Re: trying to connect to a server running in network from in met
The 2701HG-B (from its logs) appears to be running a variation of Linux, which by default does not trust private IP's coming in through its public interface (as possibly spoofed). So by default it will not do LAN2LAN via WAN IP.
You could try adding a name for the local private IP of the game server in the HOSTS file of the local PC trying to connect to it. But you have to make sure it is a "HOSTS" file (capitalization does not matter in Windows) and not HOSTS.SAM (which is just an example) or any other filename extension. You should set windows to NOT hide known files extensions. If you edit the hosts file in Notepad, you may need to rename the file from hosts.txt to hosts (no file extension).
But if the game client uses DNS only instead of HOSTS first you might still have an issue. |

| weve tried the host file thing ... just found a forum talking about this and it still doesn't work....SO if i were to use a different router for example... A linksys wireless-g broadband router, model# wrt54g... would this resolve the issue or do any routers allow public ip loopback.. and if the router i just listed does allow loopback would it work if the router was connected through the 2701hg-b just acting solely as a modem?
I am so frustrated right now... i have a game server that anyone else can get on but i cant get on to administrate |
