Cannot connect!

[wagenhuis]

Hello again, trying to make my server public now, but cannot connect!

I added the port to my router, i use Mr. Fixit's serverlist for 2.0

added my ip there.

when i want to connect... the screen freezes... and cannot connect.

Any sugestion?

read many other topics, but no succes :<

If you use Mr Fixit's serverlist.cs, you do not need to change anything...

Does the server console show anything at all when you try to connect? If not, you still have an ip somewhere misconfigured.

// ==================================================================================================
// ServerList.cs
// ==================================================================================================
//    	1.0 	RunUO Beta 36	Initial version
//    	1.1 	Mr Fixit	Now automaticly detects if you are connecting localy and uses the
//				servers local ip in the client serverlist.
//	1.2	Mr Fixit	Internet IP autodetection using www.whatismyip.com.
//  	1.3	Mr Fixit	If script fails to find the internet ip, keep the old one and try
//				again in # minutes.
//      1.4	Mr Fixit	You can now add AutoIP mirrors. Added whatismyip.com and myip.com.
//      1.5	Mr Fixit	Adjusted the AutoIP mirror engine so it supports more mirrors.
//				Added findmyip.com and ipaddy.com.
//      1.6	Mr Fixit	IP is now trimmed (Just in case). Added simflex.com, edpsciences.com,
//				ipid.shat.net and checkip.dyndns.org.
//      1.7     Mr Fixit        Removed www.whatismyip.com is it seems to be out of buisness.
//      1.8     Mr Fixit        Added a message to the console with ServerList.cs version when server loads.
//				Now detects the internet ip when the server starts.
//				Now checks if the ip has changed every 60 minutes instead of 30 minutes.
//      1.9     Mr Fixit        Removed noip.com mirror as it isnt working anymore.
//      2.0     Mr Fixit        Now only renews the ip every 24 hours (1440 minutes).

Thatis Mr.Fixit's serverlist. I only changed the red part, cuz thats what i had to do if i understood correctly.

In my router. (192.168.1.1) i opened "Viritual Server"

Added that to the list, this should forward the Port.

2593 ~ 2593 192.168.1.1. Saved settings and done.

When server is online, and i try to connect with my own IP: 84.105.180.54

The UO screen just freezes for a while. Nothing is shown in the console.

When i want to connect with 127.0.0.1 i got no problems tho.

[Malaperth]

You misunderstood... When using Mr Fixits, it is not necessary to change anything...

And, that 'virtual server' may not be what you think it is (although it may be also). Look for specific Port Forwarding in your router setup.

[wagenhuis]

okay, so i didnt change ANYTHINg in mr. fixits thing now,

opened EVERY PORT in my router, with the help of my manual.

Trying to connect now.... "Cannot connect to Ultima Online"

What shows in your server console window when you try to connect?

[wagenhuis]

100%, nothing!

[Malaperth]

Then you have an IP or port problem. You can get your ip from whatsmyip.com, and you can check port 2593 at canyouseeme.org.

[Thistle]

2593 ~ 2593 192.168.1.1. Saved settings and done.

I just noticed this! Why are you port forwarding to your router? That's not correct, you should be port forwarding to the computer that the shard is running on ie: 192.168.1.104

[wagenhuis]

well, of that 192.168.1.1 . I can only change the last number. to 0, 1, 101 or what ever. Cannot touch the other numbers.

There was no mention of changing anything but the last portion... 192.168.1.1 is the lan IP of your router and it will not help to forward port 2593 to your router. You will have to find your server machines lan IP and forward port 2593 to that. You can find it by typing ipconfig in a command prompt.

[wagenhuis]

Argh, this is drivin'me crazy!

my IPconfig:

IP-adres 192.168.1.100
Subnetmasket 255.255.255.0
Standaardgateway 192.168.1.1

so i went to my router.

Protocol : Both
Port Range
2593 ~ 2593
Redirect IP: 192.168.1.100

going to, Open Port Check Tool

add the port 2593, and i get:

Error: I could not see your service on 84.105.180.54 on port (2593)
Reason: Connection refused

[Malaperth]

If you have no other hardware or firewalls, and you are sure that you activated the port forwarding, then I would guess that your isp is actively blocking incoming connections.

[wagenhuis]

well, on a old computer i could run a server. but since i got my laptop theconnection gets blocked. and as far as i know, i got nothing else that could possibily block it!

[Malaperth]

If your laptop has XP, you have a firewall which will have to be configured or shut down.

[wagenhuis]

Uh, when i shut dont my firewall it has no effect, so i gues ill have to configure it, can you tell me HOW?

[Malaperth]

I don't know how, I just shut mine down since my router has sufficient protection and I don't need the firewall. If you get nothing from shutting down the firewall and you get no message about access when you start the server, however, I would suspect another issue than the firewall though.

[Remo82]

What kind of router are you using?

What version of OS are you using?

Also, do you have an antivirus with a firewall or a firewall other than the windows firewall setup on your computer? if so which?

[steven73]

i got the same problem but only with local havent tryed to get public yet since its down anywasy i go to open port check tool and it reads 2593 but when i tell people to connect it connecting screen and go no futher on my black box window nuthing happens any idea y?????

[DreamCatcher]

If your using uogateway there are major issues there...And you can't connect if your patched past 5.0.7e...You have to connect thru razor if your patched past that...

Just one correction to your statement, it's 5.0.6e that is the last version of the client that UOGateway successfully worked with.

[wagenhuis]

Patched till 5.0.5 or somthing.

but if, Open Port Check Tool cannot so me. there has to be something wromg ya?

I would say that is correct.

Sounds like you either have a firewall running, or your ISP is still blocking that port for some reason.

[wagenhuis]

what is a ISP? and how can i might unblock it? :O
