Server Help

[blue monday]

Ok, Pretty sure that everyting in the server.ini and subbill.ini is ok. I have had a server owner look at it and ran Cyan~Fires's Ini Checker, its fine. I have passed the ports (Passed TCP180-181, TCP 4991-4992, and 8000-8001) and even tryed enabling DMZ on the router. It diddent work. My router is:

Model: (2Wire) HomePortal 1800HG
Hardware Version: 2700-000385-003
Software Version: 3.7.1

I'm thinking that its impossible to run a server with this router. It WILL connect to subbil and is on the list but when I download it on my list it red.

Heres the Server.ini and subbil.ini just to make sure. (Passwords exculded)

Usually it's supposed to be red for you, this doesn't mean it's also red for others, it might be green instead for them.

Add a custom zone, with IP = 127.0.0.1 and port 8000 (for your zone). This will allow you to connect to your local zone.

Your router might not be to blame, at all.

Also, are your passwords really that long?

Please be aware of the fact that having your computer in a DMZ can lead to security breaches. Forwarding only the required ports might be a safer and better solution. Keep your 'private' services private.

Shit, that worked, me feel dumb.

Oh, and yes.

That should be added into the README.

Well, now it seems that people cannot connect. I can connect even when my internet is not on. THIS is a router problem, right?

[Solo Ace]

Most likely it's a routing and/or firewall, yes. Disable the software firewall on your computer and make sure connections are being forwarded correctly.

Maybe, if you know how, use netcat to listen on ports and let something connect from outside to see if the routing is configured correctly.

Check if ports 8000 and 8001 (UDP) are forwarded to the correct LAN IP address (you can find this through Start -> Run -> Type "cmd" and hit Enter -> type "ipconfig").

If you're desperate, see if it works with DMZ.

Maybe... your ISP is blocking specific ports?

[blue monday]

Ok, what I was doing wrong was forwarding the port (8000) TCP. UDP works fine. Thank you much.

Also, Was it strange that DMZ did not work?

Again, again Is DMZ a big issue? My friend says that DMZ is just the Router's firewall and that your computers firewall is fine and DMZ is not a issue.

DMZ effectively removes (should remove in your case?) all extra protection provided by a router.
