Assistance in Server Setup

[Elmrok]

I was talked in to bringing back my old game. Of course I don't have the original source anymore, so I have been working on it. I am using MSE 1 for my source. We tried to get everyone logged in so we could begin mapping while I fixed the game up, and no one but myself can login to the game. I have changed the IP address to match my computers, and both the ports match. I have even tried to port forwarding through my router. I have att motorola modem, (the little gray one that you get by default) and a Belkin Enhanced Wireless Router 'N 150' Which I run 4 computers off of. I can provide more information if needed, I'll just need to knoiw where to look. Its been a few years and ISPs since I last did this.

Make sure the ip address used by the client is not the IP assigned by your router. My IP address for instance is 192.168.1.101, but this address is the same as local host or 127.0.0.1. To find which IP should be used in your game client, http://whatismyip.com/ should do the trick.



And if that's not your problem, then take this advice while port forwarding:

The fourth quadrant of your router-assigned IP address is the one that your router uses to distinguish each computer on the network. At the moment, my PC is 101.

When you're port forwarding, you have to specify which computer on the network needs to have the ports opened. I use Linksys, and mine looks like this:



Hope this helps resolve your problem.

Thank you Rian. It was my port forwarding that was the issue. I owe you one!
