and do i have to use other IP because i use 2 pc's on a router

The port number you're letting Subgame run on is the same port you let subbill (the biller) run on.
It's impossible to have the two programs use the same port, so you'll need to put one of them on a different port.

Change the subbill port (or the subgame port, whatever you want).

Example for server.ini:

[Guest]

omg when i make those t ports different, then the zone cant even connect, solo i really think you have no idea what your doing

Actually I'm one of the few here who do know what they're doing.
How about you don't try to run a server until you know what you're doing, eh?

[Purge]

Hence, the use of this forums.

[wEaViL]

Solo is right... the ports cannot be the same or it wont work properly. Make your Misc ports something like 1000 2000 or 3000 and make your billing port 185. Theres no reason why it wouldn't connect if you do that as long as you set it up right. If it still dont show in the list then you most likely have a router or a firewall that is blocking the server from connecting to the dir server.

[Guest]

What network settings have to be manipulated to get around a firewall?

I have the same problem roughly, but I know my problem is likely with my firewall, and I'm working with my router to fix it.

I've turned DMZ Hosting on...it seams to work for other online games, but that didn't help me much. I also set port forwarding on a port range around the port I have chosen for Misc:Port on a UDP protocol.
Even still, the problem persists.

[wEaViL]

Then its probly a firewall.... if your running win 2000, xp, or 2003 then it has a firewall built in... you just have to look around and tell it to ignore connections on the 2 ports.... your server port and + 1

[newb]

Nice how you shown all your passwords to SysOp access. I will see you there later, KillaDude.

[Trenidor]

Okay so I have windows XP

I turned the windows firewall off for subbill and subgame2.

I also turned port forwarding on ports 8000 - 8100 with UDP Protocol.

And DMZ Hosting is turned on.

I still can't get a response from my server on my continuum client.

Is there anything else I should have turned on or off?

[Purge]

Port forward ports 8000-8001.

[Trenidor]

That doesn't change much...it just prevents me from getting hacked on ports 8002-8100.

Either way I changed it and still has issues.

I've checked and rechecked to make sure I have the right zone listed, but the listing still shows it as red, and when you hit play, it sits there waiting to connect only to come up with the message: "Failed to Connect to Server. Please Make sure the server is online (it should appear in yellow or green) and that you are connected to the internet. In other words, my server is being blocked somewhere along the line. Could there be another process running that would block me from hosting/connecting?

[Cyan~Fire]

Don't use the DMZ crap along with port forwarding.

[Guest]

ok solo, heres one for you....

whenever i try to play my zone theres a unknown packet type : 36, which were all familiar with. and look! is it a bird? is it a plane? no, its SOLO ACE! he tells me to make the subbill.ini port different then the server.ini [Billing] port. Thanks, solo! then he flies away. i change the subbill.ini port to a different port then the server.ini [billing] port. then whats this? now THE SERVER CANT EVEN CONNECT!!!!

[Solo Ace]

You, sir, are an idiot.

Insert that server of yours in your ass, maybe that'll help you bring your crappy attitude down.

Ignoring topic; I refuse to help morons like this one.

[Trenidor]

Umm...btw that wasn't me...I'm still stuck with a blocked server.

[Solo Ace]

@Trenidor (yeah, I know that's not you):

What DMZ-ing a computer does is the same as forwarding ALL ports with ALL protocols to it.
This is a gross way to fix a problem like this.

Firewalls and routers do not affect your local loopback. You should always be able to connect to Subgame through your local loopback (127.0.0.1), with or without firewall, with or without router.
Try adding a Custom zone in Continuum with 127.0.0.1 as IP address and the port number you chose (8000 I guess).
The name you give to it doesn't matter, call it "Local testzone" or something.

This entry should appear green / up as long as it's running.
If it doesn't show as up you can take the assume Subgame's settings are wrong.

If you can enter your zone you're ready for the next step: getting it "online".

This is for most people the hardest part since they don't know what kind of hardware they have and they don't know how to configure it.
In some cases people don't even have enough permissions to configure it correctly.

Some people here start telling you to forward ports on routers and disable firewalls to resolve the first problems of getting a zone up, which is wrong!
As I said before firewalls and routs do not affect your local loopback, you should be able to enter your server anytime on the computer the server runs on.

As you said you configured your router already and allowed Windows's integrated firewall so I think you don't have much to do anymore to allow public access to the server.
Make sure nothing blocks connections from your computer to the directory servers (which use port 4991 to receive connections).

Refresh your zone list and see if your zone is there. An attempt to enter that entry of your zone would probably fail but actually work for others.
Ask someone to try and enter it, if that works, congratulations.

[Trenidor]

Alright...that works, it shows up as green and online, but is there no way for me to enter the server from my computer?

[Trenidor]

Sorry for the double post...

I tried my local network IP and was able to get onto the Server just fine.

Thanks for the Help Solo
