Post subject: Ip..

Ok, i'v just opened my ports to run my brothers test zone. I Got it in the zone list, but it is red. Im not really sure what to put in the server.ini

-------

Code: Show/Hide

Misc=ServerIp: <-- (what IP do i put here?)

-------
Do i put in my routers ip? (198.168.2.1..?) Or My Computers IP? (www.whatismyip.com..?)

Since im not really familiar with setting up zones using a router, can somebody please help me out. Yes, i'v read the router how-to, but i got stuck. Thanks.

And yes, i agree this is a noobie post.

Put your WAN IP (found on http://whatismyip.com indeed) in Misc:ServerIP.

It'll always be red on machines inside your LAN. Add a custom zone in Continuum with the computer's inside IP. But do get a friend to check to make sure that the zone works outside the router.

Okies I'll try it. Thanks.

edit: Ok, i added the custom zone.. i changed the zone description just to make sure i was doing it right, and it worked. But...now i cannot enter it. it has a ping of 0...

Or if you have Windows XP you can just goto Start:Run...: Type in "command": then in the DOS that comes up type "IPConfig" and it will give you your IP and some other info.

2.Who are you calling a idiot when your the one that didn't know that you can find it through your OS instead of going to some website?

When I call someone an idiot, I do it for a good reason.

In most cases, like in Solid's, ipconfig does not show the WAN IP address.

The ipconfig command displays the IP address of the internal NIC, which is on a LAN (behind a router or any other NAT device) not the WAN IP address.
Since the WAN (or also called "public" or "internet" IP address) is required in the ini setting, using ipconfig is useless.

Browsing to a website is easier and faster than actually typing that command.
And, the command is useless in this case.

Maybe you should learn before trying to smart someone out, blah-er, fucking troll.

Because if his router is running NAT, his OS has no clue what global IP address it has. So the information you gave is incorrect for most users to obtain their global IP address.

Also, don't use command. That runs in a DOS emulation. Use cmd instead. They are not equal.

Alot right that's anough I get it I was wrong but you could have said that in your idiot post and BTW I've had XP since it's been out and XP is my first OS on Windows anyways.

Solid_Fire - Wed Oct 26, 2005 4:48 pm
Post subject:

Isnt WinXP an OS On Windows? Um..yea....

Ok...So i got it to run on that little IP from ipconfig, but ya know...it has nothing from the server.ini, and what i mean by that is. It doesn't have a descprition of the zone (which is in server.ini), it doesnt have the zone's settings. (aka ship settings, etc etc) At the moment im really confused......

Just don't listen to blah-er, he has no idea what he's talking about.

In server.ini, put the IP address shown on http://whatismyip.com/ in Misc:ServerIP.
Do not run ipconfig for this.

As for what Dr Brain said about adding a custom zone...
This is just so that you can enter your own zone. You cannot use the entry people get from the directory servers in their zone list.
Just add a custom zone, pick a name you'd like for it.
Then as IP address pick "127.0.0.1" or the one ipconfig gave you.

And if you really don't know what IP address to pick from ipconfig, type (exactly) this in cmd window, and hit Enter:

Code: Show/Hide

for /f "delims=: tokens=2" %i in ('ipconfig ^| find "IP"') do @echo %i

But that shouldn't be necessary.

Here, how about this instead? Want to tell someone what to put in their ServerIP address? Fill it in with 216.73.216.40, aka [userip]

So basicly i just make a custom zone so that > i < can enter it, since i cannot enter the one that im hosting? arg..wouldnt that mean no one is in the custom zone? (sorry this is such a noobified thread..)

Solo Ace - Wed Oct 26, 2005 6:23 pm
Post subject:

The custom entry is for you to enter your zone.
Other people from the internet use what they see in their zone lis.

Both are pointed at the same zone, you just have to enter it differently, because you're the one hosting it.

Whoa, for a second there, I thought that MGB was posting my IP address, lol.

It's not nessacessary (sp) to have the Misc:IP configured, is it?

The only reason to use command is when the admins at your high school blocked the use of cmd and you're too lazy to deal entirely in batch files

And if they blocked everything on the start menu except Shutdown, Logoff, Documents, and Programs?

I've tried just about everything as a student to get into a DOS prompt, but still no luck.

Potential player --> [Zone list entry] --> Solid_Fire's zone <-- [Custom zone entry] <-- Solid_Fire

Yes, if you enter your custom entry, you will be in the same zone as the players will be in.

First, the router shouldn't matter <I run a zone behine a DSL 4-port + wireless router> and it runs fine. I also have MY ip addy i nthere, NOT my routers ip. the IP on the router, if you access it from somewhere else, will NOT give you the computer you are looking for. the computers IP will....and the funny thing is, its the IP from www.whatismyip.com ^_^ I may have given him some wrong info with the localhost or 127.0.0.1 thingeh....pleh I dunno

What the ...?
Default, why are you posting all those links to irrelevant websites?

The problem is that Solid_Fire cannot enter his zone.

Solid_Fire, I answered your question about the custom entry in your zone list.
It is the same zone, you just enter it differently.

Did you add the custom entry like I told you to do? (127.0.0.1 as IP address and the right port number)
Did you try the custom entry? (try to enter the zone, does the black Subgame console window show anything?)
Does it work? Did you get into the zone?

Then, finally...

Do other people from the internet see the entry of your zone in their list?
Can they enter it?

Can't you just try some things without waiting a day for it or without having to ask about it?

You two go ahead and ignore my advice, maybe you'll actually listen next time.
