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
Forwarded the port and firewall. Server was running when I ran test also and can connect using 127.0.0.1:27910.
But its not on the list and I cant connect through normal IP. Whats Up?

Heart beat is acknowledged and is in config.

Go to www.ipchicken.com and give us your public ip address.

Give us a screen shot of your port forwarding configuration of your router.

Make sure that your firewall is either disabled or that ports 27900 through 27930 have been allowed through.

65.80.53.247

Is your IP address 192.168.2.1? That's usually the address of the router.

[Boozie]

The IP is right because one day I did it once.

[Eiii]

Are you SURE, though? That really doesn't sound right.

Try running ipconfig from the console and use the IP address that gives you.

[Boozie]

Every time I try and run something from "run" it will bring up the window and close it, so I can't see anything.

[KnacK]

1. You need to allow 27900 udp to pass through your router
2. Goto Start > Run > type in the word cmd then hit enter
3. in the command line type ipconfig and tell us what it says.

192.168.2.2
Changed it in my forwards.

[KnacK]

Now run the test again and let us know what it says.

[Boozie]

Same thing, I used the IP that was given to me from IPChicken.

[KnacK]

did your forward port 27900 udp to your internal ip address?

[Boozie]

Yeah, but it's because I have 2 routers. One wired connected to the wireless, and the wireless distributes internet through out my house using ethernet cables that are in the walls. Last time I tried this I connected my computer directly to the wired modem, forwarded the port and my server worked (just using the wired modem). So the port is forwarded on both modems. I can't connect my wired modem to my computer anymore, because the modem isn't no where near it. I have no clue why I can't this to work, but I can get Hamachi (a program that connects 2 or more people on a network so that they can play LAN games from anywhere in the world, which you need to forward a port for(if you didn't know about Hamachi))

Any suggestions on a way around this?

[KnacK]

draw me a picture of your network

[Boozie]

This was fun to draw in paint.

Reason I have 2 routers is because my wired router is my main router and is our service provider. The wireless is because it has 4-5 ethernet cable plugs to distribute the internet, while the wired has 1.

Easy Terms.
Wired = provider
Wireless = distributor
Makes it easier to think about.

[KnacK]

ok,

Do you have access to change port forwarding in your wired router?  If you do, you need to change the ip that 27900-27910 are point to to the ip address assigned to the wireless router.

THen assign the above ports in your wireless router to your pc.

[Boozie]

Can't do it unless I have a laptop. I don't know where my father's is, so i'll wait for my brother over the weekend, but he has vista. Vista is ugly.

When I do forward ports for both it gets all screwy when it makes the switch from router to router, but we will see.

[KnacK]

This is why people dont run reliable servers from their homes
