Yes, again... I cannot make dedicated AC server

[Ribs]

YES, I did port forwarding correctly. The problem is i got error with registering to ac main server in console:

Error Get http://93.57.10.21/lobby.ashx/register?name=annopol&port=9600&tcp_port=9600&max_clients=16&track=ek_sadamine-uphill_real&cars=chevy_camaro_1969_zl1%2Cks_ford_escort_mk1%2Cbk_ford_falcon_XBGT_S%2C70_ford_mustang_boss%2Cinitiald_honda_civic_eg6%2Cddm_nissan_skyline_bnr32%2Cddm_subaru_22b%2Cacw_subaru_grb_2008%2Cks_toyota_ae86_tuned%2Cks_toyota_gt86&timeofday=0&sessions=1&durations=59940&password=1&version=202&pickup=1&autoclutch=1&abs=1&tc=1&stability=0&legal_tyres=&fixed_setup=0&timed=0&extra=0&pit=0&inverted=0: dial tcp 93.57.10.21:80: connectex: The connection attempt failed because the connected party did not respond correctly after the specified time period, or the created connection failed because the connected host did not respond.

The main problem is that I can connect to the server via LAN but my friend gets error:

Cannot load any information: server did not respond in given time.

There are many videos, I get through all of them and yet, something is wrong. Even I did new firewall rules with ports etc.

Most likely problem is still the router and the port forwarding.
Did you forward the ports on your router? Not the firewall or whatever on your machine, the actual router itself.

192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 into your browser and that'll take you to your router, poke around in there, it'll be port forwarding, security, services, something like that.

You may have to create a new rule called AC or whatever and enter the ports needed THEN activate that new rule/service/program in another section of the router.

In doing this you will want to make sure that the address of your computer is a reserved/static IP, you'll find what IP your router has given you under a section usually called "Attached Devices", find your machine in there and ensure that it's set to have a static IP address

Also restart the router after doing this, some router require a restart before rules like this get changed.

Sorry for soo late response. Maybe the problem is with the router itself, I mean it's quite old and doesn't have functions like DMZ etc. Also I cannot add any rules or something, only port and IP to forward. Screen of the port forwarding on my router [ibb.co] The IP of the computer is static. Also I uninstalled services like hamachi to be sure that nothing is on the way between AC server, comuter, router and internet.

Whats your HTTP port in your AC server config? Try 8081, I wouldn't try to use 80.

[tritek]

u need to open port 8081 instead of 80

[Ribs]

I did 8081 and 80, neither of them works

[ling.speed]

Did you check if the ports are actually open (with an online tool, or better with something like https://portforward.com/help/portcheck.htm )

You also mention the PC has static IP, is that on router or your ISP. If the latter is dynamic chances are your ISP is blocking those ports (i had to buy myself a "external IP" when using Multimedia to host anything)

[JPSGT40]

This website is also useful: What is my IP address?[whatismyip.host]
It will show you your current IP Address as seen from the outside world, which is what you need for people to connect to you.

You should also check the Tech Support website for your ISP. Many Internet providers are getting absolutely ridiculous about blocking their customers' ability to host anything from their home computers. And some are not being honest and open about it; you might have to find out the truth from fellow customers.

So probably the problem is with my ISP. I will contact them, get some info and then I will try to do something. Thank You all for the help. See you in race mates.

THis is hella late to the party but it might be usefull to someone along in the future.

I just finished setting up a dedicated server myself.
In my case all port forwarding rules in the router were correct etc etc. but nothing worked.

however, it turned out to be the internal windows firewall that was blocking everything.
So i added rules to allow connections to the relevant TCP and UDP ports.

And boom it was working perfectly.
So i feel that this is not covered much in the many tutorials. It's not only the port forwarding of your router but if you are still having problems its quite likly the windows firewall is not allowing the connections.

Well, I've changed my ISP recently so maybe I will give it a try
