:cMc:jacoB Posted October 2, 2004 Posted October 2, 2004 I recently switched from dialup to DSL.. and when i start a server, NO ONE can connect to it. They all say its timed out. I have like 3 different ip's and ive tried all 3, only I can connect to them and no one else can. 1 ip is for my DSL ISP 1 ip is for AOL BROADBAND the other is what shows up on http://www.whatismyip.com What am I doing wrong? thanks http://www.crazymoddingcrew.com
UA*Akira Posted October 2, 2004 Posted October 2, 2004 i'm no IT technician but you may have a firewall built into the dsl box (if dsl has that), or the company. If you have SBC DSL they have a packet loss they can't / won't fix. (shrugs) i'm the temporary reply until everyone comes in and tells you how to really fix it ^.^ UA*Akira - Embassador / Representative of Team UA.
Kent747 Posted October 2, 2004 Posted October 2, 2004 if you're behind a router you'll also need to forward the ports that you are using for MTA and [ASE (if its a public server)]. the manual should tell you what ports you'll need to forward.

:cMc:jacoB Posted October 2, 2004 Author Posted October 2, 2004 thanks. but Akira, i dont have sbc. and im sure i dont have a firewall in my dsl box. if i do, how would i go about disabling it? and kent, im not behind a router. http://www.crazymoddingcrew.com
=(SEO)= Ste00 Posted October 2, 2004 Posted October 2, 2004 aol is well known for not letting ppl host for one reason or another... not sure quite why but aol just doesnt let you connect, thats one of the reasons they have got the reputation of sucking so much...
Garuzzo Posted October 2, 2004 Posted October 2, 2004 no the reason aol is hated so much is becaused the program allowing you to connect or run your dsl (waol.exe) is a huge hogger of bandwidth HD leader. ULK Official Spammer. I am 80% addicted to Porn. What about you?
darkdreamingdan Posted October 2, 2004 Posted October 2, 2004 well, i doubt its anything to do with aol. im on aol (yes, im not happy to admit it ) and everything is ok. and btw nickl, aol have decided to give a new option of connecting. u dont have to use the crappy program, but 'aol dialer' which is soley for connected to the internet and there is no other crap. its like the default dial-up networking dialer p.s. what i h8 about aol is that stupid women who's on the adverts and goes 'welcome to aol' wen u connect(its not aol dialer thou ) . im not sure if shes in the usa, but in uk she is. edit: just noticed its my 200th post WAHOO VCP FOREVER!
:cMc:jacoB Posted October 3, 2004 Author Posted October 3, 2004 im not behind a router and it even does the same thing when im OFF aol.. when i turn on my computer, im connected to the internet. however to use aol's features i must sign on to it via broadband.. the clients cannot connect to me whether i have aol or not. and the option in network connections for firewall is OFF.. i dont get it http://www.crazymoddingcrew.com
OpiuM. Posted October 3, 2004 Posted October 3, 2004 alls i can guess is, maybe AOL has some sort of built in firewall? sorry if this has been mensioned. click me
Robpol86 Posted October 4, 2004 Posted October 4, 2004 if aol dsl works like aol dialup, then the entire connection is proxied. maby its that or parential controls? fu xerox, i hate you
:cMc:jacoB Posted October 5, 2004 Author Posted October 5, 2004 Ok I just said screw it and switched it to a linux dedicated server.. now other people (including myself) can connect to it with acceptable pings, but now another problem has arose: i cannot connect to it via admin+ I'm positive i have all the settings in mtaserver.conf correct, including admin port 4003, client port 2003, server crazymoddingcrew.com, and password.. help pls? http://www.crazymoddingcrew.com
Scorp Posted October 5, 2004 Posted October 5, 2004 Ok I just said screw it and switched it to a linux dedicated server.. now other people (including myself) can connect to it with acceptable pings, but now another problem has arose: i cannot connect to it via admin+I'm positive i have all the settings in mtaserver.conf correct, including admin port 4003, client port 2003, server crazymoddingcrew.com, and password.. help pls? remember to enable admin+ in MTA:mA/options the line for adding admin+ in mtaserver.conf should look like this. # AdminPlus# Required: No # Purpose: Defines whether or not the Server should accept connections from Admin+ Clients # Notes: # Enabling this feature will use bandwidth to the equivalent of an extra player # 0 - disabled # 1 - enabled AdminPlus 1 remember to turn it on with 1 also there are passwords for admin+ admin and for the normal one, so make sure your connecting with the admin+ pass # AdminPlusPassword# Required: Yes (if AdminPlus == 1) # Purpose: Defines the password that will be required by the MTA Remote Admin for Admin+ Connections to your Server # Notes: # Password's are NOT sent encrypted in this version of the Client / Server.

