Hi. I have been trying to start a homeserver.  I have tried Medors (whole server download), Hermskii's (download game again and use it as server)  , and Hooks (use your own game) instructions.  I slect dedicated server and the little icon goes to the right corner. No matter which way I try, my server only shows up in LAN servers. I want to be a public server. Every port under the sun is forwarded. Firewall is letting everything through. I have my remote server admin working. Webserver port number is 8888.  I can play on the server on any of my pc's no problem. I have "advertise my server" checked off. What the heck am I not doing?  Thanks

Thanks H.  I noticed in your attachment, the port forwarding was UDP/TCP. I was using just UDP. Anyway, tried it. No luck. Keep 'em coming!

Thanks Rit.  I selected Advertise server and I have not selected Lan server.  Someone said something about being behind a NAT. I need to see what that is.  Thanks!

H,
Funny you should mention that. I looked up my model Hitron CODA 4582 (With Rogers Internet) and it turns out in some cases you have to go wireless to get around NAT issues. So I tried that, no luck. But while wireless I was finally able to download and connect with the ACE 1e anticheat on my server. Usually I time out. Even worked when I hard wired again. The next thing to try in wireless is to see if my new computer (Win10) will download server files. It's hardwired and only downloads maybe 1-2 files at a time from any server I have tried. So I have been using an older PC to play UT.That was another post a while back.  Now that I think of it, maybe ACE worked because I forwarded 9 new ports, not because of wireless?  Lol.  I should just stick with my rental server from NFO or just play here!

UPDATE

Moved the wireless hardware to my new pc. It doesn't download files in wireless either...rats.

TCP PORTS: 7777, 8080, 8777, 9777, 27900
UDP PORTS: 7777, 7778, 7779, 27900

Or you can make it demilitary zone.

do you have any 3rd party anti-virus / web utilities /  that are in the mix? Ive seen this before with other multiplayer games tho, do you happen to have MULTIPLE network adapters? When you go to network settings and choose change adapter settings, how many adapters are listed?

That is an internal address, the outside world would not see that. Open google, search with "what is my ip", and your outside IP should be listed at the top of the results.

How do I change the internal ip on the server to an external ip?  Also, where the heck is the command line? I can't find it. My rental server has the command line right when you log in.
Thanks

Okay thanks Hook.  So all my pc' will show up as LAN? I have 3 with UT GOTY on them.  I don't need a command line then?

Don't let it frustrate you OR control your life. & I'll say this for future reference if you decide @ some point your bored and just wanna do something different. In the past you helped me get my head on straight & go back to it @ a later time (with better success too!)

Hook is correct in the fact that most home setups do not show up in the master browser on their own setups, but they are visible via others (so you do appear in the list but not as far as you can see) For you to see your own server both internal and external you need external DNS. This can be achieved many different ways but it too has a cost (usually). For instance I have my own domain & did before when I was self hosting. My domain is Stellarsys.us (used to be stellarsys.net) but what I do, is I forward the requests from UT to my stellarsys.us DNS server and thus it appears outside as well. (If i don't, I will only see it in the LAN listing). Your issue with the server being seen outside the network is DNS related, that is a 100% guarantee. Your ISP provides their own DNS server along with what is called your public IP. Being that you only have 1 Public IP and it's for your internal network's requests, it makes PERFECT sense that you are only able to see it internally and not both like I had mine. So keep playing & later on maybe you find a DNS Server or decide to go full blown forum & you will have your cake & eat it too!  Hope this helps or at the very least destress. Ch33rz bud Im rooting for ya.
