Issue with IP config on PennMUSH
-
So, I've installed a PennMUSH server for myself on an Ubuntu system and FS3 Starter DB, everything was a success during installation, but I can't connect to my server using my public IP adress, only using the internal IP. The port was opened through iptables.
Did I miss something? How can I fix that?
-
Do you have a router that does any incoming port restriction work?
-
No, it's configured so no ports are restricted.
-
Nevermind, it seems that my router had an additional firewall which was blocking communication, I was able to access and config it. Everything works as intended.
Thanks for the help!
-
@sthanheykel Glad it was an easy fix!
-
Well, might be something else... I ran some tests with some friends and while I can use the WAN IP to connect to the server, no one outside the router's network can access it.
I tried checking port forwarding, the port is allowed in all firewalls, but I still get no luck.
-
@sthanheykel Just for the sake of making sure it's not a typo (because god knows my brain has hiccuped enough in this sort of thing) ... it's not an inadvertent typo in iptables or the router?

Are you on Frontier?
I only ask because they block 90% of all incoming connections to your computer through their system. Regardless of how you have the connection setup. Especially if you're on the DSL. I had this problem when I had Frontier. Changed ISPs and with the same equipment the setup worked with no problems.

Tried a new router, reconfigured it all and everything works fine now.
@Seamus No, I'm using Virtua, their services are very stable here so hopefully I won't have any problems with them
