re: [Help] setting up MU server + ROUTER +dynamic ip
you got dynamic ip? try using no-ip. then make a DNS
make 2 DNS.
1 for server ( make a short DNS) (long DNS will not work properly on serverfiles
example:
1 for main.exe ( make a long DNS)(short DNS will result like your problem. you will not see the server)
example:
Code:
12345678.servegame.com
then go to C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc folder
then edit your HOST with notepad
put your LAN IP of the SERVER then the NO-IP DNS
example:
Code:
# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.0.12 12.zapto.org
192.168.0.12 12345678.servegame.com
the after that edit the HOST of the other computer connected through LAN. then edit it same as the servers HOST. (note: the LAN IP you got to put is the SERVER'S LAN IP)
