Author Topic: Cannot get server to work (portforwarding problem)  (Read 1082 times)

I am not on the computer that has the problem or network, but I'll edit this when I have the ports and router model available. I'll just say it's a Belkin.

I have set up ports for different games, Garry's Mod, Terraria, Minecraft, TF2, and CS:S (Garry's Mod ports have all of TF2 and CS:S's ports taken care of).

However, I have 2 problems: One with hosting, and one with the router itself.

I'll talk about the router first: It's really really buggy. When I tried adding a 6th port, it gave me a error. Tried changing it, still the same thing. When I exited and went back, it copied a entire port setting to EVERY EMPTY BOX THAT WASN'T 1-5. I deleted it, but that's really, really annoying. Why do I have this kind of buggy thing? However this was before a firmware update, so this may have changed.

And the hosting problem: I set up the ports, and tried hosting a CS:S SRCDS server with the setting -ip 192.168.2.7 in my shortcut. However, it errored out with "Couldn't allocate any server port" and exited. I tried Bukkit, tried joining, wouldn't connect to my public IP. Tried Terraria, and still nothing.

What am I doing wrong? I set the private IP's area to 192.168.2.7 in the router settings, and the port ranges were right, and I set all of them to TCP/UCP.

I will update this when I get back onto my network and get back to my house, as I am at someone else's house right now.


Bump, and also, I'm just going to update what I have here.

My model router is a F7D8302 Play N600 Wireless Dual-Band N Router.

Here are my ports:


And here's how I know my private IP is 192.168.2.7:

I'm not entirely sure how to help you, but I'm having port forwarding trouble too on my Verizon Jetpack Mi-fi Device.

I never had to do any port forwarding to host Blockland servers.
UPnP took care of the job.

Have you called up your service provider? They sometimes help.

You seem like a smart enough person, but there is a loving help board for a reason.

This isn't for Blockland, this is for just servers in general.

I'm not being a richard. I thought he was talking about a Blockland server, so I told him about the help board.

that's a huge lease/really funny

Your router setup looks exactly like mine, and I'm having the same exact issue. I have a    F7D5301 v1

Must be a router problem then.
