Hostname and/or port is invalid.

[Opywang]

Hey there I'm trying to get my shard going.

This is exact what I wrote here.

192.168.2.4
2593

ok it says hostname, and or port is invalid.

ok this is my router.



O.K. What am I doing wrong?  I tried to call the cable provider they said it is my router so I guess I did everything right, but something doesn't add up.

What is your outside IP?  I will see if I can telnet in from here to confirm connectivity.    What emulator are you using?  Some don't seem to work well with the poller... I need to look into that at some point.

I am using runuo 2.3

This is my ipconfig /all using window xp


This is my static ip.



i tried to turn off firewall, i did everything i can think of, and oh by the way i change IP to .58 for hosting not .4.

Now my shard is up, and running, and i will keep it running and see if you can get it connected like you just said you will try to do it manually i guess.

I have one question how do I change my shard ip address into words?

like Uohardcore port 2593?

Oh that is a local IP, you can't put that as it's private to your network only.  You'll need to port forward the port in your router and use your outside IP.

oh that could explain why nobody logging on my shard for 2 days.

here is site i am trying to understand what you are trying to say.

http://www.h3xed.com/web-and-internet/w ... -addresses

it says External ip address, and local ip address.

Alright please explain do I add this?

This is my ip address....  24.151.191.90

This is what I use for my game, and it work it what got me on the uo gate way, and the other IP i have is local, and this is what I got shown up above, so what exactly is outside Ip address?

Yes you would put 24.151.191.90 as the IP.  The 192.168.x.x range is for local only so it wont work for anyone outside your network.

Are you saying it should be working fine? 

I've been hosting it for nearly a week, and so far nobody has join the game so want to explain to me if it is my end, or is it the wrong patch, or anything?

Yeah this forum can be a little slow,  not that many people post here unfortunately.  I sent you a PM.  I really suspect your issue is your port forwarding or server though.

One month ago I post this, and I am not getting much result, and I have my server up,and running for nearly a month.

Can you please help me out.  I've gotten to the point of giving up, and I am not doing much because I can't get anything working.

Please please please help me! 

I have 99.95 uptimes on my game, and nobody can enter because I do not have it set up right.  I have my server running 24/7 for no reason at all I have it set up just for the server only, and it's running all day for no reason.

I've post everything up above can anybody figure out what is my mistake?  If you need a screen shot of anything I will gladly give you screen shot.

Here is all my screen shot of everything...

Port forward on my router


Here is my Ipconfig /all on window XP


Here is my internet protocol for static IP address.


Here is my IP address
24.151.191.90

I see you set a local static so that's good.

If you try to telnet into 24.151.191.90 2593 do you see anything in the shard console?  When you try to connect with the UO client, how far do you get? 

If you can connect but it fails when you click on the shard listing, I suspect it may be that you have to set your external hostname in serverlist.cs.  You will want to get a no-ip or similar dynamic hostname to give out to people to connect to, and you'll want to set that up in serverlist.cs.  (assuming you're running RunUO)

o.k. i notice one player has log on my shard for 4 mintue

i think it's working it just that it require specific client for it to work i don't know.



O.K. how do I set up a telenet? 

can you please explain?  I am using runuo 2.3

also how do I fix it where the latest client work on 2.3?  I've already post it on Uogateway, and wiating for a reply I did get a reply, but it did not answer that good to help me.

This is for the latest client on Runuo forums question I am still waiting for a reply.
http://www.runuo.com/community/threads/ ... -3.540219/

Now I need to figure out how to do the telenet I want to change my ip address to Uohardcore since I've got a domain name for it already.  I want it like this Uohardcore port 2493.

The telnet was just a troubleshooting step to see if the tcp connection can go through.  It rules out any client specific issues. So no need to worry about that now.

It could be that you are not on right client version for that version of the shard.  EA keeps changing packets around so a newer client wont always work on an older shard or vise versa.  Making it work is beyond even my knowledge, I've done it but usually by looking at other info I find online. 

If this is a brand new shard I'd recommend looking at ServUO, it's basically a fork of RunUO, as RunUO is no longer updated.  If you use the latest version of ServUO I imagine the latest client will also work.
