Tutorial For those who have problems with other people connecting:

If no one else can connect to your server, and you are behind a router, use this:

First of all, this is a pretty stupid mistake but it seems that a lot of people are looking over it:


Whenever you forward ports, you need to forward ports 3306, 29000 29100 and 29200, however you may have forgotten to put your computer's IP address in.


Start>Run>Cmd Type ipconfig, it should look like this:


NOTE: I am not currently behind a router, anyways, look at the address beside the circled option (IP Address): It should be 192.168.1.X if you are on a router.

Now, go to your router config (192.168.1.1 in browser) and go to where you forward ports, make sure you forwarded:

3306
29000
29100
29200

Finally, beside the ports there will be a 192.168.1.(input box)... remember that number from ipconfig I told you to find? Put the last part of it right there (for example, it could be 101 or 110). Also I hope you are smart enough to make sure all of them are enabled ^~

Lastly, that number may change depending on if you have more than 1-2 computors on your network and when you start them up, if you get the problem again just check the number again.

I hope this guide helps you and if not, I am sorry for wasting your time.

Nice, someone should consider to sticky this.

That happens when you use a dynamic ip, get a static one out of the dhcp range to solve it.
