Guest Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Ok, let me just say I have no idea about internet connections at all. I need to know what a proxy connection is and why I can't set up an MTA server with one. I thought it was a connection that always connected with a different IP address, but I'm not sure. Anyway, when playing other online games, I can set up servers for LAN games perfectly fine. But when I tried to set one up with MTA, the server seemed to be up and running, but wouldn't appear in the list of servers. I've disabled my firewall altogether and still nothing. What else could it be? If it is because of a proxy connection, how come I can set up servers in other games? And is it possible to disable a proxy connection and set up a proper one? EDIT: Oops, this was meant to go in the server problems section. Could someone move it please? Link to comment
MTA Team Blokker_1999 Posted October 16, 2006 MTA Team Share Posted October 16, 2006 You can not see your own local server in the server list. The only way to check if it is publicly available is by asking someone else to check if they can see it in ASE. Link to comment
Guest Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Ok, well I just tried checking for it on ASE from another computer in my house, but still nada. I also can't connect to my server through the remote admin. I go to http://www.myipaddress.com/ and enter that IP into the Host bit, but it just keeps saying "Connection Timed Out". Link to comment
Gamefreek Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Checking it from another pc in your house is still a local pc since they run off the same IP address. In order to connect to your server with remote admin you need to enter 127.0.0.1 in the IP slot if its being run on the same network Link to comment
Jani Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 In order to connect to your server with remote admin you need to enter 127.0.0.1 in the IP slot if its being run on the same network That will only work if it's on the computer you're trying to connect to it from...if it's on another computer on your LAN then you need to enter the local IP, not localhost.

Gamefreek Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Gah yeah sorry thats if you are trying to connect via the same pc..if its on the same network you need to get the local IP which usually starts with 192.168.*.* Link to comment
