Sunflower Posted October 10, 2006 Posted October 10, 2006 I'm there, my level of incompetence! With the help of the phone tech I assigned my machine a static IP and DNS, I assume that's the internal IP I'm directing 21000 towards? What's the internal port number mean? 21000 only? Quote
1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted October 10, 2006 1. DDz Quorum Posted October 10, 2006 21000 is your internal port, unless you configure your server to listen on an alternate port number. Your router does 'port translation' a handy feature if you need it, confusing otherwise. You could (but wouldn't actually want to) direct external requests for port 21000 to port 80 (http and have a web server with a default page telling them to go elsewhere and procreate). Quote
1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted October 11, 2006 1. DDz Quorum Posted October 11, 2006 Hi Clarke, Yep bridge it and rely on your software firewall. Not the ideal solution, but at least you are up and running and secure Quote
Sunflower Posted October 11, 2006 Author Posted October 11, 2006 Thank you sir. I think I'll put in a router, I want the NAT security but I'm going to play with this anyway... I can connect to a game, or at least I could before I messed with it, just couldn't host. Quote
Sunflower Posted October 12, 2006 Author Posted October 12, 2006 I seem to be able to host now. Quote
1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted October 12, 2006 1. DDz Quorum Posted October 12, 2006 Hmmm. At least you got a clean bill of health from shieldsup Quote
Tonar Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 I figured I would post here, thanks to roger last week I got set up for hosting and everything worked well. last night I bumped into Cold Gambler after our coops session and I offered to host a little. well needless to say he was not able to connect. I went and checked my port forwarding and it all seemed the same as it was. I had no Idea what to do next. so we just met up on HL. I guess my question is. is there a way to check this connecteion by yourself? without someone else Quote
Blairgowrie Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 The problem could be with Cold_Gambler if he couldn't connect to you. If I recall he just got a new router and it may be blocking him. The first thing you should do is have someone else try and connect to you. If you want to try later today when you get home I can try and connect to you. Quote
Tonar Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Holly Shit BG, YOUR ALIVE!!!!!!!!! :o we were worried about you last night when you were not around. you think that it could still be his end even though he could still connect to HL? Quote
Sunflower Posted October 27, 2006 Author Posted October 27, 2006 Yep, its quite possible that its his problem if he can connect through HL but not directly. Send me a message of some sort if you're working on it and I'll see if I can connect. I've got Shadow's TS open, in Ready Room. Quote

Just very tired yesterday afternoon perhaps because I got the bill for my backhoe repairs..........$3,800. It almost brought on another attack Quote
