Hello.

I've got a problem related to my server.
A long time ago I portforwarded and everything worked fine. But very often I'm experiencing a problem.
When I open my server, there are a few possible things:
- my server works for me (added in favourites list) and for other players too (usually after first server launch) *
If I close the server and I open again, other issues might appear:
- my server works for me, but no one other can see (tested with 6 other players) *
- my server works for me, but for some other works (1-2 see, 4-5 don't see)
- my server doesn't work for me and it doesn't for everyone *
- my server doesn't work for me, but it works for some other (not always everyone)
These effects are completely random, but these with ' * ' appear more often. I'm trying any way to fix this, usually I move my folder (that includes my scripts) to other locations. Sometimes I just open and close the server 10-30 times or I wait a few minutes.

I should have this fixed before 2nd August, because we (me and 29 other players) have an event in-game. There's a specifed time when it will be started, so I shouldn't be late. Of course, it must be hosted on my computer.

And one thing: I'm trying to don't change anything in server.cfg (I'm editing announce, hostname and maxplayers only).

And the question: How to fix this?

Thanks for any answers.

Bump.

Did you set a static IP in your router? Else every time you restart your PC you have a quite big chance you got a different 'internal' IP to which the port is forwarded to.

As jessejanssen said, Your IP don't seems to be stati. Get a static IP from your ISP and you won't get this. I hope

My IP is dynamic, but it changes only after router reset. I always have same IP while I'm launching 5, 10 or 50 times and I don't touch my modem at this time.

I usually launch once every 20-30 seconds with 5 seconds break, to ask other does it work or it doesn't.

Post server logs !

Go to cmd.exe, type "ipconfig", check the IP on the "IPv4" line, make sure that's the same as the IP you've forwarded it to in your router/modem. If you have a dynamic IP this isn't the same, you can change the dynamic/static IP setting yourself!

Best regards,

You would need your new IP everytime your connecting, since you say its not static.

Good point. I checked out and I found that my IPv4 was 192.168.1.4. It's changing all the time after every reset. But it wasn't working, because I portforwarded only to 192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.3. Not sure if 5, 6... also appear, but that might be a reason.

I hope I fixed that problem, so MUCH thanks for you. I didn't think before to check this.
