[Guest]

i am a noob ... How i change my Server Name ?

You need to connect to the admin port, not the client port and you change the server name in the server config file

and how i can log on my server as admin ? ...

[Hedning]

Open mtaserver.conf

And find this:

# Admin
# Required: No
# Purpose: Defines all the people in-server who can rcon_login to admin
#          Format - Admin 
# Notes:
#     admin-level must not go above 5
#     Names and passwords are case sensitive
#Admin Default password 5

Change it to

# Admin
# Required: No
# Purpose: Defines all the people in-server who can rcon_login to admin
#          Format - Admin 
# Notes:
#     admin-level must not go above 5
#     Names and passwords are case sensitive
#Admin Default password 5
Admin n00b[RO]  5

Start your server and open the console ( F8 ) and write rcon_login

yup, type ur IP not server name

U can check ur IP at >HERE<

[Brophy]

You can use the dns too, if the ip matches..

Only thing you have to remember if the server is on the same pc as your own then use 127.0.0.1

or localhost

I have the same problem....

Username :

Password :

Host: 81.157.222.146

Port: 22126

Connection Timed Out

But the thing is, I can connect with 127.0.0.1, but then only I can play on the server.... and the server does not appear in the serverlist.

P.S Delete the thread I started called Admin 1

Some (most) routers won't allow you to connect to local services using your external IP address, therefore you either need to use your local (LAN) IP address (normally starts with 192.168. or 10.0.) or the loopback address (127.0.0.1).

The loopback address is basically an IP address which is assigned to the local machine and will ONLY work on the local machine. For example, 172.0.0.1 is my computer but ONLY to me, 127.0.0.1 to you is your own machine. The local or internal IP will only work for computers on the same local network (if they are plugged in to your router).

In order for people on the internet to play on your server, you need to open the correct ports on your router. Check the link in my sig and have a look at the bottom of the page for a guide on how to do this.

You can connect to your own server with either your loopback or local IP, other people must connect to it with your internet IP.

Thankyou for the advice, it is helpful.

However, when I used my address which begins with 192.168, I manage to get the server up and running - but other people cannot join the game.

Which ports must I add to the exeptions list on the firewall?
