Small question about my servers

[austin0331]

I have small question about my servers. Before, I used to have a lot of people go onto my server and have fun  . But now I DO have ALOT of add-ons than I used to, and now my servers never get any people, even if it's up for 2 hours. Maybe the problem is that I have alot of add-ons but I want to be sure before I remove most of them.

If you have port forwarded successfully before, your local ip may have changed recently.
You'll need to reconfigure the ip in the portforward page.

No no.

Do you have a router?
If you DO have a router, have you port forwarded to THAT laptop?

He just dumbed it down as much as he could for you. Take the time to read.

Sorry for Double post.

Your local IP changes every 1-2 months. You have to port forward again. It's not because of your add ons.
