1 of my friends cant log
Hello, I made a server to play with one of my friends. Im hosting it from my laptop and I can log from my computer using hamachi, but in the same way my friend gets an error: connection failed. The .bat file is ok. I dont know any other reasons this not to work.
AntiVirus Firewall / Windows Firewall
My laptop's Firewall is off. I told you that I can log from my computer, which is in the same way, as my friend should log.
Are the ports forwarded?Originally Posted by NikiV
You can kinda always login from your own PC to your localhost server if there are no errors and it starts up fine.
Have you put correct IP to the config and restarted services after that?
And you don't have any AntiVirus firewall?
You know - with hamachi you don't need to forward ports.

You do need to open the ports using Hamachi, I had the same issue. Cant remember which set of ports it was but none of my friends could connect to the server. Running Windows 7 64bit not sure if its different for any others.
Which is the difference between my computer and my friend's one? All IPs are correct. I checked the .bat 3 times and its ok. I just dont know what the problem. If the ports were the reason, how could I log on my computer? Can someone give me instructions to open the ports, please? I have forgotten some things for fiesta p-servers? I will be so thankful to the one who tell me how to do it.
PP: Im also using Win 7 64bit
What is AntiVirus Firewall?
The difference is that in your own computer any ports/firewall and such doesn't matter as this is your own computer and no need to block anything.
Your friends computer is in different subnet and due to security reasons all computers access to your computer is forbidden.
And only way that someone could connect to you is make a rule in firewall.
As for the IPs - I think it has been explained somewhere already, but in short, when your IPs are 192.168.x.x and Hamachi h.h.h.h then when your friend uses:
127.0.0.1 (Localhost) that directs back to your friends own computer.
192.168.x.x that may direct to some other computer in your friends LAN, depending on the setting.
And the only way to connect to you is to use Hamachi IP.
But for the connection to succeed you must open the ports in Firewall.
The "Antivirus Firewall" by reading the name, it is Firewall what is built to the Antivirus software... not all have it, but it matters if it has.
Maybe you should post the Config and the .bat to see what you really use as you may think it's correct but actually it may totally wrong.
If you don't want to publish your Hamachi IP just use replace function before copying it here. ( "h.h.h.h" -> "MyHamachiIP")
This is the text in the .bat:
Odin.exe -osk_server Hamachi IP -osk_token THE TOKEN CODE -osk_store http://www.google.com/
I don't know what can you see in the Config files, cuz there I must change only the IP and password.
I just cant see anything, which is stopping my friend playing. The only issue is the ports for now, but I dont know how to open them and must I do it on my host laptop?

You said it yourself "... I dont know how to open them ..."
I think you can Google how to open ports. ("How to open ports in win 7")
And yes you must do it in the Host computer.
Which ports do I need to open and does it take much time to do it? Are you sure that this is the issue that cause the problem? What if I try different program (I mean the same as Hamachi but different)? If yes, have you any suggestions?
Maybe Google it and see for yourself.
I would say it takes less time to do it rather than wait for the answer.
And yes you have to open them, otherwise it just won't work.
As for the different program, the biggest problem is that you don't understand how things work, it doesn't matter if you take other one, you still have to do some basic things.
The ports which must be opened are defined in the config.
Though not all of them have to be opened.
Next to where you set your IP in the config it has the port number, forwarded all of them.
I think its ports 9100-9125 that you need to open in your firewall
