MTA Server

[Phoenixx]

So , guys I want to make an MTA server. Using MTAserver.exe , and running it on my Windows... I mean I don't want to pay server hosting companies for hosting My Server. So , I already had a server ... And it was working ... Ports were open , I had players ...

And now I bought A new internet , you know what I mean...

I mean like I bought internet from different Internet Service Company.

I actually bought An USB Wireless Adapter ( TP-LINK TL-WN722N ) , and I connect using Wireless Conection to my friend's router. It's Thomson Router ( T-com , white color ). And now when I open ports , On MTAserver.exe I write "openports" and says that all ports are closed. But I opened them using Windows Firewall already ... I probably know why it's saying "All ports closed" ...

Is it because I connect using Wireless Connection ? I Think it is the reason... Is there a way to open ports on this USB Wireless Adapter , because I really want to make MTA server. Hm.....

So , will i have to go to my friend and open ports on his PC ( I mean his router ) ? Or I Can simply open ports on my USB and It will be like I opened it on router ? You guys probably know that .. So please Help Me with this . Many people are using this TP Link and they also maybe want to make MTA server..I will make a tutorial of it on YouTube. I need Your Help guys

Thanks to those who reply to this post . And 100x thanks from me to those who help in this !

You mainly need to forward the ports on the router itself, search online for its manual with the standard adress (like 192.168.x.x in webbrowser) and use a port forwaring guide (easy to find but router and brand specific)

Sometimes the router only mirrors the actual internet so then you would need to open the port on the main net modem (mostly cable ones and reachable with another page) and then both on there as the wireless router.

About that wireless adapter, if you connect it to a router that has open ports it'll work, isn't wifi receiver specific

Ah Thank You. And ... I don't know how long will it take for players to download ? Will it take them long for the server to upload ... ?

Depends on your internet connection speed and how large the scripts are on your server (client-side, so just a part of the resources directory's size) Most of the times with a freeroam mode as default (play) it's a job of seconds.

To make the internal download server also work you need to forward the right ports, use the correct ones from the 'openports' listing (all of them) to make sure
