| Greetings, I'm having some trouble understanding the problem with my computer, modem etc etc.
Here's the deal;
I can connect to my mud with this way;
When I use 127.0.0.1 Port: 4000
I can't connect to my mud with this way;
When I use Myipadress Port:4000
----------------------------------------------
So my friend told me that it'd be something to do with port forwarding, so I added the 4000th port on my modem's Virtual Server configuration. But still I couldn't solve the problem. If any of you know why I can't connect to the mud via internet(since I use the ip adress instead of 127.0.0.1) please let me know. | | Top |

| That actually happened to me on my old router. My new router doesn't have this problem.
But there was nothing I found out on how to fix it. |

| | When you set up port forwarding in your router, what IP address did you forward port 4000 to? |

| Well I figured out the problem. It looks like you cannot connect to your computer using it's ip, rather than the 127.0.0.1.
Thanks anyway. | | Top |
