Hosting server will not let anyone join PLEASE HELP!
(1/4) > >>
Sheldetin:
I am not a newbie to Blockland, confirming that I have been a registered player since 2011. I am aware that I have a problem creating servers. A while back, I created a server to invite my friends to, you know, a hangout server. Then the problem occurred. All of those friends trying to join my server said that "It won't let me join, all it says is Sending Punch Packets"
I knew how to fix that problem, it was a problem with the user's wifi. When I joined a game and it said "Sending Punch Packets" I would restart my router for 30 seconds.

But it's very unlikely for 6 different people to have wifi issues at the same time.

A few days later, I hosted a Dedicated server. I attempted to join the server, until the evil message "Sending Punch Packets" appeared. I tried reseting my router, tried unplugging my ethernet cable, and tried restarting my computer. I even checked to see if Blockland was firewalled, but it was allowed through all of my security software.

I am completely sure that this problem has nothing to do with my router. I bought a new computer after my old one crashed. I was able to host servers 24/7 a while ago. Please help, because I really want to be able to host my own servers again!

Thanks.

Is uPnP enabled in the Options menu on the game?

ALSO, "Disable upnp" is not checked. If there's a guide on ANYTHING, please make it simple,
as I am terrible with understanding this network stuff. My router is an embarq.
