Andycambo Posted April 9, 2004 Posted April 9, 2004 Hi, i've been trying to get a server admin running and so far have been unsucessful. People keep telling me its easy but I just can't do it. I can get the admin tool up on mIRC but i can not connect to my own server to use this. it keeps saying connection refused on mIRC and connection timeout on the admin tool Has anyone got any ideas ?? Anything would be greatful. Thanxs Andy
[KFC]KungFu Posted April 9, 2004 Posted April 9, 2004 check the obvious... correct password and port?
orappa Posted April 9, 2004 Posted April 9, 2004 Have you opened the admin port on the server (if it has a firewall / router)? People open the game port but often forget to open the admin port as well (default 4003).
Andycambo Posted April 9, 2004 Author Posted April 9, 2004 aye, i tried 4003. just keeps refusing the connection. I did get it going once but that was pure chance ! and since then no luck
Andycambo Posted April 9, 2004 Author Posted April 9, 2004 actually, how do you open the admin port ?
orappa Posted April 9, 2004 Posted April 9, 2004 And you're sure it's not something on your computer stopping it (e.g. firewall)?
Andycambo Posted April 9, 2004 Author Posted April 9, 2004 ye, i turned my firewall off when i was tryin to connect.
orappa Posted April 9, 2004 Posted April 9, 2004 Are you running MTAMA from the server itself? If so, I just tested out MTAMA on mine and it didn't connect when I specified my external IP, but it did when I used my internal one (LAN IP - usually starts with 192).
Guest Posted April 10, 2004 Posted April 10, 2004 ok ok do this. turn that firewal off launch the game server. than check that dos window you get for this line ADMINSERVER:sucsesfily started on port 4003 if its there continue it it isnt check the mtaserver.conf file and go to the section were you can set admin on /off admin pass and admin port. remove the # in front of AdminServer 1 AdminPort 4003 AdminPassword "blablabla" save and run the server again check if the line is correct. that start your mta client and in the ip window typ 127.0.0.1 if you can get in you know its working ,launch op mirc ip 127.0.0.1 connect if it works you can test script and schit and evrything. than if you dont know your ip http://www.whatismyip.com. than change the 127.0.01 with your ip. hope that helped in anyway
orappa Posted April 10, 2004 Posted April 10, 2004 Oh, that didn't occur to me. If you want a step-by-step guide to setting it up for MTAMA, a guy on my forum asked me (I dunno why he didn't use the official forums - must have been a reason), so I wrote this for him: http://www.eclipse-games.co.uk/Forum/vi ... ?p=167#167
Andycambo Posted April 10, 2004 Author Posted April 10, 2004 Thanxs for the help guys really appreciated I am getting closer!! But... when i open my server and try and connect through mIRC on the Dos window it says Admin Log in Pete My network IP etc but then it automatically logs me back out, i have turned my firewall of and tried a different Admin Port number but no luck. Any Ideas ?? Again thanxs for the help so far Thanxs Andy
Andycambo Posted April 11, 2004 Author Posted April 11, 2004 Well i guess you guys are out of Ideas then, thanxs for the help i'll try and figure the rest out. Thanxs Again Andy

Andycambo Posted April 12, 2004 Author Posted April 12, 2004 Well i had to format my comp so i tried this again and it worked so i don't know what it was but it's working now, So thanxs a lot to all the people that helped me !
Guest Posted April 12, 2004 Posted April 12, 2004 btw 2 posts back that ip 192.168.0.1 isnt that the ip of your routher? im pretty sure it isnt your internal ip. though im happy for you its working. maybe try this to make sure you have the good internal ip. click on stat->run->command->press enter than in the dos window ipconfig. look for ip adres that the good internel one
T66 Posted May 20, 2004 Posted May 20, 2004 I have got a problem, if i connect to my own server with IRC he says: "disconnected:user" firewall was off, my own ip doesn't work, 172.0.0.1 doesn't work and 192.168.0.1 doesn't work either. Who is smart enough to make it work... Greetzzz, T66
