why

iron owl Nov 25, 2023, 6:15 PM

#

mint brook why

Are you hosting from within the game?

mint brook Nov 25, 2023, 6:21 PM

#

hosting within cmd

#

public is true

#

i checked it

#

but still not working

iron owl Nov 25, 2023, 6:21 PM

#

mint brook hosting within cmd

On the same pc you're gaming on?

mint brook Nov 25, 2023, 6:21 PM

#

yeah

#

not a diff pc

iron owl Nov 25, 2023, 6:22 PM

#

mint brook yeah

Did you properly port forward on your router to your PC?

mint brook Nov 25, 2023, 6:22 PM

#

yeah i did all

#

i did everything correctly

#

but it doesnt work

iron owl Nov 25, 2023, 6:22 PM

#

mint brook yeah i did all

Are you positive? Because it not showing up is most often a port configuration issue

mint brook Nov 25, 2023, 6:24 PM

#

ill maybe retry, maybe i did something wrong

iron owl Nov 25, 2023, 6:25 PM

#

mint brook ill maybe retry, maybe i did something wrong

Is DHCP enabled on your router?

mint brook Nov 25, 2023, 6:25 PM

#

what is that

iron owl Nov 25, 2023, 6:26 PM

#

mint brook what is that

Google if your router + router model number supports DHCP
If it does, find the DHCP menu
In the DHCP menu, reserve the IP of your PC

mint brook Nov 25, 2023, 6:26 PM

#

ok

#

what if i dont have dhcp

#

what do i do then

iron owl Nov 25, 2023, 6:29 PM

#

mint brook what if i dont have dhcp

Then you double check that you have the ports forwarded correctly with the correct protocol

#

By default, 16261 and 16262

mint brook Nov 25, 2023, 6:30 PM

#

and if it does?

iron owl Nov 25, 2023, 6:30 PM

#

mint brook and if it does?

Then see if your firewall is preventing it by port forwarding on your pc firewall

mint brook Nov 25, 2023, 6:31 PM

#

i enabled access

iron owl Nov 25, 2023, 6:31 PM

#

mint brook i enabled access

Is the server running?

mint brook Nov 25, 2023, 6:32 PM

#

i had it enabled when i started the server the first time

#

i meant

iron owl Nov 25, 2023, 6:33 PM

#

mint brook i had it enabled when i started the server the first time

What is the server name?

#

The world name*

mint brook Nov 25, 2023, 6:34 PM

#

it was Last Stand Dedicated

#

let me restart it

#

LastStandDedicatedServer now

#

i thought the spaces were the problem

iron owl Nov 25, 2023, 6:36 PM

#

mint brook LastStandDedicatedServer now

And it fully starts?

#

You get all the way down to the start log where it has lines about discord?

mint brook Nov 25, 2023, 6:39 PM

#

its near

#

#

around here it starts

#

yeah

#

it should be on

iron owl Nov 25, 2023, 6:45 PM

#

mint brook

It doesnt show up in web

Im gonna dm you

#

Nevermind, best luck figuring it out

prisma dew Nov 25, 2023, 8:25 PM

#

Is anyone able to connect to it?

mint brook Nov 25, 2023, 9:40 PM

#

With IP, they should

#

i can connect to it with my IP

#

The only issue with that is that i got no vpn, soo i would want it to appear on the internet server browser instead

#

and it won't

#

I've tried for hours

prisma dew Nov 26, 2023, 11:07 AM

#

If people can connect to it, then it is in the server browser

#

Are you certain you used all the applicable filters when searching for it

mint brook Nov 26, 2023, 1:39 PM

#

i am very sure

#

i can add it with my own LAN ip (through favorites), but cannot find it on the browser

#

(the server is turned off in this case, but i can connect when it is on with my LAN IP only)

prisma dew Nov 26, 2023, 1:48 PM

#

What is the server name in that case

mint brook Nov 26, 2023, 1:50 PM

#

LastStandDedicatedServer ( i thought the spaces were the problem)

#

It was just Last Stand Dedicated (i created it for my group )

#

i can start it rn

prisma dew Nov 26, 2023, 1:53 PM

#

Sure

mint brook Nov 26, 2023, 2:05 PM

#

one second

#

i'll have to censor my lan ip

prisma dew Nov 26, 2023, 2:12 PM

#

Every person has the same LAN IP range

#

Mine is 192.168.0.5

#

You cannot do anything with it

mint brook Nov 26, 2023, 2:14 PM

#

i meant the long strip of numbers and letters, local ip *

prisma dew Nov 26, 2023, 2:16 PM

#

You mean your.. public IP?

#

That one is public, as it's name implies

#

I can see it anyway

mint brook Nov 26, 2023, 2:17 PM

#

no lower one

#

local

#

posting the video

prisma dew Nov 26, 2023, 2:17 PM

#

Right, local one does not need to be censored

mint brook Nov 26, 2023, 2:17 PM

#

might take a min or 2

prisma dew Nov 26, 2023, 2:17 PM

#

Everyone has the same local range

mint brook Nov 26, 2023, 2:17 PM

#

prisma dew Everyone has the same local range

oh soo i dont have to worry

#

about using it for my group

prisma dew Nov 26, 2023, 2:17 PM

#

Either way, I am not sure what you mean about a video

mint brook Nov 26, 2023, 2:17 PM

#

to join?

prisma dew Nov 26, 2023, 2:17 PM

#

You just need to start the server

mint brook Nov 26, 2023, 2:18 PM

#

oh for the video, it is just to prove that i can join through ip but cannot find it

#

on browser

#

prisma dew Nov 26, 2023, 2:21 PM

#

I can clearly see that you did not refresh the Internet tab and that you are not using the applicable filters either

