Why Can't People Connect?
People can't connect to your server because you more than likely haven't changed the IP address's in the files. For example, 127.0.0.1 is self hosting and therefore only you will be able to connect whilst that is in the files. Most people leave it as that just to test the server.

How To I Let Other People Connect?
Here's What You Have To Do, Go To Each Of These Files And Check For '127.0.0.1'. Each Time You See '127.0.0.1' Replace It With YOUR IP Address. Hopefully doing that should work. (If you have a router etc i'm not to sure about them. This will just let people without routers etc (unless you know about them) connect.

How to let Other connect on a Router
Enter your files, and you need to edit these files With your GLOBAL IP Address.

X:\MirServer\Mir200\!runaddr.txt

Make it look like this:

Code:

[GLOBAL IP HERE]

X:\MirServer\Mir200\!servertable.txt

Code:

;';' means Comment
; Followings have to be arrayed by server no.
;server no.   connect-addr  port  connect-addr  port.
1       [GLOBAL IP HERE] 7200

X:\MirServer\Mud2\DBSrv200\!serverinfo.txt

Code:

127.0.0.1  [GLOBAL IP HERE] 7200

X:\MirServer\Mud2\Logsrv\!addrtable.txt

Code:

;No Space Allowed
;Server             Title               Remote              SelChr Public IP    RunGate Public IP:Gate
[ServerName]      Line1-7        127.0.0.1         [GLOBAL IP HERE]     [GLOBAL IP HERE]:7100

They are the only files you need to edit with your IP's, ALL other files should use 127.0.0.1. Also, if you use a ServerControl, load it with 127.0.0.1.

Forwarding ports, The ports you need to forward to be able to host a server on a router are, 7000, 7100, 7200, and 3000 if you want people to be able to use ServerSigStatus & Server Count. You need to forward these to the host pcs IP.

Replace 'X' Drive with the Drive you are using. (Normaly C: or D: )
Replace MirServer with your Files directory (Normaly MirServer or Mir2Serv)

No.

Global IP = This
The only IPS you need when your hosting through a router are your Global, and 127.0.0.1.

Cooleye · Aug 26, 2004

Good guide... I basically did it right its just that Ali3n did not say that all the ports had to be both UDP & TCP... Till now. -_-

Essential router guide with all your ip's set to 127.0.0.1 (what I use)
http://www.crystalserver.net/guides

In other words, all you have to do is...

1)set all ip's to 127.0.0.1
2)forward ports 7000 / 7100 / 7200 / 3000 to your host pc on the network.

SpiritGuardian · Nov 22, 2004

you no when you say disable all firewalls, does this include the firewall that protects your connection in network connections?
