I think my server is broken.

[curiosblockland6]

well,i have realized nobody has EVER joined my server. NEVER AT ALL. i think i have tried evrything. i do not have cable or DSL. i think its wireless. one thing i might think is wrong is the internet conection type. like it says 12K modem and stuff like that the first time you play. so how do i fix my server? i have hosted all kinds of servers! dogfights,fort wars,camping,all the stuff. so please give me advice on how to fix my server! because i am Almost 100% sure that its my internet connection. it works,but nobody joins. so there is no point in hosting a server that does not have any people in it. i would really be very happy to see this pop up on the screen: legodude1234 has connected. also i have another reason why. when i quit my server and go to join another game,i can see my own server there. so i try to join it and it says: sending punch packet sending punch packet,sending punch packet,sending punch packet............

if you help,then  for you. and if it does not work, then  will eat your cookie.

This reminds me of a woman who claimed her mail had been stolen because she didn't receive any birthday cards.

wtf, you got everything in that wrong...

Also, if you really want to know that no one is joining your server, open a dedicated and if your server in on the list with some ping, then the server works, just no one is joining.

i do not have cable or DSL. i think its wireless.

Wireless is just a way that you connect to your router. You DO have either DSL or cable.

Hi, I'm Ethan and I'll be assisting you with your problems today.


We will start by making sure UPnP is enabled in your router page. Refer to your router booklet for information on how to access the router control panel. Once you are there, log into the control panel.

You will need a username and a password, which may be user set (by your father most likely) or they may be the default ones. If they are user set, ask your father for the 'router control panel login'. If they are still default, there is a 99% chance that the username is admin and the password is admin. If they are not, refer again to your router booklet for the default login details.

Once you are there, click on 'Settings' or 'Setup' or similar, then click on 'UPnP settings'. Click 'Enable' (to the fullest setting if more than 2) and then click 'Apply' or 'OK'.

Close your router page and try to host again. If the server works, problem solved. If not, try the method below.


Let's make sure any firewalls you have allow Blockland to accept both incoming and outgoing connections. The method will differ from firewall to firewall, but a general method is outlined below:

Open your firewall/internet security control center.
Click on 'Firewall' if not already selected.
Click on 'Exceptions' or 'Settings'.
Under a 'Programs' tab, there will be a list of programs that are allowed to make in/out connections.
Click 'New' or 'Add'.
Select 'Blockland.exe' as the program, and then fill out any other details. If asked, click 'Allow UPnP'.

Try to host again. If it works, all good. If you are still having trouble, there is another method you can do.


This is a sneaky little trick. Quite often, Windows Firewall still applies it's 'Blocked Programs' list even when it's turned off. Do the following:

Go to the computers control panel.
Click on 'Windows Firewall'.
On the Exceptions tab, click 'Add Port...' and enter the details:

Name: blockland
Port: 28000
TCP/UDP: TCP

Do it again, but this time click UDP, as below:

Name: blockland
Port: 28000
TCP/UDP: UDP

Click 'Add Program...' and then click on 'Blockland'. Click 'OK'.


Hopefully these methods work for you. Please post your results back.
