Author Topic: Hosting - Again!  (Read 640 times)

     I've probably posted four of these such topics before, but by no means am I spamming. In fact, even though I've gotten some help from these topics, the solutions have either not worked or only worked for a small period of time. What I need is a solution to a problem I've had ever since version twenty - that of not being able to host a blockland server.
     I've figured out that the problem may not even be within blockland itself. What's been happening is that I've been trying to port forward, and the UDP simply wouldn't go through. This only happened to me for port 28000, blockland's port. I've set up a static IP address (192.168blahblah) so I could be sure that it wouldn't be changing around on me. I've been able to successfully do the forwarding for Minecraft and Garry's Mod, but just not blockland. This may not even be the problem. Any ideas?
 

Be sure to forward both TCP and UDP.

Also, restarting your router is always a good thing to try.

This has been attempted for quite awhile, restarting the router isn't a solution. I've forwarded TCP, but UDP simply doesn't show up after I supposedly forward it.

Bump. I know from experience that these topics only go downhill from page two.



But you need UDP, that's how we connect to each other!
If it just refuses to forward 28000, forward any other port, then when starting a game change the server port to the one you forwarded

It makes many much sense.

Thank you for solving a 1.5 year long problem with something I should have thought of.
