Alright, I can get in, well sort of. Now I'm having another problem..
I had to change the IP addresses of the servers so that everyone else could connect.. and now everyone else can but I CAN'T.

You should be able to. You could perform a tracert to the WANIP and see if packets are getting through.
Use localhost?
I did, I used 127.0.0.1, localhost, 192.168.1.97... NONE of them work.Originally Posted by Paco44
Did you try a trace route? (tracert in windows)
Yes here's what I got:
Tracing route to xx [xx]
over a maximum of 30 hops:
1 <1 ms <1 ms <1 ms xx [xx]
Trace complete.

over a maximum of 30 hops:
1 <1 ms <1 ms <1 ms xx [xx]
Trace complete.
(Note that I censored my IPs, the top one is the the lanip the bottom is to my WANIP)
What's that mean if you would be so kind as to offer an explanation.
The way you have displayed it it's pretty messy but it seems both succeeded.
have you tried:
Trose.exe @TRIGGER_SOFT@ _server 127.0.0.1
what type of firewall are you using? is it software? if so allow your sever and your client to connect to each other.
There is no need to block out your lan ip, it's a non routable address, it's assigned for private networks (i.e. LAN) ;)
Your trace route tells you the hops you make to get from 1 place to another. You could tracert to google.com and see your route from your PC to google for example.
Your route shows a direct connection with no delay. You can get to whatever IP address you entered from your PC. (you'd see asterisks if not)
For your serverip, are you using a name (like a no-ip name) or an address? If you are using a name, you could add that name to your hosts file and map it to your loopback address (127.0.0.1).
example in file C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 myservername.no-ip.com
Sorry for not replying the last few days, but no I'm not I'm using my direct IP.
GOOD response would be appreciated.
These are great responses. You won't get any better than these.
Change your lansubnetmask to 192.168.1 and set your regular ips to your WAN ips and you should be able to connect.
Here's the deal:
Set every single IP to your WAN IP's. If you'd like, use a No-Ip IP. If you use one of these, go here:
Start>Run>C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc Then go to hosts>Open>Notepad
Now, this'll come in handy in the future. If you are trying to connect to the server from another PC(Example: I use my laptop to play, my desktop to host), then you'd enter this:
(LANIP; usually something like 192.168.0.1xx; I'll use mine as an example: 192.168.0.136) 192.168.0.136 yourroseservernoip.no-ip.info
Or whatever. That'll let you connect!
Now, if you're connecting from the server computer DIRECTLY, you must type 127.0.0.1 instead. By the way, as a quick tip, use an EXE launcher, and change the settings inside the lconfg file. Hope this helps!!

Wow, kind of harsh. GOOD information about your problem would be appreciated. GOOD luck.
No no no, that's not what I mean, I'm trying to avoid people who only give like a 2 word response with no useful information AT ALL *coughs* sorry if I offended the people who actually put in effort to try help me.
