FAQs
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
Q: I started the server, but others can't connect.
|
|
A: Check the following things:
|
|
a.) The JA2 MP Executable file should not be blocked by your firewall
|
|
b.) The other players have my external IP and use them for joining.
|
|
You can get your external IP from here: http://www.whatismyip.com
|
|
c.) The Port (default: 60005) is forwarded on your router
|
|
|
|
Q: How do I forward my port on the router?
|
|
A: Take a look at the following website: http://portforward.com/
|
|
|
|
Q: How can I find out my external IP?
|
|
A: http://www.whatismyip.com
|
|
|
|
Q: How can I find out my internal IP?
|
|
A: Click "START" -> "RUN" -> cmd
|
|
Type "ipconfig /all" (Search for IP Address)
|
|
|
|
Q: Please give me a step by step example how you forwarded the port on your router.
|
|
A: I have a (wireless) Belkin router. The steps I did are the following:
|
|
a.) First I check my internal ip address (-> 192.168.2.2)
|
|
b.) I open the routers configuration page in the web browser. This is often your IP ending with a "1".
|
|
In my case this is "192.168.2.1". So I entered "http://192.168.2.1" in the browser and the configuration site opens
|
|
c.) I click on "Firewall" -> "Virtual Servers" and "Submit" the login page with a blank password.
|
|
d.) Now I see a table on the website where I can enter the IP addresses and ports for forwarding
|
|
e.) I enter the internal IP address (192.168.2.2) and the port (60005) and select the port forwaring for "UDP" and "TCP"
|
|
f.) Save the changes on the configuration site
|
|
g.) Start the JA2 1.13 MP Executable and host a game |