Outback Posted October 8, 2004 Posted October 8, 2004 jacoB, I'd put money that your DSL modem has a built-in Router/Firewall. If your PC is saying it has an IP that's different than your Internet IP, so there's definitely something between there. Using AOL software has absolutely nothing to do with your problem.
:cMc:jacoB Posted October 10, 2004 Author Posted October 10, 2004 Ok.. while playing a game on GameSpy, a message interrupted my COMMAND AND CONQUER: RENEGADE game. it basically said: Your internal ip is different from your external ip. This can cause not being able to host servers. ^^ wtf do i do about this? http://www.crazymoddingcrew.com
eAi Posted October 10, 2004 Posted October 10, 2004 Go to http://www.whatismyip.com and see what it says your IP address is. Then go to command prompt and type "ipconfig". If the two IP addresses don't match, you clearly have a router or proxy at some point between you and the big wide web. As was mentioned previously AOL proxy most of their connections, so it could be that, alternatively it could be in your modem... Maybe phoning AOL and asking them might help, though I doubt they'll be too keen on your hosting servers (might even be against the T&C). Your current IP (the last one you posted with), resolves to MBO Video (whatever that is). eAi
:cMc:jacoB Posted October 10, 2004 Author Posted October 10, 2004 yes, they are COMPLETELY different. what you all dont realize is.. AOL IS MY THIRD PARTY ISP. aol is not even in my startup. how in the hell can they assign me if i dont load their program, letalone connect to it? i think i have some kind of hidden router in my modem. if i do, what do i do to fix my server problem? thanks http://www.crazymoddingcrew.com
Outback Posted October 10, 2004 Posted October 10, 2004 What is your Computer's LAN IP? What make/model is your modem? Your best bet is to read the manual.
:cMc:jacoB Posted October 12, 2004 Author Posted October 12, 2004 read it 5000 times.. I've noticed MTAServer isn't the only thing having connectivity issues.. I've had problems with a few other games and p2p file sharers. could this be because i have winxp sp2? http://www.crazymoddingcrew.com
Outback Posted October 13, 2004 Posted October 13, 2004 Doubtful, since you have different IPs. It's something else doing it. Most likely a router built-in to your modem.
:cMc:jacoB Posted October 22, 2004 Author Posted October 22, 2004 I have given up on this. my ip INCOMING and ip OUTGOING are totally different and i dont even have a router and i have all firewall disabled and people still cant connect. i can somehow create servers on other games (ie halo) but not mta. http://www.crazymoddingcrew.com
[TF]JoStud Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 With my network (I'm behind a router) I had to configure my DSL modem to forward the ports I specified to my router, which then in turn forwarded it to my server machine. You may have to set your DSL modem to forward ports accordingly... What kind of modem is it?

You may have to set your DSL modem to forward ports accordingly... What kind of modem is it? My DSL modem doesnt have some kind of special port forwarding properties option in control panel or anything.. even if my modem DID have a built in router, I wouldn't know how to forward ports anyway.. only way i kno is a firewall, and thats the last thing i want right now btw my modem is a Westell.. http://www.crazymoddingcrew.com
Outback Posted October 25, 2004 Posted October 25, 2004 A modem having a LAN-accessible control panel usually means it DOES have a router/gateway built in. Anyway, Westell modem forum on BbReports
