Server connect to it self?

[phillykid215]

I have a server and i can connect to it when it's running on local host but when I make it my WAN IP I can't but my friend can connect, is there a way to let the server connect to it self?

I am not going to use Hamachi.

Use a loopback adapter.

How do I do this?

Use a loopback adapter.

I installed it but how do I use it now?
I tried just installing it and connecting but still nothing.

use a clean (127.0.0.1) IP localhost for yourself and distribute a client with your wanIP for your friends.

It didn't work, it kicked me back to the login screen.

Set localhost/debug to true in your ServerConstants.java file. At least I think the localhost boolean in Lithium based sources is the same as debug in Moople/LocalMS based sources. This lets you connect to the client yourself. You might want to make a check like how Simon in v88 did so that you can sign on to the public server when you use a certain account name/id.

EDIT: Ignore this, since you're using a localhost and not a redirector. I misread in the beginning.

There is no debug, here is the file

}

Do I set the lookback as the server IP or no? I tried both and still no dice.

You set the loopback as your wanip or 127.0.0.1. Either will work, since you just want it to allow you online while the server is public.

However, since you're using v83, which has a localhost, you don't even need to use loopback. All you had to do was use a localhost that's set to 127.0.0.1 to connect to your server.

I want my friend to be able to connect to it too though so It can't be 127.0.0.1, my friend lives on the other side of the country but if I set it as my wan he can connect but I can't

Your host ip should be your wanip in your source. Your friend should have a client with the wanip. You can use a client with 127.0.0.1 still, since you're on the same pc that the server is being hosted on.

I can start up maplestory and all but when I get to char selecting it kicks me off but he can get on, the server is having a hard time connecting to it self and I don't know how to fix this, I installed a loop back but it didn't work.

Hey guys, figured it out
