Can`t open the ports

[TheGamerXD]

Hello ! So , my problem is that when i type "openports" it says that all the ports are closed, and i have no idea what to do to open them . I heve :

---> Forwarded them as following :

Server UPC : 22003

HTTP TPC : 22005

ASE UPC : 22126

---> Allowed the server trough firewall

And still get the same problem . Please if anyone can help , please do .

---> Forwarded them as following :

- How did you forward them, through your router's configuration page?

- Did you assign your server PC an static IP adress from mac or device profile, and/or linked the service/port profile to this static IP or device MAC? (the port mapping must be actively assigned to the PC you host the MTA server from)

- Does it also list port triggering or only ''forwarding'' ? If it does, did you also trigger the ports by filling those fields?

- What does https://nightly.multitheftauto.com/ports/ show if you run the server and enter its details? (provide an screenshot of the result)

---> Allowed the server trough firewall

There may be an configuration problem if you manually allowed it or added the MTA Server.exe as allowed.

Method to quickly find out if the issue is with Windows Firewall or not: Disable it temporarily and see if it works once you turn off Windows firewall completely. You can best do this by going Windows>run: services.msc and then stopping ''Windows Firewall'' service, and then starting it again once you're done testing. Or just turn off in firewall utility.

If it turns out to work, and so is related to Windows firewall, we know where to look for the solution.

Incase you meant another firewall package/software other than Windows firewall, temporarily also completely disable that security suite, or firewall component, (together with Windows firewall if it runs) of the security suite, then test ports and turn everything back on.

1.Yes , i forwarded them through my router`s conf. page,

2.I don`t really understand what you mean by that . If you mean that i set an ip to the server instead of leaving it on auto , no i did not do that

3.It only lists port forwarding

No . It was not need for me to add it manually , it added it automatically and i only "reseted " it by disabelying and reactivating it trough firewall . I am using the Windows integrated firewall .

Now ... Do i have to trigger them ? Becouse i have an another tab in the router`s config that says " port triggering "

You're contradicting yourself, but if you do have an port triggering page then yes, do it, by setting the same ports your server will use (22003 UDP, 22126 UDP, 22005 TCP) also on the triggering page, but also assign it to your PC's local IP adress/or MAC adress, because it needs to apply for your PC specificly. Find out your PC (you're using for MTA server) local IP by going to Network Center > Connections (connection properties) details > ''IPv4 adress'' or when your router's port triggering links with MAC adress, get it also from there under ''Physical adress'' then use one of these to add to port triggering.

First try having both Port forwarding and Triggering at the same time, if it doesn't work, disable forwarding and use only triggering. If the triggering page uses IP adress and not MAC for device assigning, then make sure you also assign a static local IP adress to your PC or else it may work one time and stops working when it renews.
