Gigi86 Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 I started a race server called Oldschool on port 22003 and I tried to connect to it from MTA on the same computer. It doesn't show up in the list and I really don't know how to quick connect to it. What am I supposed to write in each field? What do I write in "Host" and what do I write in "Port". The server has no password. I tried to write my IP in the host field and the 22003 and 22126 in the port field but it just doesn't connect. Please help me, I really want to have my own server...

Brophy Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 if the server is on the same pc or lan as where you are trying to play the game from, it wont show up ( ASE is funny like that ), try connecting to the same port but for host try 127.0.0.1 or localhost Link to comment

Now I just hope other players can see it on the list Link to comment
Gigi86 Posted April 22, 2007 Author Share Posted April 22, 2007 OK, now I can connect to my own server but no one else can... A friend of mine tried from his computer abd couldn't find the server and quick connect didn't worke either. How can I get other people to connect to my server or make it show on the list?

Wheelburner Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 I think that ur ports are closed... Link to comment
Gigi86 Posted April 22, 2007 Author Share Posted April 22, 2007 I think that ur ports are closed... Well it could be man, I don't really know. How do I set my ports, can you explain this to me more precisely cause I really haven't dealt with anything like this so I don't know how it works. I know that my port is 22003, the server log shows my IP as 127.0.0.1, and I've checked my IP and it's 86.121.146.241. So what do I have to do to show up on the server list? Link to comment
erorr404 Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Do you have a router or firewall? Read the instructions to find out how to do it. Link to comment
Gigi86 Posted April 23, 2007 Author Share Posted April 23, 2007 I don't have a router or firewall. I have a broadband connection that goes into a computer sitting right next to mine. We share that connection through a cross-over cable network (a 2 computer network). Besides following the instrucions writen in the conf file I don't know what else to do. Would it help if I put the internet connection directly in my computer instead of sharing it? Link to comment
Brophy Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 did you turn on ase in the server config? your ip would be shown as 127.0.0.1 on the logs because you are connecting via the same machine Link to comment

So what else do I need to change? Link to comment
Brophy Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 well if you have no firewall or router, they it should be done, dont forget you wont see your own server on the list, because its localhost also make sure windows firewall isnt turned on Link to comment
Gigi86 Posted April 23, 2007 Author Share Posted April 23, 2007 I'm very sure I have no firewall. Windows firewall is turned off too, but the server just isn't showing on the list. Someone said my ports might be closed. How is that and how can I turn them on then? Or at least I would like my friends to be able to quick-connect to the server even if it doesn't show on the list but we couldn't do that either. Link to comment
Gigi86 Posted April 23, 2007 Author Share Posted April 23, 2007 Victory! my server finally shows on the list but I'm still adding maps. But it takes a lot cause I'm really picky!... Thx for the help dudes. I think the problems were caused by my cross-over cable. Link to comment