#

You have all the filters disabled

#

Your server is a 32+ player server

mint brook Nov 26, 2023, 2:21 PM

#

i have to enable that too?

prisma dew Nov 26, 2023, 2:21 PM

#

Meaning you need to enable the Show Higher Player Count Servers filter

mint brook Nov 26, 2023, 2:21 PM

#

i didn't know

#

let me see again

#

the only one that shows is not mine

#

and yes, i did try using "show servers running different versions " just incase

prisma dew Nov 26, 2023, 2:26 PM

#

Did you not say that you changed the name to "LastStandDedicatedServer"

mint brook Nov 26, 2023, 2:26 PM

#

I tried that too

#

nothing showed

#

after

#

#

i refreshed

#

i made sure

#

i'll try one more time

#

new name

prisma dew Nov 26, 2023, 2:30 PM

#

I see, can your friends join then?

#

Since you never said if they ccan

#

You only say "they should"

mint brook Nov 26, 2023, 2:31 PM

#

if i can join, they can probably too with the local ip

#

i was a bit scared to test it

prisma dew Nov 26, 2023, 2:31 PM

#

That is not how it works, no

#

Unless, your friends share the same network as you?

#

Are they roommates?

mint brook Nov 26, 2023, 2:31 PM

#

no

prisma dew Nov 26, 2023, 2:32 PM

#

Local IP = Local Network = Your house

mint brook Nov 26, 2023, 2:32 PM

#

OH

prisma dew Nov 26, 2023, 2:32 PM

#

Public IP = Everything else

mint brook Nov 26, 2023, 2:32 PM

#

i didn't realise

#

oh yeah we tried public ip

#

it didnt work

#

do we have to change it

#

for it to be unique

prisma dew Nov 26, 2023, 2:32 PM

#

That is your main problem then

#

Did you port forward the necessary ports?

mint brook Nov 26, 2023, 2:32 PM

#

i did

prisma dew Nov 26, 2023, 2:32 PM

#

Both in your firewall and router?

mint brook Nov 26, 2023, 2:32 PM

#

i followed a tutorial

prisma dew Nov 26, 2023, 2:32 PM

#

16261 and 16262, both UDP protocol

mint brook Nov 26, 2023, 2:32 PM

#

i did the router

#

let me check my firewall

#

the tutorial didn't say anything about the firewall

#

soo i just assumed it was the router only

#

i created the "new rule" for the forwarding

#

and set it to what you've said

prisma dew Nov 26, 2023, 2:37 PM

#

The rule should be in the Inbound rules

mint brook Nov 26, 2023, 2:37 PM

#

yeah

#

i did it there

#

#

Forwarding is the rule

#

prisma dew Nov 26, 2023, 2:40 PM

#

It is generally recommended to have separate rules instead of ranges

#

Meaning 16261 as one rule 16262 as a second rule

#

On your router as well

mint brook Nov 26, 2023, 2:40 PM

#

yeah i didnt see anything about that when i made the forwarding on the router

#

ill make a new rule for it

#

on the firewall

#

#

#

should i restart the server now?

prisma dew Nov 26, 2023, 2:49 PM

#

Generally should not be necessary

#

Try connecting with your Public IP now

#

Local IP stays empty

mint brook Nov 26, 2023, 2:49 PM

#

okay

#

it showed like normal in the favorites tab

#

#

test is the one without

#

and upper is the one with

#

it's giving me errors for refreshing the internet tab

prisma dew Nov 26, 2023, 2:59 PM

#

You are not using your Public IP though

#

That is your local one

mint brook Nov 26, 2023, 3:00 PM

#

127.0.0.1 is the server ip

#

local ip is empty

prisma dew Nov 26, 2023, 3:02 PM

#

I know, 127.0.0.1 is not a public IP

That is your public one

mint brook Nov 26, 2023, 3:05 PM

#

i see

#

yeah it doesnt work with public

#

it is either me being dumb or idk

#

i've kinda lost it at this point

prisma dew Nov 26, 2023, 3:23 PM

#

If it does not work with public, it means the ports are not open

#

Check if you have a double NAT:

mint brook Nov 26, 2023, 4:25 PM

#

UPnP was disabled

#

that was the problem i think

#

idk

#

nvm

#

i didn't find LAN

prisma dew Nov 26, 2023, 5:50 PM

#

What do you mean by LAN

mint brook Nov 26, 2023, 6:26 PM

#

the article stated that in there

#

i was reading it

prisma dew Nov 26, 2023, 9:55 PM

#

Skip to just finding out the double nat via CMD

mint brook Nov 27, 2023, 2:13 PM

#

only one ip came and rest were "request timeouts"

#

and one dns.google

#

seems like i dont have double nat

prisma dew Nov 27, 2023, 2:50 PM

#

Request timeouts do not sound good.. there should be at least several IPs

#

What is the second IP there?

mint brook Nov 27, 2023, 3:42 PM

#

this was all

#

i can run another one]\

#

yeah still goes the same

prisma dew Nov 28, 2023, 9:46 AM

#

I have honestly not see this one yet

#

Are you running any sort of VPN perhaps? Or do you have two routers in your home?

#

Alternatively, do you have any sort of extra security in your router?

#

Since the main issue now is that something is blocking access to your PC, because ther server itself is running fine

#

So that is no longer an issue, the issue now is that the ports are blocked either by your firewall, your router, your router firewall, your router security settings or even your internet service provider

#

So we have to go through each of those

mint brook Nov 28, 2023, 11:16 AM

#

prisma dew Are you running any sort of VPN perhaps? Or do you have two routers in your home...

Nope

#

I have no vpn or extra security
