Oli Posted September 1, 2003 Posted September 1, 2003 ok sorry if this is really simple and i just cant see it but, I am trying to set up a server over internet to play with some friends. I have all the latest server config utilities and stuff. I set up the ports etc and start the server and it says that it has started successfully, but when I try and connect to it with client it says connection timed out. Im on a 576kb/s connection behind a router. I have forwarded port 2003 to my computer from the router but cannot figure out what is going on. Any help would be much appreciated. I know u always say to search, but i have done that and ofund nothing useful. thanx in advance
Scorpion_Blood Posted September 1, 2003 Posted September 1, 2003 lol do u searched the faq??? try making the server enable were it says ASE to see if apears in ASE, id t try connect whit this ip 127.0.0.1 (this is the base ip of ur comp if it works then u have a problem in connection! and try your lan ip that i think is 192.186.2.X if it works then u are making a server just for lan and not for internet!
me Posted September 1, 2003 Posted September 1, 2003 from the FAQ: http://mtavc.com/page.php?show=faq2#11 it would appear as though the server is starting correctly, but you just aren't connecting... I'm not certain how to fix this, or if there is a fix, so I can't help you...
SM xenex Posted September 2, 2003 Posted September 2, 2003 I also sometimes get this problem i set up my server and then other people cant get on the server, but i do , but then after a few tries they get in , so i would try a couple of times first,and do you have a firewall?i have learned shutting it down helps sometimes, if u are using xp, remember xp has its own firewall too.(start->control panel->network conections->(your conection)->properties)
{ULK}_LiNuX Posted September 2, 2003 Posted September 2, 2003 i have a problem to when i setup a server it says eror canot open player admin and eror cant unable to bind socket
Oli Posted September 2, 2003 Author Posted September 2, 2003 ok i have sorted it, i was trying to connect through my external internet ip, but when connecting through my internal LAN ip it works, and other people can connect through internet.
me Posted September 2, 2003 Posted September 2, 2003 Blokker! Someone! Put what he just said in the FAQ! I didn't understand a word of it, but it must be important!
Iam A. Spammer Posted September 2, 2003 Posted September 2, 2003 I just think he said that he used his internet ip instead of localhost (127.0.0.1) and that it didn't work!
Mr.Bill Posted September 2, 2003 Posted September 2, 2003 because your "me" hehehe now did I say that meaningfully, or just to confuse poeple?: BHAHAHAH!!!
