Need help in testing my connection?

[Blairgowrie]

Since reformatting my back up computer, I have been unable to connect to my main computer.

If anyone is around, could you please try and connect to bg etc :21000 and let me know if you can get in?

Mucho thanks.

[BBloke]

Worked fine here.

If you are trying to get from your backup PC to your main PC to play the game then remember to use your internal IP address not your hosting address (bg.servegame.org).

Yep, I got in without any problems too BG.

[Blairgowrie]

Thanks guys. At least I should be able to host coops tomorrow Saturday.

Could you see if you can connect to port 21020 now? I might have to use it as a back up dogfight server Sunday.

[BBloke]

Can't do 21020.

[Blairgowrie]

You are bang on right Chris. I just figured that out by myself

[OB1]

:21020 didn't work for me either.

[Blairgowrie]

It is working now ok after I reset port forwarding.

[BBloke]

Yep.

[OB1]

Yep, got in on :21020 too BG

Hey.. this thread echoes!! LOL

[Blairgowrie]

Thanks for your help as well OB. I can usually spend hours on this stuff only to find a 2 second fix.

Chris, I assume this is where I do something?

[BBloke]

Yep, thats it Jim.

[Blairgowrie]

What would be the required IP and MAC address be Chris?

[BBloke]

They would be as follows:

For Helens PC:

IP Address: 192.168.0.103

MAC Address: 00-1A-92-55-1D-09

For Jim1 PC

IP Address: 192.168.0.102

MAC Address: 00-16-17-6B-8B-21

For Jim2 PC

IP Address: 192.168.0.100

MAC Address: 00-0D-60-60-C1-2F

The MAC address is the hardware reference for the network card.

[Blairgowrie]

Thanks Chris. Static DHCP is now set. How did you know what the Mac addresses are?

[BBloke]

They were in the first image you posted.

[Blairgowrie]

Thanks Chris. I thought you were doing your telepathic thing again.
