Connecting Over the Internet

by Nathan Fillhardt · in Torque Game Engine · 02/13/2006 (9:36 am) · 3 replies

My game is able to connect fine over the lan, but when I went to test it across the internet I can't seem to get it to connect. I have my router forwarding the port that the server is running on. I have tried binding the server address to server different IP, 127... 192.168.... and my external IP and I get nothing when trying to connect. Are there some flags that I need to set? Is there a different way of connecting over the internet? Could this be some resolving issue? I'm kind of at a loss here, so any help would be awesome.

Make sure that permissions are set for any firewalls you're running.

Yeah they are all set correctly, I can't even connect to my server locally on the same computer if I use the external address. Am I missing something?

Should the "Hello World" example on the openTNL documentation be able to connect over the internet?
