Zone Connection

[ToxicFume]

Hello all,

I am very new to the forums, and am currently trying to have my own zone on Subspace Continuum. I finally got my zone to show up on the list, and I was super excited. When I try to load it I get a "Information" message saying "Failed to connect to server. Check to make sure server is online (it should appear yellow or green in the zone list) and that you are currently connected to the internet. If problem persists, seek help at tech support forums on www.subspacehq.com"

 

When I load my zone it is originally green, but after I get that message and check, the zone is red. Does anyone have any clue what's going on?

 

Thanks,

Gordon~

You need to manually add the zone, you cannot connect to your own IP.

 

Under the "Zones" menu, click "Add Custom..."

For Zone put in "Local Zone"

For IP Address: put in "127.0.0.1"

For Port: put in the zone's port

Click "OK"

 

The zone should now be on your list as "Local Zone" and you should be able to connect to it and play.

Oh, I didn't know that. I did everything you said to do, I am getting the same message. The DOS server is saying "Client connection request from billing server ignored".

 

hmmm...

For billing IP in the server.ini set it to localhost

[ToxicFume]

Well, that works locally (thanks), and I can use that for testing purposes, but my brother still can't connect from his home.

So does anyone have any ideas?

For others to be able to connect, you'll need to enable port forwarding (for your zone's port & zone port +1) in your internet router's configurations.

Do I keep the billing IP in the server.ini set it to localhost ?

[Hakaku]

If your zone and biller are working correctly and you can connect to them from the same computer, you have nothing else to change in their settings.

 

For others to connect, you need to access your internet router's settings.

I have 3 options for port forwarding: Single Port Forwarding | Port Range Forwarding | Port Range Triggering

you have a linksys wrt54g

 

go with single port forwarding, and forward your zone port and port +1

or just dmz the entire computer
