Unable to connect a home-hosted server

[aragorgne]

Hi everyone !

So, it's been a couple hours since I started to try and run my own server for a few friends.
I can easily connect to it once it's running from the machine running it, however, I seem not to be able to connect from anywhere else. ( which kinda ruins the concept of a server :/ )

In the config_gameplay file, I've set "server ip" to my internet box ip and let pretty much every other setting untouched.

The port forwarding on said box is done. (UDP from port 17777 to port 17777)
(Couldn't run server on 7777 so chose another one randomly, yes I checked that nothing else was using it)

Also my testings were done with firewall off, so it doesn't come from that.

The adress i've tried to connect to is {IPv4ofthebox}:17777

Big thanks to anyone who could help finding where the problem is and how to solve it.

server_ip in config_gameplay should be set to 0.0.0.0. Check the pinned MP2 thread for more details.

Oh ok, when I read the thread I thought "Make sure that server_ip is set to your external IPv4 address. IPv4 bind should be 0.0.0.0 ." meant that server_ip was supposed to be external box address.

Though I still can't connect to the server so there might be something else.
Thanks for your reply anyway.

You have to use 127.0.0.1 in your game's Direct Connect to join your own server.

Yes, that works well. But as written in my first message, the problem is for computers outside of local network to join.

If you can't think of anything regarding game configuration, the problem is probably coming from what I did with my port forwarding or box config. I'll quintuple check it again to see.
Thanks again for your time.
