Guest Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 Hi Everyone. I play Vice City with a friend in the same place, with the same outcoming ip. It seems that we can't be connected together because of this. Is there a solution ? Link to comment
[PiG] Ponch Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 Nope it seems to be built into MTA not to allow more than one connection at a time from the same IP address. Unless (and I don't know if this will work or not because I've never tried it), but you could try and run one of the computers through an anonymous proxy. That might give the other computer another IP address to work from. give it a try... Link to comment
tarrant_ino Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 you CAN connect to the same server from the same ip address this was fixed in version 0.2 was not possible in earlier versions Link to comment
[PiG] Ponch Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 I stand corrected Link to comment
tarrant_ino Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 lol it was the one feature i was waiting for ! (edit) not that i have any idea why it would not work if you are using v 0.2 Link to comment
Guest Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 In fact it seems not to work because when i connect my friend is disconnected from server, and if he connects , i am disconnected. I have the v0.2.2. Any idea ? Link to comment
tarrant_ino Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 I take it you are using NAT via ICS.... are you using a router? Link to comment
DeLuXxX Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 I shared my dsl connection last week end... We were 3, 2 guyz with me in LAN, just connected with a hub... There were no problem @all... All of us used ASE, all of us played in the same server... There were no lag, but we had a few more crashs than usual (but really a few, not many) EDIT : here are the setts we used on LAN : - All on a same workgroup - Dynamic IPs - All comps under XP pro - The connection were shared simply : properties/sharing/allow users blabla.....and that's all (no router, no Idunnowhat) - All comps were AMD XP 2000+ with 1Gb RAM (me) and 512Gb (2 others)... - My network is 100Mbps I think I told u all I can...

Guest Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 Yes I'm using a router. We are both in LAN but inside the enterprise network. Link to comment
dystopia Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 I use a belkin router, fowarded the port, have no problems with it. every now and then one computer will get disconnected from the server, but it happens just as much when i'm using only one pc under the same ip. might try setting '2003' as a special application port Link to comment
Guest Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 where can i set this special port ? Is it going to work even if we have the same footbridge ? Link to comment
Guest Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 I didn't install ASE. But MAT works without this install. Could it Be a good reason ? Link to comment
SM xenex Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 ASE is not needed for MTA to work , ASE is only used to find servers easier.that way you dont have to remember or write them down eachtime. Link to comment
dystopia Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 Go to your default gateway ip, for current belkins it is 192.168.2.1 in internet explorer. there will be a section named special application ports, just put 2003 in one of the slots and enable it. for linksys, i think it's called port fowarding, for other routers, it will be something similar.

IyonUK Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 Dystopia: Can you detail that port forwarding thing? I've got a Belkin router and the little bast will not let me host a server. Link to comment
Robpol86 Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 nice going in reviving an old thread. LOOK @ THE DATES B4 U POST! Link to comment
Dgtadude Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 Robpol86 i know its not "legal" to bring up old thread and it also sucks . but it seemed like that person needed extra help with the subject . And i know that if he made a new thread people would flame him telling him to search ... so . the guy is kind of inside a "box" I think they should include a reason on why they are bringing up old threads... Link to comment
Robpol86 Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 he also revived another old thread http://forum.mtavc.com/viewtopic.php?t=5931 but yea, i guess i wont lock either of em... Link to comment
Dgtadude Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 ohh alright . In that case then . yeah he's just bringin them up to get more post counts or something (did that one day , but i got punished already ...) Link to comment
PSYKO Dragon Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 If you want to play with your friend in the same house use a router and a subnet. i have 2 computers in my basement, and both go through a router which come out to the internet as 1 IP. i figured that out when playing Call of Duty multiplayer which uses the CD key instead of the IP, but now I can't because of the new patch for it (damn PunkBuster!) Link to comment
IyonUK Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 Sorry guys. Not trying to get my post count up (I don't care about that). It just sucks that I've done almost all I can to get a server running from behind a router - if I rip the bast out and connect directly then I have no trouble - but there goes my network. If I go to TvKe's Server page and find my IP address:port then my server shows up - just no-one can connect to it from outside. My mate was trying to do so last night. I've opened up ports 2003, 2126 and 4003 on the router's firewall, placed it in the DMZ (?) and even disable the firewall on the router but I have no joy. It's right in saying that I didn't want to start a new thread - I was just wondering if there was anything I've missed. Again, my apologies. Link to comment
IyonUK Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 Me again. Slap me with a suitable hard object that comes to hand and then close this thread, I won't be posting again. Right, here goes... My problem was that I was running the hardware firewall AND ZoneAlarm (the free version) simultaneously. When I was directly connected to the cable modem ZoneAlarm was letting the traffic through, however once I viewed the ZoneAlarm log file I found it was blocking traffic to port 2003 which was intended for my local IP of 192.168.2.3. I guess the combination of the two, and firewall configurations etc. was clashing so the router was letting people through but then ZoneAlarm was stopping them. (Still doesn't explain why my mate couldn't get through yesterday when ZoneAlarm was off though...) Anyhow, feel free to lock this thread, boot me out of the forums or whatever. All I wanted was this solved and I probably will not post again. Apologies for being an arse and also thank you for getting me thinking on many different levels. Link to comment
Dgtadude Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 Well . Just make sure you are fowarding the port your server uses on your touter correctly . Call the Router free support line if there's one . and they'll help ya . Ohh yeah and LOl Link to comment
Chewd Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 In case your still having problems this works for me.. 1. open cmd prompt 2. type "telnet" without the "" 3 type "open port 2003" without quotes and 2003 represent whatever port you want to open repeat for each port Link to comment
