Deprecated Darkstar fourms

Hey guys, Im setting up a new server on my home network and having some problems with other people trying to connect.

First, I can connect using the -hairpin to my internal ip address.

If i update the server's ip to my external ip address, noone can connect and i cant either.

I opened all the TCP ports and UDP ports that are needed. I cant seem to figure this out at all. It's a windows 7 pro pc.


Can post screenshots if needed.


Thanks,

Wadski

If you use --hairpin and you can connect then that's good. You probably won't be able to connect to your external IP from inside your network. That is what the --hairpin option is for.

If your friends who are connecting from their home can't connect to your external IP, then there is something wrong with your firewall configuration.

Also, make sure you have your external IP in the zone_settings database table column, not an internal or the default 127.0.0.1

where is the --hairpin applied please?
