can't join friends terraria server

[Somthingwierd]

whenever i try to join his server it just stays on the screen that says join and thee ip. it stays there forever and nothing ever happens! any help?

I had a similar problem with a friend. Once we got everything port forwarded, we were able to join one anothers games, and I did join his game a few times. The next day it would just sit at connecting, and we had another friend try to join and he got stuck at the connecting screen. Couldn't figure out why it was working for him one day, then it stopped the next.

You probably need to Port Forward.

This is the guide I used for it. Good luck with it.

This is what I found on google.

"If your connecting to your friends server, they need to open their port correctly. Not you.

Whoever is running the server go to...
http://www.canyouseeme.org/

Type in the port used for terraria and check that it is open. If the port is closed, something in their forwarding or network rules needs to be addressed.

If there port is open, then the server is incorrectly configured, or one of you is on a network that has extra security or something unusual that will need to be dealt with."

Hope it helps!

wait if their port is open the server is incorrect? i thought it was the other way around. and i think both of us have the port open because we both used to run servers

If that's not it, then they likely did one of two things.

1 - They gave you the wrong ip. Just go to google and type in "ip". Give that ip to your friends that are trying to join.

2 - They didn't give you the correct port. Always leave it at 7777 if you host a server.
