Author Topic: Unjoinable hosting  (Read 599 times)

Lately I noticed that my friends can't connect to my ping when I am hosting servers. I opened up another block land on another computer, to find I can't connect to my own server. When I hosted a dedicated server, it was still unjoinable.

I used to host, and people could join, help me please!

Have you port-forwarded?
If not, follow these instructions and port-forward your computer so you can host a game.
Click here and then select your router make then model.

The reason you might not be able to host now is because you used to host via UPnP, which in my experience has been untrustworthy, randomly not finding my router.

Could also be that you have a dynamic IP, so to your router your identity might be 192.168.1.3 one day, and the next 192.168.1.12.
Causing the ports to not be forwarded to your computer.
If so, follow this instruction here to set up a static ip.

Hope this helps.
