Author Topic: Why does port forwarding do nothing with my Gmod server? (Read 569 times)

Jorici · July 20, 2011, 04:29:24 PM

Alright, before anyone asks, I CAN host at my mother's house, I did the exact same thing to host a gmod server there as I did here, only one difference, I cannot at my dad's house. It's weird because I can host other games.

Things I can host:
-Minecraft
-SS13
-Swat 4

Things I cannot host:
-Source games (Tf2, gmod...)
-Blockland

I port forwarded properly, (port 27015), and I THINK I am using the right IP. Not sure, but when I type in ipconfig in the command console, the IPv4 address is under the "Wireless LAN adapter Wireless Network Connection 2" tab, and I do not know if that is correct or not. I don't know what I am doing wrong, or if I am doing anything wrong.

You THINK you're using the right IP or you ARE using the right IP?

90% of the time it doesn't work because people forwarded their ports but not to their correct IP, and 100% of the time statistics like these are made up.

Remember to set your static IP within the DHCP settings of your router or within the settings of your computer.

I don't think that will help, it's been on and off so many times. Hell, I'm in such a habit of turning it off sometimes I turn it off when I walk away for a glass of water, lol.
