i know you have all heard this one before lol

but ill make it quick i followed the tutorial on how to do it but after i done everything i start up the server then i try to connect and my friend tried and it just says "contacting server"

picture:

port forwarding?

[jlv]

Set it to UDP port 19800.

[GpxMoto]

Set it to UDP port 19800.

yeah done that but still have probs i made it to 19800-19800

and the default protocol timeout is 600 and also what is the map to host port and under applications i chose private server

or do i choose irc server insted of pptp server?

[jlv]

Map to host port probably lets you rewrite the port number so you can make it look like it's using a different port externally. You don't need that so leave the default.

For the application type leave it set to "None" like it recommends.

[GpxMoto]

dont worry i fixed it thanks for the help jlv

[GpxMoto]

hmm i guess it wasn't fixed new problem! can go onto the server but when my friend tried he had this problem

picture:



i don't know why it happened it came up in warm up mode because i was in a single player race which is normal but froze and just said contacting server?

and for some reason he didn't start at the starting gates in warm up mode?

nah gpx i was riding around before and then tried to connect to your sever

[GpxMoto]

ohh lol thanks for mentioning

[jlv]

Are you sure your friend trying to connect to the correct address? It will be different than the address you use if you're behind the router.

[GpxMoto]

ohhhh so what address would he have to use?

i gave him many others but they didn't work either

[yzmxer608]

You use the 127.0.0.1, he uses whatever you get from http://ipchicken.com/.

[yzmxer608]

Forgot to add, he should also try adding the port at the end of the ip in-game.

[GpxMoto]

Thanks a bunch mate

when my friend comes online ill give it a crack

[GpxMoto]

ok more trouble my friend tried my ip from ipchicken it didn't work

then we tried ***.***.***.**:19800
like that

but *=numbers

then i tried all the others again and tried subnet mask or something and then the program started saying it's lazy?
