Re: problem

Are you running your server on the same machine you're playing on, or does the server have it's own machine (physical or virtual)?

Re: problem

You need to check your zone and server configuration files. If you're running the server on the same machine you're using to play, you cannot have any services listening on IP 127.0.0.1. This is the loopback IP. It works for just you, because all connections going to 127.0.0.1 will loop back to yourself. In order for your server to be visible to all machines on the network (including friends via Hamachi) you need to enter the IP of your computer as the server IP.

Look in your 9data\serverinfo folder and you'll need to do this for the following files:

test_manage_rserverinfo.txt
test_serverinfo.txt

Follow the instructions you followed to configure these files, except replace the address "127.0.0.1" with your IP on the network. If you don't know your network IP, open a command prompt and type in "ipconfig"

I'm pretty sure this is what's stopping your friends from connecting to your server.

Firewall ? xD

 

[ThePenguin75]

not funny dude..and please dont write such comments..its all right

 

[Pagefault404]

It's a legitimate inquiry. You're running your server on the same machine you play from. You are able to connect but nobody else is. This is a network issue. Trouble is figuring out where the issue stems from. Your firewall is a logical conclusion. If you don't have a firewall, then that's fine. We don't know the nuances of your network.

Can you provide a screenshot of the following:

ipconfig showing your network IP
your 9data\Serverinfo\test_Manager_Serverinfo.txt file starting from "CJC SERVER INFO" and ending at ; Zone 4
your 9data\Serverinfo\test_ServerInfo.txt file starting from "CJC SERVER INFO" and ending at ; Zone 4

Screenshot your serverinfo folder.

No need to scorch the earth, Win7 should be fine.

[ThePenguin75]

why? do you want to do that?

According to your screenshot, your problem is that your server is listening for connections on 127.0.0.1

That is not a valid network IP.

127.0.0.1 is the loopback IP address. Any traffic directed to that IP will loop back to the source. The source being you. This is why YOU can connect to yourself but nobody else can see your server. If you tell them to use 127.0.0.1, they are trying to connect to themselves. You need to change all of those 127.0.0.1 entries to YOUR network IP. You can get your network IP from the ipconfig command in command prompt. Once you do that, your server will be visible to other players on your network via hamachi.
