Are you giving your IP:PORTS to your friends correctly ?, and not the one which starts with 192.168 ?.. To check your IP : www.whatsmyip.org


Re: why cant they connect? - Lusty_UK - 05.09.2011

yeah im giving them the 192.168 ones, what should they type in?


Re: why cant they connect? - -CaRRoT - 05.09.2011

192.168.etc is your LOCAL ip , go on www.whatismyip.com and Check your IP then give it with your :PORT too

It should work, else you've got a problem with port forwarding.

heres the ports http://gyazo.com/9fce1a3118de538f9ea11fdb3cb7b5da


Re: why cant they connect? - Lusty_UK - 05.09.2011

i think it could be the ports cause i can connect fine, and it says retreiving info for my friends :/

Did you try connecting with YOUR ip, and not the ip that starts with 192.168 or 127.0 ?


Re: why cant they connect? - Lusty_UK - 05.09.2011

i can connect via 192.168 but i tried myip.com which is 81.108.17.20:7777 and it still didnt work, if anyone could teamviewer my comp and help me get it sorted id be gratefully appreciated!"
