MxServer problem connecting

Post by marcolyno221 »

Hello guys! Are two days I'm trying to create a server for mx simulator, but when my friends go to connect they have "connecting server" and don't join.
What's the problem? I use 127.0.0.1 for join and they my ip address :cry:

You need to set up port forwarding and your friends need to use your external IP addess to connect. Based on the IP you posted with, it should start with 95.243. If they're using a 192.168.x.x address, that's a lan address and it won't work.
