By the way anyone know what the map on the front page of this website is called? I really like that map.

Where?

Try pasting the results from the server troubleshooter.

I've just been trying different things. I noticed the server console said something about master server so I tried putting the ip and port in and forwarded and blocked the port. Didn't seem to do anything...here's what I was talking about. Right under ....execing configs/....

Here is the results from the troubleshooter under those settings.

> Checking if 70.85.9.178:27900 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
> 5 entry/entries found in server list for your IP address:

> 70.85.9.178:27916
> 70.85.9.178:27919
> 70.85.9.178:27918
> None of the entries have the right port!
> Can't connect to the server, and there are multiple entries on the server list

I'll switch everything back to the other settings and post those.

I set all the stuff back to how it was and here is the results...

Well, if you used the port i mentioned earlier in the firewall, nothing will have happened because it was the wrong one. Basically, what you want to do:

Go on the server computer, go to start-> run, type in cmd, press enter, type in ipconfig /all and press enter. You should find a local IP address, usually looks like 192.*.*.* . Then you go to your router/modem or whatever and tell it to forward port 27910 to that IP address.

Ok I fixed that. Problem is, I have two routers. Router1 is what my computer is connected to. Router1 is connect to Router2. I don't know what to about forwarding on router2.

Shock. Don't even think about making a 24/7 shock server. If you did that, you would be a marked man. Trust me, I pay KnacK the travel expenses and chainsaw hire costs.

ExtremeGamer321 · « **Reply #26 on:** April 07, 2008, 03:54:43 PM »

I wouldn't do that. I just want it in my rotation...I think I've learned my lesson about one map 24/7's. BAD IDEA!
-------------------------
I may try directly connecting my computer to Router2 and see what I can do. It may possibly work. Though I would have to mess up my current settings and setup a static ip. But if it works it's worth it. I know it's possible to make it work through my current settings but...I'm not that great at networking. My dad could do it though I'll have him do it.

ExtremeGamer321 · « **Reply #27 on:** April 07, 2008, 04:07:34 PM »

So I connect my computer to Router2. I start the server, I just figure I'll go onto tanother computer and see if it's there. It is. But then I find out it's because when I connected my computer to Router2, the 2 computers were on the network and there it saw it as a LAN game...you just can't win!!!

KnacK · « **Reply #28 on:** April 07, 2008, 05:27:48 PM »

FOr the second router, you have to port forward 27910 from the internet router to the internal router:

internet -> [1st router - NAT 27910 to WAN IP of 2nd router] -> [2nd router - NAT 27910 to IP of your pc]

If you post the ips of all of your equipment, it might be easier.

ExtremeGamer321 · « **Reply #29 on:** April 07, 2008, 06:12:34 PM »

Lemme get this straight. Router1 is what I am currently connected to. Router1 is connected to router2 which is connected to the internet through a modem. I don't know if you giving me directions for my temporary settings but to clear things up that is how am I setup right now. And another thing how do I find the IP of my router?

Draw us a picture of your network from the "Internet" to your pc.

ExtremeGamer321 · « **Reply #31 on:** April 07, 2008, 06:25:46 PM »

Ok. I'll do the best I can...

Rtr stands for router if u didn't already get that.

ExtremeGamer321 · « **Reply #32 on:** April 11, 2008, 10:24:28 AM »

I was able to run a server off a computer connected to router 2 and people joined! Problem is I can't see it on the server list....so now I am really confused...

KnacK · « **Reply #33 on:** April 11, 2008, 10:26:59 AM »

is router one a switch or a router?

What's the model of the device?

ExtremeGamer321 · « **Reply #34 on:** April 11, 2008, 10:34:29 AM »

It's a Linksys router. Model BEFSR41.

ExtremeGamer321 · « **Reply #35 on:** April 11, 2008, 10:50:36 AM »

People are actually playing on my server now...I just can't see it in the server list! I can only see it on the computer the server's being hosted on. Makes no sense to me....

-----
Edit: and I'm sure it's there because I see it in DP Resource Server Status page...

It's "{eX.Sp} Public"

http://digitalpaint.therisenrealm.com/tools/serverbrowser2/

And people are playing (I wish I could play too). I just don't understand it....

KnacK · « **Reply #36 on:** April 11, 2008, 10:59:23 AM »

whats the IP address of your server

ExtremeGamer321 · « **Reply #37 on:** April 11, 2008, 11:00:55 AM »

It's 76.4.68.110:18107

ExtremeGamer321 · « **Reply #38 on:** April 11, 2008, 11:55:49 AM »

and When I try to connect by IP it does this over and over...

KnacK · « **Reply #39 on:** April 11, 2008, 12:54:26 PM »

STOP

Did you set the port in your server?

Did you forward the correct port in your router?

Where in the hell did you get 18107?
