Setting up my server to be connectable

[gr33nd3v1l]

I know all about my server basically but my main problem is this:

I have a dynamic ip, and i use No-Ip DUC to set up my ip to genesis.servegame.com every time i connect.

While i had 8.0 server my friend was able to connect to my server, i was using edited Devland

Now i'm using TFS Mystic spirit with a custom 8.1 map (also pretty much edited, but nothing messed with the .exe) now nobody can connect to my server, all of them just get the connecting to server (which means they connect to my pc but either some firewall or something else is preventing them from getting the back information of a sucessfull login)

I am using ZoneAlarm Pro and i deactivated it few times which means thats not the problem.

I portforwarded my router by the way so that isnt the problem either.

Anyone got any ideas? I tried to be as informative as i could have =\

Just download a random server, and see if you get the same problem if youre hosting something else than mystic spirit. With that you will see if the problem is you/your internett connection or the server itself.

Its most likely connection problems, you have configurated your router wrong? Or forgot to add the ip in the config.lua? And even if you use a domain ip, i recomand using your original ip at the config.lua, also try to connect to your server with your domain ip, and without it. And see the changes. Doing this will make you able to get closer the problem. Atleast.

REP me if my answers and help come in handy

I wont be adding my ip in the config.lua because i would have to change it every time then xD

Im pretty sure my router is configured properly. I can host another server, but not mystic spirit. =(

That's the only option you have for now, to add your IP in config.lua. Perhaps we'll make it possible for the server to read computers global IP later and use that.

Just to get this right

my ip = 71.888.9.99 number thingy

global ip = genesis.servegame.com

No, genesis.servegame.com is a DNS, not a global IP.
Your local IP with a router would be something like 192.168.0.1 (127.0.0.1 without a router), your global IP is 71.888.9.99.

So then in fact i can put genesis.servegame in my config and it should work?

because thats what i put in there

No just put 71.888.9.99 in your config.lua than u sure it's working!

Just put 71.888.9.99 which is your global ip in your config.lua then genesis.servegame which is your DNS will redirect to the global ip
players will need that to login on your server. (71.888.9.99 can also be used to login)
