Server Error - Cheeseweasel - 10-12-2006
I went to whatismyipaddress.com or whatever, and I got the following IP address: 84.67.223.140. I put it into the source, opened my game (Legends of Escentia) and tried to connect. I still got my error message saying it couldn't connect to the internet. This is what my Visual Basic file (ModConstants) says in the Winsock Globals area:
Code:
' Winsock globals
Public Const GAME_IP = "84.67.223.140"
Public Const GAME_PORT = "7000"Is there a mistake in this? Have I done something wrong? If there's any other code you want me to post, just ask me. Please tell me if there's a mistake in this code.
BTW, I've opened 7000 in TCP under the name 'Escentia' in Windows Firewall. I've even tried with Windows Firewall off, but it still didn't work.
If there's a mistake, please tell me.
Thanks
Cheeseweasel

If your just testing the server out change it to 127.0.0.1

No, I'm looking to host my server from my computer all the time. Not just to test the server.

Probly you are on a shared network. To make sure, go to DOS in the server's computer and type "ipconfig /all"(w/ out quotes) and see it shows you the network IP or the LAN ones.

This is exactly what comes up. Please tell me if this is what should come up.
Thanks in advance

It seams to be right. I'm just not sure about the 255.255.255.255(I think it should be 255.255.255.0).
Maybe you are connected thru a router, then you need to port forward 7000. I can't help you anymore right now, I'm going to do a test in less than 2 hours and I still need to lunch. I'll try to help you today night. TTYL

look at the IP address in the picture, and the IP address you told it to use, change it and see if it works.
- Cheeseweasel - 10-12-2006
'Fraid it's not working.
Can any of you shed any light on what localhost is?
- Reece - 10-12-2006
localhost is 127.0.0.1
You need to port forward. google.co.uk > portforward
