Running a Public Server while networked and firewalled.

[Guest]

Is there any way that I can run a public server even though I am networked to 2 other computers and behind a router firewall?

My server works between computers on the network amazing, however

no one else can join

If any one can help it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

forward ports 2003 and 2126 on your router

What's 2126 for? I've always told people to forward 2003 only (and it worked).

2126 is for ase. i dunno how ase works so i dunno if u HAVE to forward it, i just know i query it w/ php to get live stats from it

I opened up those ports using my router config utility, and

I found my actual ip (not the 192.168.123.100 one) it's 69.192.5.169.

Now how does someone join my game?? Do I run the server with 192 ?

I'm confused and annoyed.

Please help the retarded...

thanks

When someone joins they will join with 69.192.5.169.

That 192 one is your LAN IP that your router assigns to your PC...

Actually I think he was asking more along the lines of "How does someone find the server?"

Well, hopefully they find it in ASE...

I've already hosted on several occasions and it never shows up in ASE.

(Yes I "Register the Server with All-Seeing Eye.")

Do I run the server with 192

You don't have to worry about that. If you just start the server, any clients that see it on All-Seeing Eye will automatically get the 69.192.5.169 IP.. (<--- That is your actual Internet IP)

thanks a whole fucking bunch everyone.

you all rock.

but as you said, no one can find my server in ase unless i give them my 69. i.p.

If you are forwarding the ase port as robpol said then ase should be displaying your correct internet ip.

Note ASE port is server port plus 123, so game:2003, ase:2126, game:2001, ase 2124 etc.

You may also want to forward whichever port you set for the admin console if you wish to allow external players to administrate your server.
