Not the EFU server though. My server.

I'm trying to host a small dedicated server on my computer so I can play some modules with some friends. Though, when I try to host my game does not show up on Gamespy. My friends also cannot connect via direct connect, but I can connect to my server just fine.

I checked my firewall, and it has allowed NWN and the server full permission to the internet. My router has the following ports open for NWN as well:

5120 to 5300 (TCP/UDP) IP: 192.168.1.100 - Enabled 6500 to 6500 (TCP/UDP) IP: 192.168.1.100 - Enabled 27900 to 27900 (TCP/UDP) IP: 192.168.1.100 - Enabled 28900 to 28900 (TCP/UDP) IP: 192.168.1.100 - Enabled

The FAQ at Bioware's site says to open those ports.

I can't think of anything else to do to allow people to connect to my server. So does anyone here have any ideas?

Thanks!

I've been playing some campaigns with some friends lately, and it seems that of our little group, I'm the only one able to host a server. An answer to this would really be appreciated, as we've failed to figure it out for ourselves. :roll:

Residential routers, as much as they claim to allow port forwarding, are tricky creatures. Your best bet (if your router supports it) is to put your computer into the DMZ (De-militarized Zone) where the computer will not be protected by the routers NAT and firewall. Better then this, however, is to coerce your ISP into giving you a static IP address. Many ISP's provide static IP's to customers who ask, they just don't make it a widely known feature (Since they don't like throwing away money ;) )

My ISP gives me four static ip addresses ... Because they know what's good for them.

Hope this helps.

you have to change your computer IP in the router configuration. i changed it a few times before i was able to get it to work. i hate routers, but i love VOIP. figures.
