Did you forward those ports correctly?

[JGAN]

when you say that you left the forwarding ports blank, what do you mean?

[arny]

I mean I want a server that doesnt use my internet, and I cant create the server because my comp wont let it connect can somebody make it for me? give me you email id and ill give you the details

I mean I want a server that doesnt use my internet

Wait, what? Do you mean you want a server that no-one else can connect to?
Well, then...

• you can safely ignore the error message and just do /lanconnect (in the client, of course)
  
• actually, you don't need a server at all

I've used the server.exe for multi-client tests on a single machine. No internet required. It's rather boring though.
You need to add -mlocalhost to the server's commandline extension, then you won't get that pesky "WARNING: Could not connect" message. Or... Maybe you get the message anyway, but it doesn't hurt you.

Ok im going to change my words... I need help.. what do I put for the server and the forwarding? and how do I connect the thing to the internet.. it keeps on saying Cannot connect

---

I know I put 25764 or something for the server port but what do I put for the forwarding and how do I connect it to the internet

[JGAN]

well connect to the internet, then forward your ports. use an ethernet cable or wireless to connect.

I am connected but the ac thing wont connect.. what I meant by the dont want it to use my internet thing was that I dont want to host it .. can I still make the server or should I give up?

[arny]

and how do I forward my ports? what do I put in? im sry im just a noob at this

[JGAN]

in your router, go to port forwarding and insert the ports

[SELECT ALL] Code:

28763 28764 udp tcp

have them forwarded to your computer. also, make sure that you have a static ip on your computer.

[Gibstick]

TCP is unnecessary, why does everyone include it? Just in case?
