Making server public with Dynamic IP behind NAT (router) (hosted on 2 machines).
So i make i simply tutorial for noobs how make your server hosted on 2 machines public if you have dynamic IP address and your machines are behind NAT.
1. Configuring your router.
In this step we need to setup first ddns (Dynamic Domain Name Server) on our router. Most of Cisco, Linksys by Cisco routers support by default ddns service from dyndns.org or tzo.com.
In tutorial i use Linksys WAG200G ADSL Home Gateway router.
First we need to login into router administration panel.
For this open a web browser and type there your router IP address. In Linksys WAG200G by default (like in most of routers): 192.168.1.1
1. Here you put your dyndns.org username.
2. Here you put your dyndns.org password.
3. Here you put your domain name what you created in dyndns.org, example: myserver.dyndns.org
4. Here will be displayed your isp dynamic IP
Q & A:
Q: Where i can get my dyndns free account?
A: You can register your free dyndns.org account at this link
Q: How much it cost?
A: DynDNS is free in basic option and cost 0 until you decide to use DynDNS Pro - it is paid service.
Next step is setting up port forwarding in your router.
1. Here give a name your application for what you want redirect port.
2. Here put number of port which you want to redirect.
3. Here put number of port to which you want redirect destination port.
4. Put here ip adress of machine to where you want forward all packets sent on destination port.
Make check on enable redirection.
Example: You have installed Apache Server on your pc and your Apache using port 80 by default (you can also configure Apache to work with another port).
http service using port 80.
So you can put in your config:
Application - http
External port - 80
Internal port - 80 (or any another what your Apache Server or IIS using)
IP address - here you put your machine local ip address where you have installed Apache Server or IIS, example 192.168.1.100
So same for game client connection to server:
Application - Game Client
External port - 15779
Internal port - 15779
IP address - here you put your 1st machine local ip addresss, example 192.168.1.100
And now your server is accesable by all without hamachi or vpn.
You need also have opened all needed ports between 2 machines but this u set in each machine.
Comments:
You can meet also another private networks addressing:
10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255
Your private network in home between hosts should work correctly if you want to make your server public.
The best is when your router give static ip to hosts inside your private network - related to MAC address of host - i mean if your ip doesnt change at evry shutting down ur pc and so.
Make sure you not gave to your hosts network base IP or broadcast IP address because your network not will work correctly.
2. Configuring Certification and server.cfg
So next step is correct configuration of Certification and server.cfg
First Certification:
You need to edit your srNodeType.ini:
Now setup of your server.cfg
3. Making your game launcher able to connect your server.
So we need PK2Extractor, PK2Editor, DivisionManager.
We need to open our Media.pk2 in PK2Extractor and extract from it DIVISIONINFO.txt file.
After we open extracted DIVISIONINFO.txt with DivisionManager and we delete all existing divisions. Than we press on Add new division. You can name it however you want, example DIV01. Than we click with mouse once on this division and we press ADD SERVER - we put there our domain created by us in dyndns.org example: myserver.dyndns.org
You save your DIVISIONINFO.txt and upload it back into your Media.pk2 by PK2Editor.
Your client is now configured to connect with your game server without using hamachi!
