#leok connection setup
1 messages ยท Page 1 of 1 (latest)
Okay next up, through cmd or Powershell, simply run this command: ipconfig. To open up command prompt you can type cmd into Windows search bar
Foundry will need to restart, but that's fine, we're stepping away from Foundry now
What we need is to connect to your router
And running IP config we're looking for the default gateway
usually it is 192.168.0.1 but we'll double check that is the case for you
I'm using a mac. What would be the equivalent for me?
terminal?
Cool yep so mac it's terminal, then it's ifconfig instead
So drop it in here, use backticks to format it for better readability
so
```
text here
```
ok, Ill have to send it in parts i think
its going over the character limit

just let me know if I made a mistake along the way here
Sod it we'll try the default, so just try following this and see where you land: http://192.168.0.1
Also be worth checking who your ISP is, (Internet Service Provider)
open it on a browser I assume
Ill double check it right now
Yep, in theory you should just be able to click it and it will open your default browser
Spectrum
I should have checked sooner, IIRC correctly, Spectrum requires you to download their mobile app to enable port forwarding
just gives me this endlessly loading screen
ok, ill download it right now
It's my bad, get rid of the s on https and it should load something
it's not encrypted so that's the difference
probably My Spectrum, right? the other one i see here is spectrum tv
it isnt :(.
gives me the same result
no worries, as I said, Spectrum has to be done through the app anyway: #install-and-connection message
If you have any issues following the steps above, come back and give us a shout. Once you have port forwarding set up, the easiest way to verify it's working is by grabbing a device that can connect off your wifi, e.g. phone using mobile data, then launch Foundry on your PC, and try to connect to it through the public IP that will be provided in the invite link inside Foundry.
But if you get stuck at any point, dw, we'll take a look and figure out each step along the way
it reset my router lol sorry for not answering
it's okay, I don't think port forwarding should have done, unless Spectrum just does weird stuff
it said it would
holy mac n cheese it worked lmao
hallelujah
is there anything I will have to do in the future to make sure it keeps open or is it one and done?
Only thing I would suggest doing if you haven't, is set an IP reservation in your router to make sure that your device IP doesn't change in your network
Other than that, just periodically check your invite links as, most ISPs use Dynamic IPs which means your public one is subject to change.
You can set up dynamic dns, but even I haven't fully sussed that one out myself
how does one go about doing that, my spectrum as well probably right?
So for reserved IP, yep it will be through the IP. What it is essentially is saying, this IP is reserved for this device, don't give it to anything else
If you just google How to reserve IP in Spectrum I'm sure you'll find what you need ๐
For me it looks like this:
They never are unless I don't want them to be ๐
