    I can connect but others can not

    Ok done my homework using Ascent but still can't seem to nail down the problem.

    I have server up and running good. I can connect to it via it's local ip address but not via the dyndns.com way. This also leads to people outside my network not being able to connect. I have the realms.conf file setup with the dyndns.com domain name they gave me, I have my host file setup exactly as the instructions say, i finally change the router to forward ALL ports to that box, but still can not connect via my dynamic dns (or my dynamic IP number).


    I have my buddies ping my ip and they get request timed out.....

    I have setup, in the pas,t several unreal tournament servers with no problems, a freelance server, and a web server. I don't have any of these setup any more so I can't test with them.

    The only that has changed since I had those servers running great is I have a new router.

    The not being able to ping my ip seems like a router issue. Anyone see/think of something i have not?

    Router port forwarding screen.

    I'm guessing its because you forwarded ALL of your ports =_=
