FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Im just wondering if this works.
Its just a simple server with a few buildings.

IP:192.168.2.102:30000

Once this is working, Ill be editing this post for
more details.

I can't join your server.

EDIT: did you do the port forwarding correctly

that should tell you every thing you need unless you are not hosting it from your computer

EDIT: use only the port forwarding methods on the page the rest is outdated just use the minetest server executable after puting a few lines of conf in simple

So how do you port forward using a wireless router?

So how do you port forward using a wireless router?

it says on the page you type in your routers ip address in your webbrowser eg. google chrome and then go to like advanced options or something. then if on linux type ctrl + alt + t to open terminal and then type ifconfig and look at eth1 and look at inet addr: (you internal ip) and your internal ip is te number you forward your port to on the router and you want to forward port 30000 using udp.

Or general:

The common router IP's are
192.168.2.1
192.168.1.1
or
192.168.0.1

Login there and search the portforwarding tab/field.
Add there UDP, port 30000 and your network-internal computer IP.
Save settings, if required and test it.

Port forwarding is a thing to make a "hole" through the firewall, so other computers can send requests to the router and it redericts to your computer.

eth is wired network, you would need to look at wlan0.

Ok. Im back.
I've already port forwarded it.
Can someone test this?

Use this: http://www.whatismyip.com/
and you'll see your external IP.
192.168.xxx.xxx is just an router-internal IP

So what now will I do?
my external ip is 203.177.208.98

203.177.208.98:30000 should work to play MT now.

Really? Can you test it?

Connection failed, check your router config again.
You could try to connect over the external IP over another PC.

Well I got this from the debug.
