Re: trying to connect to a server running in network from in met Sounds as though you may have a public IP loopback problem. One way to determine if internal machines are not looping back properly through your public IP via the 2Wire is to see if you can make a direct connection. Can you reach the game server from another local machine by using the game server's LAN address (for example, 192.168.1.x) instead of your public address? If you can, then that may be good enough. If it isn't, you'll have to look at the 2Wire's settings to see if there are any explicit loopback options which can be adjusted.
Good luck. |

| Ok .. I tried to connect to the game server using the local ip of the other machine and am able to connect to the login server we have established... however it still will not connect to the game server itself... it sticks on the screen stating "Logging in to Game Server", and never goes any further.. I tried looking at the 2wires settings and there is not a single setting that has anything to do with loopbacks or the like... that was my first thought was it is a loopback issue and i still think it is because the only way i can even connect to the login server is to put the ip of the local machine ... everyone else that connects to the server uses the ip of the router and has no problem connecting as long as they are outside the network... If anyone has any clue about what the loopback issue could possibly be then please let me know im game to try anything tired of being frustrated by this

If you are getting to the login for the game server the problem must be the game server. If the 2wire was the problem you would not get the login prompt. |

| SO the game server does not allow acces from a public ip loopback but does allow acces from an external ip.... strange... is there a way to resolve this issue or am i stuck?
i can't understand how this would happen... how are you supposed to admin a game server if you can't acces it from the network its running on when it's live on the net... you can access the game server form the machine that its running on, if its not live, but you can't access the game server from other systems on the same network wheter it's live or not... so frustrated to be this close to running this thing and being stuck now... |

Indy | I think the problem is with the game server configuration.
Start trouble shooting at the game server |

| kk thanks we just tested something and with the server running when i attempt to connect it shows me connected to the server however on my end it sticks at "Logging in to Game Server" ... So this seems like im stuck with dealing with the admins for the server program that we are running that won't answer any of our questions we post... they answer every other question on the forum except for the questions we post... i'm so damned frustrated right now.....ughh!!!!!! |

Indy | It may be something simple that you have overlooked, go over the server configuration carefully |
