Server hosting on a router

[Geordiehc]

I've previously set up a few servers on dedicated servers and test servers on my own computer but i've tried to set a home hosted server up now and the IP setup that i've used before don't work the same with a router. I know everything else is fine because i've had it running as a test server on 127.0.0.1 IP's for months now so im 99.9% sure its a conflict witht he live IP's. Has any1 got a list of what IP's go where for a router or could even perhaps tell me. Saying change all to net ip or w/e isnt gonna help much coz i know some still have to be 127.0.0.1, cheers in advance

dunno what thats about lol maybe i didnt explain properly or you didnt read properly
The regular IP setup as in the one thread you will ever need doesnt seem to work if you run through a router rather than just a straight to modem connection. If maybe that was a way of saying your ports might be not forwarded then no they are forwarded as i have been running a test server for a while.

Oh soz thought u was asking for a list of router guides :S

Only Ip's that need changing from 127.0.0.1 are
Account Database, SELECTGATEIP's
and 3.55Working\Mud3\mir3server\HolleyDBSvr\!serverinfo.txt

127.0.0.1,YOUR ROUTER IP:7200

This would be the setup for a non router server, i need the one for the router

Wouldnt you need your router ip and your net ip not localhost? Depending no whether there is more than one computer on a network?

 

[Geordiehc]

I got all that working and i can host to the public but i can't connect to it myself, someone has said about the DNS settings? can anyone explain please?

Easiest with $$: If you can't connect on LAN... Your router does not have loopback support. Get one that does.

Other ways will involve some config tweaks. On network settings, Or on mir server settings. Depends on your current config.

Wellt hats my router there, doesnt say anything about loopback so i guess it doesnt have it, is there a non expensive way i can go about it? Whats with this DNS settings etc?

 

[Kaori]

If you have a pretty static ip... you can try this...

[Kaori]

tracert/ping outside ip?

Nah i followed it exactly, my network was connected but not my internet

edit: what would i put in the DNS server bit, iv emailed Virgin but they ignorant and wont tell me

 

[Kaori]

DNS = your router address 192.168.0.1 or 1.1 or 2.1

 

[Geordiehc]

Hmm iv got it connecting to the internet so thats all working fine but now i cant connect at all on host comp or network with net IP and with lan ip it kicks off at char load screen.

 

[Kaori]

do some tests... without using client...

telnet netip 7010
telnet netip 7100
telnet netip 7200

if blank... it works... check gates to see if you are connected...

 

[Geordiehc]

telnet netip 7200?

Is that for cmd?

 

[Kaori]

of course it's for cmd.

I don't understand what your problem is.

I've tried everything that everyone has pointed out to you and I'm able to login to the server over the network and also over the internet.

The only thing that I have done, is have all my IP's set to 127.0.0.1 and 2 IP's setup with my DNS name for no-ip and its all working fine. No hitch with it at all.

Have you tried to use NO-IP at all???????
