[help] Port Forwarding for WAN using Beastie's 136 VMWare

[Squally425]

Hello everyone,

I've just set up Beastie's Version 136 VMWare server.
It works really well locally, but I can't seem to get friends outside of my local area network to connect.

I'm currently forwarding port 29000 to 192.168.0.51.
But it doesn't seem to find it when I put my WAN IP in the server list.

It simply won't connect.
Only the local one works.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Squally425

Can u tell me plz your configs?

ps. put ip in port forwarding as in result of command "ifconfig -a|less"

[Squally425]

Within VMWare, ipconfig -a returns this:


192.168.0.51.
My router's ip address is 192.168.0.1
And the computer running VMWare is 192.168.0.101

I'm currently forwarding 29000 to 192.168.0.51.
Still experiencing problems though.

and what adapter did u connected virtual networks to?

[Squally425]

Its Bridged at the moment.
Should I be using NAT?

[Squally425]

Hmm, I can't get NAT to work either.
With Bridged, it simply won't forward to 192.168.0.51 (IP of server).
With NAT, I configured router to forward 29000 to my host IP (this computer), and in VMWare Workstation I configured port forwarding of 29000 to 192.168.0.51's 29000.

No can do either. I'm out of ideas.
