Router - annoying aint they

[sulma]

I know you have had many ppl asking why they cant play their mir server through a router, but i have been having an ongoing problem which i cant get my head round.

• I have got a router (BT Voyager 2100 Wireless ADSL)
• Forward Ports 7000 - 7200
• I have followed everything i have read on these forum including here
• My IP is 81.132.0.178 with my network ip of 192.168.1.3

As you can see in the image attatched, i cannot get the server to open up.

Any ideas?

Basicaly make all your ips to 127.0.0.1 then change the following to your ip from www.whatismyip.com okay?



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:

 [GLOBAL IP HERE]

X:\MirServer\Mir200\!servertable.txt

 ;';' 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

 127.0.0.1 [GLOBAL IP HERE] 7200

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

 ;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.

Ive been on that.

If i started my server with the server control and set it to 127.0.0.1, wouldnt it seat all the ip's to 127.0.0.1?

looked at all the ideas put foreward but have you tried setting the DMZ on the router. go to advanced properties on router and set the DMZ to that of the LAN ip of the machine hosting the server. then try to run server, not saying this is your problem but it sounds like your router not letting ppl access your server ip.
