FAQ AND RULES TO POST HERE
Can we post our server link just to tell you...
NO! Your server IP does not matter here if you post it you will be reported AND I will not help you
No body can connect to my server!!!!!
You did not portforward correctly as of now I am not taking any portforward questions please go here
www.portforward.com --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
USEFUL LINKS
http://no-ip.com/http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsphttp://winrar.d0wnloadz.net/http://silabsoft.org/smf/index.php?showtopic=1911 - Zykev2's Ultimate tutorial list
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 1: Getting JDK
First go to this link
http://java.com/en/download/manual.jspThen select the FIRST version \'online\'. And basically thats it once it is downloaded you now have JDK. Its really as simple as that no need to explain further.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is probably the easiest part of making a server. How you do this is go to
www.no-ip.comonce you are there sign up and log in and under HOST/ REDIRECTS click \'ADD\
Where it says SERVERNAME thats what you need to fill in. so it would be for example
Testingscape
then on the drop down box select your hostname lets say we want it to be .no-ip.biz
so we would select no-ip
Testingscape.no-ip.biz
now DONT CHANGE ANYTHING ELSE click add host. and thats it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Great now after selecting your hostname on the no-ip.com go to \'DOWNLOADS\' and you should pop up to a screen with three different downloads.
click the download that corresponds with your computer
Click download.
Now once it is downloaded sign in with your username and password for no-ip if it did not auto sign in. You can do this by on the no-ip screen the little one click \'EDIT\' then sign in and your IP\'s should pop up.
Check mark the place before the IP you want to use.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 4: Getting a server source (base)
Go to silabsoft homepage (Silabsoft.org/smf) and go to the downloads section
Now for the sake of example I am going to pick my server source. (Cryptchaos) You can choose it or anyone you want. Figmentscape is a good source also.
Find the download link if your using Cryptchaos it will be at the very bottom of the 1st topic.
Once you downloaded ANY source it should be in .zip or .rar format, You should have winRAR now it should pop up to a screen like this
Click the extract button and extract it to desktop
Now it should pop up to a regular folder on your desktop. Open your folder.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 6: Portforwarding and Opening the default port '43594'
Go to
start > all programs > accessories > command prompt
and Type 'IP config'
and press enter
You want your 'Default gateway' and your 'IP address'
Go to your browser and click put your default gateway in. I have a netgear so its 192.168.1.1 and Lynksys is the same to I believe.
It will come up to a password screen
Enter your username and password for your router
once you are logged in if your using netgear it should look similar to this. If you are not you need to find your portforward page by yourself or use
Portforward.com
Now assuming you have netgear router click portforward / porttriggering
it should pop up to a screen Click 'ADD CUSTOM SERVICE' and fill it out similar to this
It really does not matter what name you put Ive portforwarded with names like
RSPS
Moparscape
Silab
Silabsoft
--------------
FOR OTHER USERS THIS IS HOW YOU WOULD FILL IT IN TO JUST DIFFERENT FORM'
--------------
Congratulations you portforwarded now go to your firewall
Start > Control panel > Firewall > exceptions
make a new port, name it what ever you want, add the port number '43594' and make sure its tcp.
