I had everything working yesterday Locally and Externally. However, I had to unplug the router to move it and when i plugged it in my local machine's IP had changed from 109 to 113.

I made the changes where I thought they were needed and I can log in from my Local Machine, but no one else can connect to my server. Any suggestions? does it look like anything could be configured wrong?

(I'm only posting here again because I have spent 6 hours trying to figure this out. It has to be something with the LoginServer.properties, Server.properties, or the ipconfig.xml right?)

Please and thank you.

Most likely you have to reopen your ports. Somehow the lan ip change must have messed it up.

That was my initial guess too, so I went to my windows firewall and my ports 2106 and 7777 were still being forwarded.

then I went to my router and checked to see if the ports were still being forwarded, and they were.

So I'm still not sure of the cause of my problem

how did you get server id 1 to work? lol

I just went to the game server configuration and chose Bartz? Idk I guess, just did what I thought was right.

*bump*

External users still can't connect to my server after my machine change. Can someone tell me what places of the files I'd have to edit if my local machines IP changed?

You need ipconfig.xml in gameserver/config folder:

ipconfig.xml

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- Externalhost here (Internet IP) or Localhost IP for local test --> <gameserver address="87.67.199.74" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="ipconfig.xsd">     <!-- Localhost here -->     <define subnet="127.0.0.0/8" address="127.0.0.1" />     <!-- Internalhosts here (LANs IPs) -->     <define subnet="10.0.0.0/8" address="10.0.0.0" />     <define subnet="172.16.0.0/19" address="172.16.0.0" />     <define subnet="192.168.0.0/16" address="192.168.0.0" /> </gameserver> 

ipconfig.xsd

That did not resolve the issue

[HappyLDE]

You did set your external ip in the ipconfig.xml? Also test the reach of the ports 2106 and 7777 from here (when loginserver and gameserver are running):

[kutt]

I have my IP set in ipconfig.xml

I ran this site with login and game servers running for 2106 and 7777 but both say "closed".

My router and windows firewall both have portforwarding on for these 2 though.

[HappyLDE]

So there you have it, your ports are closed. I suppose windows 7? Try to turn off your firewall etc to see.

Thank you very much for this. Everything is working again, finally. You have been most helpful.

The solution was that when my IP address switched, the IPv6 didn't get updated...sooo yeah...
