I tried everything and it doesn't work
« on: April 30, 2008, 10:09:14 AM »
Hey everyone,
I hope you can help me.
I'm triying to start a Server and I thing I did it right,but it doesn't work.


- I have Vista

-I forwarded port 27910 (I have Netgear DG384GB)

-Troubleshooter says:

DP Resource Public Server Troubleshooter
Specified server information: 79.217.237.252:27910
Actual user IP address: Same as provided IP
RCON password provided? no
Run at Wed, 30 Apr 2008 15:54:43 +0000

TEST PROCESS
===================
> Checking if 79.217.237.252:27910 can be connected to...
>    Writing to socket: '\xFF\xFF\xFF\xFFstatus\n'
>    Attempting to read, 3 second timeout...
>    Error: Read operation timed out, port is firewalled? data packet lost in transit?
> Failed to connect to server!
> Checking server list...
> Getting server list from http://dplogin.com/serverlist.php
> 1 entry/entries found in server list for your IP address:
>    79.217.237.252:27910

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


-My Server looks like it should.

-And this is my myserver.config saying:

If you have problems starting a server, running a server, your friends can't connect to your server, or your server does not show up on the server list, answer the following questions and post the answers. 


FAILING TO DO THIS OR POSTING THAT YOU "SEARCHED THE FORUMS AND COULDN'T FIND A SOLUTION" WILL GET YOUR POST REMOVED.

1. Public ip address and port used for server. - done

2. Visit the server troubleshooter here and post your results - done

3. If you are making a stand alone server, post your startup command line and a copy of your config file with the passwords erased.

4. If this is a home server, make sure you know how to forward the port that your server uses from the WAN side of your router to the LAN side of your router. If you have questions on how to do this, post screen shots of your router config page showing the port forwarding setup.

No, the command line startup is not in your screen shot.
Yes, you better have a static ip on your server.
You still haven't posted a screen shot of your NAT setup on your router.
