Server problems...

[Pancho]

I've been playing Blockland maybe from three to five years, and with Blockland's latest update my server does not function.

However, I do not know if forwarding ports is still necessary at this point, and to add on to that, I cannot fully port my server because my computer will not allow the specific configuration of the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). I am running Windows 7 on a computer that can run Skyrim faster that the XBOX 360 by a long shot...

Does anyone have a solution to my problem or any suggestions? I would love to get my server back up and running just like in the good old days.

Thanks to anyone posting in the time ahead!

Port forwarding needs to be done/re-done.

But if it can't open those ports than you might need a router than can open those ports.

[Pancho]

Well, I've been able to host my server before on Windows Vista 2000 with the same router so I think it might be Windows 7 itself. I just don't know... I'll try 'refreshing' my port forward. Thanks.

[Pancho]

I've done the port forward but when I choose to exit, a pop-up show this and I'm following the Blockland port forward help page too...

"Warning- Multiple default gateways are intended to provide redundancy to a single network (such as intranet or the Internet). They will not function properly when the gateways are on two seprate, disjoint networks (such as on on your intranet and one on the Internet). Do you want to save this configuration?"

After, when I click 'Save', my Internet stops working. That's why I think it is Windows 7 acting up, because the system is holding me back, not the router or game and since I've been able to host a server on my Windows Vista 2000 computer way back when on the same router, all evidence seems to point at Windows 7...

Any suggestions?

Check if your router has the ability for a static IP, otherwise you'll have to change port forwarding settings every time your computer changes IP.

[Pancho]

I found a setting that says "Static Routes," should I add one? If so, what DO I add? There are no active routes in the category right now, so it's all blank.

[Kalphiter]

No, you'll just have to change the port forward's address every time your computer's address does.

[Pancho]

So the server IP address in the actual port forward menu? You know, where it asks you to type in the start and end port and its name. There? What do I change it to? Sorry if I'm asking too many basic questions. I'd rather look stupid and know than look smart and be stupid...

Thanks for the help by the way, I appreciate it.

Obtain your computer's IP address

Hit start, type in "cmd", then type "ipconfig" and repeat to us the "Default Gateway" field.

[Pancho]

It's blank.

Is that bad?

[Kalphiter]

It's blank.

Is that bad?

I'm sorry, I meant IPv4 Address

[Pancho]

For the "Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection"?

[Kalphiter]

Yes

[Pancho]

Okay, then here it is:

192.168.1.9

[Kalphiter]

Portforward:

Ports from and to: 28000 - 28000
Address: 192.168.1.9
Protocol: TCP + UDP, or if it doesn't give you both, then just UDP
