Hello, I just switched my desktop form and eth0 connection to a wireless connection..Now I can't run my ac servers.Before It worked fine but now when I run the servers I come up with
"
WARNING: master server registration failed: failed pinging server
"
Is there anything I can do besides switching back to wired?

Basically any problem you'll run into now will easily be blamed on wireless. Ethernet is just leaps and bounds better than wireless for server hosting.

Wireless is useless for hosting servers. You could use a VPS, though. Of course, if you're willing to pay for it.

If you're using a router, you probably have a different IP address on wireless, therefore your AC server ports will have to be forwarded to this new IP. However, the advice above is correct; a server running over wireless could be frustrating to play on.

you probably forwarded your ports for the IP 192.168.0.21 but the wireless connection has got 192.168.0.22; just change it and it´ll be fine ...

* Ronald_Reagan does not want to know how Arke knows the IP numbers...
I run servers on wireless once and awhile, they aren't horrible, but please try to run them on a wired connection.
