Server host problem (host not found when hosting)

[Robert O]

Hi,

When i try to host a server i have the problem that my server can't be found when connecting (getting the error "host not found").
I tried already to disable my router firewall and for my normal firewall i made a acceptance rule. But this does not help.
I use the default server port: 56278.

Somebody an idea of how to solve this?

Thanks in forward.

V1 or Condor 2?

Can you connect to servers on the serverlist?

[Robert O]

yes, I can join other servers with no problem.

The hosting is with V2.

You get host not found when you click on the serverlist?
Can you please try to enter your private ip in the multiplayer dialog boxes to try to join your server using private IP?

[Robert O]

I tried that already, then i works fine for myself. Others can't join then, which is logical ofcourse.

I was going to suggest to try a tool like http://canyouseeme.org/ but none of the tools I just tried seem to detect my dedicated test server, even though people can join...

Did you configure your router to forward that port to your PC's IP running the server?

Forward UTP and UDP.

So...using a router on IPv4 is no problem, forwarding etc..
But what can I do when my ISP offers IPv6 only?

Cheers

I managed to solve the problem by forwarding te port used by Condor in my router.
The main problem doing this was that i was unable to find these setting in my router.
Eventualy i contaced the costumer service of my internet provider, then it came clear that they had to actived these setting in my router settings for me. Before i could change them. So after that it made the forwarding settings and now it works fine.

Thanks for the given advice

Thanks for sharing it with us as well. It worked out well for me too. Without your response, wouldn't have made it. Thanks again.

I'm having the same problem. I'm trying to set up Port Forwarding on my new Fidium provided router.
When I called Fidium support, I was asked about these things: Protocol, Loop Back, External Port, and Internal Port. Here are my responses:
Protocol: UDP
Loopback: Auto Enable
External Port: 56278
Internal Port: I have no idea!

Do I have the first 3 items correct? What should the value be for the Internal Port?

Thanks,
Jim

External Port is the port the request will talk to. It's f.x. the port used by the Join in button on the serverlist. The router gets this request and forwards it to the machine inside the network behind the router. The program on this machine (Condor server in your case) is listening to a port. This is the Internal Port. Usually it's the same like the external port, but there are possible constellations in a network, where this is not the case. F.x 2 machines listening to the same port, then you have to use 2 different external ports and the router forwards each port to one of the 2 machines by using the same internal port.

I'm not really a networker but hope my explanation is right and understandable. The short answer to your question is: The Internal Port is 56278

UDP is correct, external port looks good, loop back is nothing I have heard about before

In order for port forward to work well, CGNAT should be turned off. If not, Your ISP must do this

[Jmason9999]

Thanks 6266 and h.kreso. I have now have port forwarding set as follows:
Internal Port: 56278
External Port: 56278
Protocol: TCP & UDP

Still no luck in trying to host using the Condor Dedicated Server, i.e. still get, "Host not found".
Thanks,
Jim

check the firewall on the router
