About the "other" DarkStar official server...

[SilentReaper]

Oh don't get me wrong, here Atom0s. This is your playground. You guys are the 1337. I couldn't do this stuff you do even if the Wizard gave me a brain.

That is why I am here asking for help. I know it is something so simple I'm just to blind to see it myself. So any idea's?

@SilentReaper

I got in touch with Whasf directly so I have had my iseue solved. Good luck to you, and please make your own thread next time.

[SilentReaper]

Well I thought your's and my problem was the same. *ducks his head* Sorry man.

[CmdrUseless]

Sort of! I had problems connecting to the official server though, not something I hosted myself. That small detail actually makes it an entirely different issue I'm afraid - whereas I needed to get Whasf's attention about his server and you need someone's help to fix your own.

But forget about it - we're all friends here. Good luck!

[SilentReaper]

Well maybe what you did to get logged on might get them to log on to me, mayhaps?

I'm willing to try anything at this point.

I'm no expert on the subject (nor an amateur for that matter, heh) but let's see... It looks like your zoneIP isn't actually set to your WAN IP.

Basically, when you have a router your computer has an IP address that leads to the router (192.168.1.xxx). Using that IP would work on the PC tied to that IP, but none of the others as they all have their own individual router IPs. What you want to do is go to a website like WhatsMyIP.org and use the address listed there for your zoneIP instead of the router IP. This also means you want to connect to your server in Ashita using the IP listed on the site as well.

The problem with Whasf's server was that the zoneIPs were wrong - probably due to a dynamic IP address - and thus people got stuck on "Downloading data..." with no coordinates (as far as I know).

Best of luck, sir. I think that might solve your problem.

If everyone playing is on the LAN then you are better off using the LAN IP. Otherwise you will have to hairpin everyone in unless your router supports hairpinning on its own (98% don't because of how NAT routers work).
