Author Topic: I used to be able to host  (Read 1662 times)

Awhile back I used to be able to host, but now I can't, my server has no ping.
I recently had to go through some OS repairs with my computer so could that be it? But the thing that is really weird is when I host through that port on any other games, it makes it into a LAN server somehow!

Try pinging yourself

I forget the command but you can get to the prompt by searching your pc for cmd

Actually now that I think about I think the command is "ping 255.255.255.255"

i've noticed this happening with other people to recently
pinging doesn't fix it. but it may be a portforwarding issue?

Did you set a static IP?
Be sure to choose the same IP as the one you forwarded to.


The proper solution would be to port forward.

However, you can also fix UPnP problems like this by restarting your router (unplug, wait 10 seconds, plug back in) and your computer.
