Author Topic: A hosters worst nightmare:PORTFOWARDING!Help me!  (Read 2925 times)

I may have to ask my dad to make Norton 360 have special set-up connection's w/ Blockland, is that the case?
Make a program as well as Traffic rule (set the 2800 port) on Norton. However if one person can join then that means it is working, you do have your player limit larger than something like 2 right? I don't know what else to tell you. Does someone join and immediately after they can't join or does it take a while? Try and get your friend who can't join normally first and then get your friend that can normally join after.

If you have a router, you need to.


I have a router and I can still host without port forwarding.

I'm confused.

The problem is OK, I figured out that my IPv4 Adress has been changing up one by one, I need to set up it up so it wont change and void any connections.

Your not suppose to forward to the router, that wouldnt make sense make sense, the game isn't being run on the Router. You need to get your internal IP, to do so type CMD in Windows bar or if you are on something older than vista or 7 then go to run and do CMD.exe. Then type "ipcofing" and look for something that says Internal IP address, that's what you put instead of the router. Next time make sure you are doing stuff right before you claim something just doesn't work and Badspots tutorial being "outdated" just because it doesn't work for you, because the tutorial does work.

Nothing to do with Internal IP.

(sorry for triple post)

You're being wrong, it isn't outdated, my bad, but you're wrong.
I need to foward the router because it's new and it's hooked up to the computer, when BL recives a connection to the host, the internet connection is troubled and doesn't know to which connection it should go, especially since I have hamachi.

Hamachi is your problem, disable that or something, and im not wrong, you don't port forward TO your router, it doesn't matter if its hooked up to the PC or not. There is no "trouble" in internet connection, you connect to your network/router and thats what it will use.

Don't you need to change it to like 28000-28032?

Because I think the amount of numbers between are the ports opened

28000-28000 its just one port (port 28000) which is why only one person can join.

An I right?

only 28000 is needed

1. Uninstall hamachi
2. You don't know what you talk about

You only need to forward one single UDP port per individual server. All players connect to the same port.

1. Uninstall hamachi

To add to this: Hamachi is known to interfere with hosting Blockland servers. In fact I think I even read somewhere about Badspot deliberately breaking certain features when using Hamachi.

Hamachi probably IS the problem, I'll need to disable the connection it's loving with or find out how to stop the IPv4 Adress for changing every few hours.

Lol sorry you all, I'm kinda slow topiced in connection in all of that and say stupid things sometimes.

Completely uninstall hamachi. I find very little need for it.

I didn't need to portfoward, I just needed to set a static IP.
Thanks for all your help.
