Others can Connect but me not

Post by schaukoski »

I have this on my Servers.cfg:

GameServer
{
Name WarShard
IP 177.x0.xx8.xx0
Port 2593
}

my Internet IP.

My friend can log IN!! But i cant!!! after i type my account and select the server sends me a message:
The Client could not attach to the gamne server. It must have been take down.
please wait a few minutes and try again.

I tried use login with localhost, my external IP but nothing.;.

There can be a wide variety of reasons players cannot connect, but since its only just you id be looking at these things:

1. What Client are you trying to log in with? have you tried razor (the most popular client launcher)? http://www.runuo.com/razor/

2. Are you running this program as administrator? or in compatability mode?

3. Do you have a firewall blocking multiple connections? my firewall will ask me if i want a person connecting to my computer everytime someone tries, so if you are trying to connect are u saying yes? does the program your using to play have access to the internet through your firewall?

4. Does the actual pol server command prompt say you've connected? (it should form what you've said)

i hope some of this helps you because thats all i can think of off the top of my head :x

hmmmm have yout ried defining two ips in your servers.cfg?

eg.

Code: Select all

GameServer
{
	Name		Local server
	IP		127.0.0.1
	Port		2593
}

GameServer
{
           Name WarShard
           IP 177.x0.xx8.xx0
           Port 2593
}

Your Save Function in (most shards) will be found in your PKG root folder. But in saying that would depend on the Script base you are using:) . The basic distro or many of the other Script packages will have a save function and a command in your Txt commands (where your admin, gm, seer ect commands are) Generally from what I've seen it will save each Hour or what ever you define in the script its self. :P

Something similar to this

If you need anymore help ill try my best or others I'm sure will be able to point you in the right direction. ;)

Code: Select all

GameServer
{
	Name		Local server
	IP		localhost
	Port		2593
	IPMatch	localhost
}

GameServer
{
           Name WarShard
           IP 177.x0.xx8.xx0
           Port 2593
}
Added IPMatch to gundamwing's suggested config so it doesn't broadcast out to everyone.

I have a similar problem. I am behind a router and I use a dynamic DNS provider. Others can connect using the dynamic DNS address, ie. hopelives.servegame.com but I cannot. I can connect, however, using the internal (LAN) IP address of my server machine. I used to be able to connect using the dynamic DNS address but since we upgraded our router firmware to DDWRT I have to use the internal LAN IP address. So if you are behind a router you might try adding the following to your servers.cfg file:

Code: Select all

GameServer
{
    Name    My Server - LAN
    IP      --lan--
    Port    5003
}
Be sure to change the port number to the port number you use. Then just log-in with the IP your server machine is using on the LAN.

Check the port in servers.cfg and in pkg/accounts/config/uoclient.cfg and Razor's port.

I got this message when those three did not match
