[antiemo]

Ok my server works fine people can connect when i give them my IP to put into the launcher.
i wanted to make a new launcher so people woulden't need to keep changing the Ip in the launcher so i made one and for ip i put "myserver.no-ip.info"
they could not connect so i went back i tested out the launcher with my ip it connected fine its a no-ip problem i dont know how to make it work.
people can get to my website with the no ip adress just cant connect the server threw is

Are you on a router?

[Guerreiro]

hmm
make your your No Ip is set to the right IP (wan)

I have a wireless G broadband router
and the Ip is set to my wan ip

You shoud set the no-ip.org ip to your.. global ip and set the ports open needed for no-ip by default thats port 80 so use that for your website. if it dus display like so http://yourip:80 then you can setup a no-ip.org if it dusent you stil got some work to do :)

People can get on to my website fine its just when i put my NO-IP adress into the launcher it does not connect to server

don't put the http:// in the launcher config, if you've done it ;)

i dident

Try with your IP. If ppl cannot connect with your IP, so the no-ip adress will not work for sure. And if they can so you no-ip is not updated.

People can connect threw my Ip its just when i try it with my no ip they cant,

i dont like ur avatar. but..ill help :bad:

if u have a router go into UPnP Forwarding and forward port 80 to your static ip..easy

and u gotta tick the host adress in no-ip so that it has a cool emoticon like this one :matrix2:

static ip. as in my WAN ip

[nephro]

Wich option do you use for your NO-IP adress ? I know there is Port 80 redirect, URL redirect.... and I remember that those options make me angry when i set up my wow server ;)

[antiemo]

DNS Host (A)
DNS Host (Round Robin)
DNS Alias (CNAME)
Port 80 Redirect (this is the one im using)
Web Redirect

to use port forwarding proparly u need to give your computers a static ip...a static ip is a ip that does not change as long as you use a local DHCP...wan ip is external...meaning the ip visable to other people...static is the ip you use to sorta identify your computers idividualy on your network...and its what you forward a port to threw your router firewall...hope thats not too complicated kinda tryed to explain as much as i know...i only know what i need to know...and thats the minimum lol
