Hosting a Server

[Tylale]

I tested this on a fresh install with my router reset and the firewall off. Still no luck. Help.

What's the problem?

People can't join. Probably should have said that.

Your internet connection is probably too slow. Try getting a friend to try joining your server and, if your friend does not succeed, ask your friend how high your server's ping is. If your server's ping is above 150, you should be getting a better internet connection, or just try port fowarding.

If all else fails, check if your uPnP is enabled.

The ping is ---.
Port forwarding does not seem to work with this router.
uPnP is enabled.

Your ping seems to be "out of order". You should try to get some technical help or try speeding up your internet by closing background programs that use the internet or try using some sort of antenna to expand your signal*.

Oh also:

I've ran servers on this computer before, with a slower internet connection. I got a new router a while back which forgeted everything over.

Was the previous router port-fowarded?

Yes but this was also before Badspot implemented uPnP. v9 or v10 I think.

Your router may be on Stealth Mode.

Stealth Mode is a setting on some routers that blocks ping. It usually turns on after a power failure, the router was reset, or the router crashed. If your ping on Blockland is "---", then it is most likely turned on.

Please provide instructions on how to disable Stealth Mode, because I might try it in my router, as well.

It is on your router's control page.

Access it by typing your default gateway into the adress bar on your internet browser, then navigating on the website to find an "advanced network settings" page (since every router website is different I can't tell you specific instructions) and locate a setting called "Stealth Mode" or "Cloak Mode" or something regarding Ping, and turn it off.

[Tylale]

I can't seem to find it on my page. My router also doesn't have very much support.
P-660HW-D1 v2 is my router if that helps.

Bump.
