Author Topic: server dead to certain people  (Read 1441 times)

on my new windows 7 laptop, many of my admins randomly can not get on my server anymore. also, once in a while, they randomly can! I was wondering if port forwarding would help, or if it is a problem with my computer and can not be fixed.

it would be nice if someone noticed this topic

I'm sorry but I have no input to give you on what would be causing this, but I want you to know that you're not alone. I too experience this when I try to connect to Ministry's servers. It seems I'm the only one that can't get in when we have a team build going on.

I can't believe this happens, perfectly good servers are sometimes unconnectable to me.

tthe worst part is that once and a while they can get on.

When I host a dedicated, it shows the ping as --- for me and yet people can still connect. I used to be able to host without that happening.

My only thought is that maybe you have port 28000 forwarded and you have a dynamic IP address, so sometimes the port is forwarded to you and sometimes it isn't. Try assigning yourself a static IP address and forwarding port 28000 to it.

This started to happen ever since port forwarded was not needed.

I've had this problem with people unable to join my server.
I restarted my computer and it worked.

I didn't port forward at all. the new update "supposedly" made port forwarding unnecessary. however, in close proximity to my laptop there is a PC which is port forwarded and works flawlessly. I could try to port forward my laptop.

I restarted Blockland, actually, just restarted the server, and it worked.

I don't get it. they cant get on, and then you restart your server, AND THEY CAN!
I don't get it at all.

Should I try port forwarding?
BUMP

You sound like you want them to stay away.

xD i saw that.

I mean it is random, which makes it all the more annoying. There seems to be a way to fix it, but It evades me.

So, noone knows why this happens or how to fix it?
