RECOMMENDATIONS
===================
* Your server may not even be running; try connecting to it on this computer: run /connect 127.0.0.1:27910 in console
* Your server's port may not be forwarded; make sure you forward your ports for UDP port 27910 (and make sure it's set to the right computer address)
* Your server's port may be firewalled; make sure you allow port 27910 through your firewall
-
start by doing a port for ward of 27900 to 27930 udp to your server.
Then go to www.ipchicken.com and verify that is your correct public ip address.
Make sure you save the settings to flash.
make sure that your firewall is either off or more prefered, has 27900-27930 udp allowed through it.
-
Make sure you actually have the server turned on when you run the test.
-
Server is turned on.
My ip adress from ip chicken is 220.245.178.132 so i have forward ports to that.
do you know how to save to flash?
and i cant forward 27900-27930 udp because its says "The maximum number of entries above is 20"
-
Then just forward 27900-27920.
-
Then just forward 27900-27920.
Ummm 27900 - 27920 is 21 numbers
-
ok i got server working on a different computer using windows xp
i think Vista was the problem.
thanks for the help
-
Vista shouldn't have anything to do with the router. Doesn't matter now so long as the server is working.
-
It's probably because of a software firewall on the Vista machine then.
-
ok on the vista machine i have the server showing up on my comp but not others
for some reason it is using ip adress 192.168.1.7 instead of 220.245.178.132
the 220.245.178.132 is the ip adress from www.ipchicken.com and is also the adress i forward the ports to.
do you know how i can change it from using the wrong ip?

im guessing no 1 knows?
-
My server is running from my computer running Vista. I had to change my TCP IP Settings though. I changed my IPv4 from the default settings ( Optain an Ip automatically ) To my static Ip adress ( Which is 192.168.1.7 in your case i think) Changed the default gateway to my router's ip and the DNS servers settings. I find out how to do it with Vista there http://portforward.com/networking/static-vista.htm
Try also to disable your firewall and run your server. Maybe the problem is from the ''Great'' Windows Vista Firewall.
-
Nope no bingo! lol. still not working on vista machine.
firewall has always been off. but i tried the other things n didnt work. thanks for trying though. ill keep keep checking this topic cas the help is much appreciated!!!!
also i know the propblem is to do with the router because from another computer using xp i tried the server and same problem from same router.
im using a netcomm 1300 plus4
-
Go buy Linksys!!!
-
Linksys sucks, though, however, all routers that I've gone through have sucked.
D-Link was my first and my worst. It didn't work half the time after a few weeks/months. This router effectively stopped working eventually.
Second (or maybe third) was an Intel router. I forget what problems this router had, but I know I had some trouble with it. This router was replaced because we were going wireless. :)
Third in line was my Linksys. After heavy traffic usage, the router would saturate all the connections until it reached a point where 90% of packets would just timeout. The problem was solved by doing a cold reboot. However, after a few months, the router died completely after a cold reboot. Not to forget, the dynamic DNS option in the router did not actually work.
We're currently using a NETGEAR router at home. However, this thing has its own share of problems. The port forwarding does not correctly work. Once you add a mapping, there's a 50% chance it will disappear off the list, in which after you will be unable to edit or delete it, AND the mapping itself stops to work. You cannot re-add it because it's still on the list, even if it's invisible. This router seems to experience the same connection saturation problem as my Linksys router, but to a MUCH lesser degree (cold reboots are only done maybe once or twice a month).
==
Actually, to think about it... I think we might have gone through a Belkin router.
-
Linksys blows both Belkin and Netgear out of the water easily, as well as D-Link.
-
D-Link is worthless. It's like lamsumer stuff.
But in my case, Linksys didn't blow both out of the water. In fact, it sucked.
-
well ill give yous the hot tip.
netcomm is a p.o.s!!!!!!

