Author Topic: Why cant people join my server?  (Read 5532 times)

It's not single player mode.

It's not that I dont have internet or else i couldnt post this.

Its not that i didnt port forward becuase i dont need to do that anymore.

It's not that people just dont join my server because i talked to people and they said they couldnt connect.

It might be that i dont know my internet type, i just clicked broadband.

It might be something i did when i re-installed blockland.

It might have been something to do with an add-on, but i only downloaded some rtb packs and fillcan, and tier tactical everything.

It might be a world wide conspiracy to purposely say that my server is unjoinable but that would be hard to do...

I'm seriously confused, it started after i re-installed blockland. I dont know what's up.

PLEASE HELP!

I think im screwed, its been an hour and nobodys posted...

I opened up 2 blocklands and tried to join my own server, it just says "send punch packet" like 10 times, thats it.

If you cant join your own server you'r firewall or antivirus is probably blocking it somehow.

Thats wierd though, avast hasnt done this before, only after i re-installed blockland, but ill look into it, and thank you for actualy giving me advice.

Since i started my server there has been 0 blocked items, but it has scanned 1008, so it didnt block anything or anybody, so i dont think this is the problem.

Its not that i didnt port forward becuase i dont need to do that anymore.

Can you confirm that you have UPnP enabled on your router? Can you also check that you have not disabled UPnP in Blockland's Network Settings.


nope, i dont have it  disabled in network settings and it is enabled on teh router

Some routers, mine for example, don't work with UPnP and Blockland. My suggestion is to forward the port and assign your computer a static IP address.

what i dont get is, it was working fine untill i re-installed blockland (Too many datablocks, didnt feel like deleting them 1 by 1) but ill try that...

It dont work still... I SPENT 3 DAYS MAKING A TDM AND NOW I CANT EVEN USE IT!!! AHHHH!!!

have you thought that MAYBE NOBODY WANTS TO JOIN YOUR SERVER?

I asked people to join on rtb and NOBODY could, but anyway, i figured out what it was, It was my router something was messed up, because im at a hotel right now and there router works fine on my server, people can join =D
wooot!

If you cant join your own server you'r firewall or antivirus is probably blocking it somehow.

Thx, it turned out this was the problem.
