Others are supposed to check the master server logs now.

I tried anyway, but didn't find anything. Custom connect to the default port was a black hole.

My master's log doesn't show any server with that IP registering itself, only regular client logins, the last one being

Code: Select all

[2007/02/26 22:10:15] [1] Received login from 200.88.173.182:16069 via socket *.*.*.*:4533.

arent i suppose to open a port or something like that

Hosting a game automatically opens the port. Your firewalls should have popped up a question whether you want to allow it, and you should have answered "yes" to that. Since you are connected to the internet directly (not over a router), nothing else should be required.

I can't custom connect to that IP either. My master log also shows you logging in, but apparently it only receives the login package, and nothing else. That's partly good news

It means that you can send packages just fine, and the receiving is the problem.

So back to the firewalls

Can you find the configuration pages for your firewalls regarding incoming packets and post screenshots of them?

I'd like to note that despite the progress this test gave us, a reinstallation of Windows will get you to play Tron faster again than continued tests and debugging, and there still is the problem of potential stealthy worms.

Well im hosting a dedicated server now but i just cant seem to find it on my LAN weird i put my IP and Talk to master 1 in my settings_dedicated cfg file and saved it what can be the problemo

Since you can't find any server on the internet server list, it's not surprising you can't find your own. And with just a modem, chances are you don't have a LAN at all to browse. Or is there another PC in the network you haven't told us about? Try custom connecting to the IP
127.0.0.1
and port
4534
when your dedicated server is running.

It works! now what

by the way is there any problem with this ?

That's probably fine. It's just because master4 seems to be down…

^}LC}<Fear · Post by **^}LC}<Fear** » Tue Feb 27, 2007 1:05 am

hey how come it works when i put 127.0.0.1 to connect to my server but how come it doesnt when i want to connect to other servers?

You can know whether others can connect by communicating with them. It probably won't work without configuring some things and fixing this problem, but it might help to fix that problem.

127.0.0.1 is always the computer you're using.

What's that Norton icon doing in that last screenshot? Didn't you say you uninstalled it?
