Help!

[fernando03]

So, I just bought the game today so I could cruise around in a big map in some road cars with my brother, but when I try to join the server, it says " Can't connect to remote server".
I forwards the TCP and UDP port, and I also opened them in the firewall. I think it is the HTTP port that is causin this, but I can't open it in anyway. I really want to play this way and help would be very much appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

"Help!" is always the best topic for a thread.

Ok, as far as I understand your problem, you've setup a server on your client and you cant join, neither your brother. And I guess you've tried to join at the tab "Online," which is wrong. If you setup a server locally and wanna join it, use the tab "LAN."

If your brother is within the same local network, he also needs to join via "LAN"

And the HTTP-Port, usually 8081 ot 8084, needs to be opened and forwarded to your client too. I dont understand what you mean by "you cant open it in any way"?!

The server appeared on the LAN tab, I just couldn't join. My confusion was that the video I was watching, they had a TCP, UDP and HTTP choice on the ports, and I only had TCP and UDP, but I know what to do know, i hope. IF this new video doesn't solve it, I will came back to you!
Thanks for your answer!

so, I installed a program named "Port forward network utilities" and what that does is it checks if my ports are open, and it can itself open ports. But even after opening ports in the router settings and in the program, it says that both TCP and UDP are closed. Now I really need help

Are those ports just opened? You need to forward them correctly.

As an example, your local IP is 192.168.0.100. So you need to forward the required ports to this local IP, so every incoming connection at this ports gets forwarded to this local IP.

Those are for example my settings for AC within the green area:

Every TCP/UDP-connection arriving at my router within the portrange of 8081 to 8084 and 9600 to 9604 gets redirected to the client 192.168.0.151 within my local network, which runs the server(s).

I have no clue which videos you've watched, so I cant tell what went wrong. Also this programm named "Port forward network utilities" imho wont help. Without checking it out, it can basicly just open the ports within your clients firewall, and check if those ports are open. Maybe it is also able to route ports from one client to another. But for sure it wont be able to change the settings of your modem/router.

Mine looks like this, and those are the ports that appear on the server manager so...

And thatz wrong.

Hello to Portugal btw.

Your internal IP is 192.168.1.253 and your external IP is 188.80.254.198.

So you just need to enter your internal IP instead of your external IP, as you've done it already with your FTP-Server.

After that all should work.

 

[fernando03]

well, let's see if it works now
and hello to your country and thank youu!

well well
what now

 

[fernando03]

Update: now I can join if I am fast enough, but in the top it says "server is unavailable" and if I log out I can't join anymore

 

[Pfalzdriver]

Is this server running at the client with the local IP 192.168.1.253?

Double check plz.

Either within your network settings or open a shell and type "ipconfig /all".

 

[fernando03]

in content manager it says 192.168.1.117
maybe that is it?
I am kinda naive to this type of operation so sorry
In cmd it also says that ip, I'll check
Danke!

 

[Pfalzdriver]

Guess you dont use a static IP, which would be veeeeery helpful. You dont wanna change the port forwarding every time you'll start your client.

Maybe it was my fault implying the already configured FTP-server points to your box.

i am going to kill myself
It still doesn't work

 

[Pfalzdriver]

Did you change the port forwarding within the router to 192.168.1.117 ?

 

[fernando03]

 

[fernando03]

PC-DO-M4GICO is 192.168.1.117

 

[Pfalzdriver]

It should work this way, but try the real IP instead.

 

[fernando03]

that was what was before

right?

 

[Pfalzdriver]

Dude, again ... thatz your external IP! You dont need your external IP.

Enter 192.168.1.117 instead of PC-DO-M4GICO at the port forwarding of your router!

when i right 192.168.1.117, it turns automatically to PC-DO-M4GICO
