Nat

[CalinXL]

Hi all! When I try to make a server I have a problem: -Waring!- You appear to be in a private network, unless configure your nat, otherpl,pyers from the internet will be not able to join in your server!
How do I can configure it?

you have to open some ports at your router. normally 2350, 3450 and 5000 for UDP and TCP. then other players are able to join the server.

where exactly do that?

[bttrtrpfhr]

you have to login to your router. therefore use the manual of the router you have. i have a fritzbox and have to write fritz.box in the adress field of my browser. then (after login to your router) read where you can open ports or use google

and if you are ready to open ports then think of change them to for example 2353, 3453 and 5003 cause some ports i wrote in my post were used by the game itself ^^

normally there are enought tuts where you can read how to create a dedicated server. for example use mania-creative.com

I have a D-link router! I think i can't do this!

You can do it, i had a D-Link too and i could open ports
Go on http://portforward.com/english/routers/ ... rindex.htm then search your router and follow instructions when you clicked on it.

this message appears for every one who starts a server. It doesnt mean that you have to configure your nat but only if no one can join your server.
The best way to check if you need to open ports in your router is to start the server, see if it is visible on line and have someone try and join it.
if they can then all is ok and you need do nothing. However if the server is running on your own PC or home Lan and you are unable to join it from your own PC then that is a nat loopback issue which is a completly diff problem.
good luck and hope this helps
