Yo again.

Ive been having to use single player to test most of my mods progress, i wanted to make a multiplayer server so my friend who is helping me can do combat testing, so i started FLServer.exe, I put a name, and description.

press ok, and it starts. i go in-game and i can find my server in the list, then i try to log into my server and it just hangs on the joining screen

the other strange thing is that it says i have the strangest IP address ever, i know that what is displayed isn't my IP address because ive seen my IP before..

Open in new window


i check on the desktop to see if anything is happening and the program looks like its trying to do something because the bar is fully red, (sounds like a bad thing really)

Open in new window


I go back ingame and see whats happening. and its says i cant login.

Open in new window

how can i join my server? or even make one that others can join :|

Disable IPV6 (should be done already if you play Disco)
Open Port 2302.

But really, here's a link on the IPV6 at least.

Though, I'm not gonna lie, I've done all this and I've still got the problem. I just keep refreshing, it's annoying, but it works.

I was looking at this website and found a relavent tutorial for opening port 2302.

http://www.best-home-networking-solut ... mputer-network-ports.html
(scroll down half way in the page)

but it says that you have to open your router software, and my router doesnt have any software to make it run.

well not any with an interface that you can interact with.

I have an old BT Voyager 1055 wireless router, all you get for it is a set of drivers which auto install, a usb stick to recieve the wireless signal from the router, and the router itself..

besides, you got to have the official 1.1 patch applied, otherwise you can only create dedicated servers.

I do have the patch applied.. though it doesnt say VER. 1.1 ingame, it still says 1.0

i have the 1.1 patch, Adoxa's JFLP/ Healing.dll / Moors.dll / Console.dll and a no cd .exe file because i cant find my disc..

Wow, hah.. it worked, you people amaze me more and more everytime i log in here..

the server skips everynow and then, I assume its when more npc's spawn because my pc net connection isnt really good enough to be host.

still.. thank you very much.

Sounds like you are running the server and a client on the same box. You will get sticky lag every now and again and the odd occasional unexplained crash doing that. Best to run the server on a dedicated box, but I know myself that it is not always possible

Ahhh... yes I was.. dont really have a choice as you say.

I dont have more than one pc, well, i could use my brothers, but he is on it all the time, i dont have a comp that can just run the server for the sole purpose of running the server.... yet
