Could not bind...

[Guest]

I have a problem. When I start my server, I get a Error: ERROR: Could not bind the server on interface '62.51.8.235' and port '22004'!

Does anyone know what's causing this problem and how to solve it?

you do not need to fill the ip part of the mtaserver.conf

Thanks, it worked. With the quick connect option I can get on my server, but he doesn't show up in the server list. How is this possible?

If you are hosting a server on a local computer the IP is: localhost or 127.0.0.1

I think you do not understand me. I am able to play on the server (with ip-adress 192.168.1.33 and on port 22004), but my server doesn't show up in the server list. He does show up at the list on game-monitor.com. http://www.game-monitor.com/mta_GameServer/62.51.8.235:22004/OekelWms_test_server.html

You forwarded the ASE port?

ASE most of the time doesnt show local servers in the list

You forwarded the ASE port?

Yes, I forwarded my ASE port. My server does stand in the game-monitor.com list after all.

ASE most of the time doesnt show local servers in the list

So, how can I get my server shown in the list? Or is there no way to do this with a local server?

Your server will show up to everyone else but yourself

Thanks for your response. Now I got another problem. Somebody from another pc wanted to join the server, but he couldn't get in (Error: Connection timed out).

He tried to get in by the following information;

Host: 62.51.8.235

Port: 22004

Using that information, he still got "Error: Connection timed out.". Does anyone know how to solve this?

This is my mtaserver.conf file:
