Forum :: EOSERV :: Port Forward/Connect Help

Okay thanks. I uninstalled and reinstalled and after a few "Retry's" MySQL worked.

But now yet another problem lol.

I can connect to localhost, but now no one else can again. I forwarded the 8078 Port the same way I did the 3306 so if the MySQL can connect shouldn't others now be able to since I did them the same way if one works, both should?

Here's some details that might help. The new modem I had set up (the one mentioned in first post that's why I had to redo all of this) is a Modem and Wifi Router combined.

So to change port settings and all that I go to gateway.2wire.net

I can connect with 127.0.0.1 and I get a private address 192.168.1.64 which I can also connect with.

I can't however connect with my current IP (it changes) 67.64.147.117 or endlessrpg.webhop.org which is a dyndns.com thing that forwards to my IP.

Any ideas? Everytime I run into something someone on these forums find a way to fix it so thanks in advance.

Edit: Should others be able to connect with the Private IP 192.168.1.64? (Nevermind, a friend of mine tried and it didn't work.) So still no luck and any help will be appreciated.

And btw 192.168.1.64 is the Private IP I get at gateway.2wire.net and it says that's where eoserv/mysql is hosted (the port forwarding of these app's). And the public of course is my dynamic IP. But when I do "ipconfig" in cmd I get 192.168.1.64 as my IP. So I have no clue on what to do next to fix it.

The 192.168.1.64 is an internal IP address assigned to your computer by your modem/router. There is no way an external computer can connect to this address.

The address that people should be connecting to is the 67.64.147.117 one (or endlessrpg.webhop.org, your dyndns name)

However, you must make sure that your router is setup to forward port 8078 to your internal address; 192.168.1.64  You must also make sure that your firewall, if any, is allowing EOServ to listen on port 8078.

A good first step would be to make sure your dyndns is working.
Click Start->Run and type this:
cmd /c ping endlessrpg.webhop.org & pause

EDIT: OK I checked your dyndns address for you and it's working fine. You will have to check your router setting yourself though.

Hmm. I'll try to figure out how to do that.

Since this modem didn't use 192.168.0.1 or the 192.189.2.1 or w/e I checked out PortForward.com and found a default guide for my modem which is a 2wire.

I followed the exact steps found here. http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/2wire/2701HG-B/default.htm

Is that forwarding the ports to the 192.168.1.64 internal IP? And also I have to change some computer firewall settings and not just for the modem/router?

Yes you need to forward to 192.168.1.64 (Assuming that's your computers IP)
You can make sure that is your computers address by copy/pasting this into Start->Run..

cmd /c ipconfig | find /i "ip" | find /i "192.168" & pause

EDIT: copy & paste it so I don't have to explain what that line is between ipconfig and find =D

EDIT (again): Made the command more more compatible with other older Windows versions =P

Ah! so you're Trunks! It's Damis!

Yeah I checked and 192.168.1.64 is what came up when I did the run thing.

I believe that I am forwarding the ports to that IP, but no luck? If someone wouldn't mind taking a look at the link I posted like 2 posts up that shows the guide I followed at PortForward.com. It shows the instructions and has images that accompany them so you can see exactly what I did.

Does that guide Port Forward the ports to 192.168.1.64? Because this is similarly how I did it for my old modem and it worked. Again help appreciated and thank you so much already Sordie.

Edit: I also downloaded PortForward.com's Port checking tool and it checks 192.168.1.64 and it says that Port 8078 is open.