the 220.245.178.132 is the ip adress from www.ipchicken.com and is also the adress i forward the ports to.
do you know how i can change it from using the wrong ip?
ok look. the ipchicken address is the one that people from the outside world will connect to. this address points at your modem.
try this though: you don't want to be port-forwarding to 220.245.178.132, as this address does not exist on your LAN. you need to forward to 192.168.1.x (whatever ip your computer has), because THAT is the address that points your router straight to your computer.
By the way... you might also consider setting it up to give your computer a static ip address each time. that way, you won't have to change the port-forward setting everytime you reboot or whatnot.
does that help any?
-
and also:
...
and i cant forward 27900-27930 udp because its says "The maximum number of entries above is 20"
thats a misinterpretation. it's saying that a max of 20 ENTRIES can be made. an entry could be a single port forwarded, or a RANGE of ports which is what you need.
fill it in like this:
Public Port - Start: 27900
Public Port - End: 27930
Private Port: (set to whatever your server uses. might be 27910 or something)
Port Type: UDP
Host IP Address: (your computer's address on the LAN. not ipchicken, but rather ipconfig. :) )
and take out all the other ones. i believe you only need that single entry. (somebody correct me if i'm wrong)
-
That's correct.
-
Hows that look????
Still not working. The server is still using my lan ip adress.
-
you got "Public Port - End" and "Private Port" switched around. re-read the settings i wrote, if you need to.
... The server is still using my lan ip adress.
what exactly do you mean? using it in what way? for what?
-
you got "Public Port - End" and "Private Port" switched around. re-read the settings i wrote, if you need to.
what exactly do you mean? using it in what way? for what?
oops. i do have them around wrong way. but when i switch them around i get this error "The total number of mapped ports can not exceed 20"
i believe the server is using my lan ip because when i join any working server (for eg Gt 69.93.11.66:27911) when i connect to it it says:
connecting to 69.93.11.66:27911
69.93.11.66:27911: challange
69.93.11.66:27911: client_connect
but then using my server its:
connecting to 192.168.1.136
192.168.1.136:27910: challange
192.168.1.136:27910: client_connect
-
make sure you don't have some sort of antivirus program with a firewall shutting you down. You seem to have it right. Also make sure that the ports are getting forwarded to that computer, the 192.168.1.136
You also dont need to forward all of those ports, just 27910 should do enough.
-
oops. i do have them around wrong way. but when i switch them around i get this error "The total number of mapped ports can not exceed 20"
ah, it appears that i was not entirely correct before. so do what KiLo suggested:
Then just forward 27900-27920.
ok, now about this:
but then using my server its:
connecting to 192.168.1.136
192.168.1.136:27910: challange
192.168.1.136:27910: client_connect
exactly what do you do to get that? do you just join from the serverlist in the game? and are you testing it on the same computer the server is running on??
-
You are port forwarding, not ip forwarding. You want to set all of this up in your NAT settings.
Public IP of modem -> private ip of server pc
THen for the ports:
Open port 27900 public to 27900 private udp
Open 27910 public to 27910 private udp.
-
"not ip forwarding"? what's ip forwarding and how does that relate? i didn't say a thing about ip forwarding..
but yah MrLuke, now that i think about it, 27900 and 27910 are probably the only two you'll need. BUT they both need to be forwarded separately to the corresponding ports on your server, like KnacK is saying:
New Entry #1:
Public Port - Start: 27900
Public Port - End: 27900
Private Port: 27900
Port Type: UDP
Host IP Address: 192.168.1.x (your ip address on the LAN)
New Entry #2:
Public Port - Start: 27910
Public Port - End: 27910
Private Port: 27910
Port Type: UDP
Host IP Address: 192.168.1.x
-
ah, it appears that i was not entirely correct before. so do what KiLo suggested:
ok, now about this:

I cant exactly do what kilo suggested because from 27900 - 27920 is 21 numbers... thats where i exceed the 20 ports.
so i have it set like this:
Entry #1:
Public Port - Start: 27900
Public Port - End: 27900
Private Port: 27900
Port Type: UDP
Host IP Address: 192.168.1.136
Entry #2:
Public Port - Start: 27910
Public Port - End: 27910
Private Port: 27910
Port Type: UDP
Host IP Address: 192.168.1.136
Entry #3:
Public Port - Start: 27920
Public Port - End: 27920
Private Port: 27920
Port Type: UDP
Host IP Address: 192.168.1.136
yes i am joining from the server list in the game. and i am trying to connect from my computer and my brothers computer from another household.
make sure you don't have some sort of antivirus program with a firewall shutting you down. You seem to have it right. Also make sure that the ports are getting forwarded to that computer, the 192.168.1.136
You also dont need to forward all of those ports, just 27910 should do enough.
there is only 1 antivirus program i am unsure about which is AVG. im pretty possitive it doesnt have a firewall.
and ports are being forward to 192.168.1.136 which is my static ip adress.

I cant exactly do what kilo suggested because from 27900 - 27920 is 21 numbers... thats where i exceed the 20 ports.
so i have it set like this:
::) duh. i knew that. looks like your three entries will probably do the job just fine.
yes i am joining from the server list in the game. and i am trying to connect from my computer and my brothers computer from another household.
Open up the serverbrowser (not the in-game one - the standalone program, which can be found in your paintball2 installation folder) from the computer at the other house. When the list loads, does it show "192.168.1.136" in the IP Address column for your server?
-
No it doesnt show up. i belive its because it is a lan address, i can only see the server from my own computer.
-
that makes no difference. as long as your server is sending a heartbeat to the master server list, it *should* work.
-
but why is it sending my static ip adress out instead of the ip it shoud be sending out?
-
If there was an option in the router settings to allow servers or dissable them... wat would it be called?
