Checking if my server is online

[AG Adam]

Hello all, do you know a webpage, where I can check:

Is my server is connectable by others

Is Game-Monitor.com see it?

You can try TCP ports with it (MTA needs 3 ports: one for game (UDP), one for internal http server (TCP), one for Game-monitor).

Default values: 22003 (UDP) for game data, 22005 (TCP) for http server, 22126 (UDP) for Game-monitor.

So only 22005 will be available for testing - but if it works, others should work fine too.

Also you can connect to your server http if you start one of resources (can't remember name) and simply point your browser to http://your.ip.number:22005/

If you want to be sure if it's accessible from another computer - try http://hidemyass.com/ - but it's a lot simplier to ask somebody to open it.

And for UDP checking, I'll quote another forum:

Hi,

udp protocal is connectionless, and you have to check if the server is avaliable by receiving some data from it. The flow is:

1. send data to remote server

2. wait for the server's responsing data

3. response is received indicates it's avaliable, timeout indicates not.

So, you must send some data to the server, and the data should be in the right format that will cause the server to response something to it.

Hope it helps.

So there isn't a simple webpage for testing it, cause it needs to send data in proper format, but the simpliest possible way is to force game-monitor to check your server - if you register on their website and wants to manually add a server - they're showing data from it before you can continue. You will need to wait anyway, to see your server on game-monitor list, but at least you can be sure it see your server.
