Hey there!
I have a rather strange problem. After opening the port 51234, the connection test still did not work. Canyouseeme.org, on the other hand, told me they could successfully see my PC through this port.
Now, what do you think I am supposed to do? I really can't think of any reason why this is happening.
I am using the newest version of MapTool on Mac 10.5.8.
I thank you in advance for your help.
Best regards,
K

Re: Problem with port forwarding
Older versions of MapTool have a button labeled "Test Connection" that requires an external web server. Unfortunately, that server is quite unreliable so newer versions of MT have removed that button and replaced it with a link to the Networking FAQ in the HowTo subforum.Khouni wrote:I have a rather strange problem.

In other words, ignore the results of the Test Connection as it's probably not working for you. If CanYouSeeMe.org is working, your network connection is fine.

Re: Problem with port forwarding
What test connection?
Did you/someone try to connect to your server and failed?
Or did you used the button "connection test" (or "test connection"?) in the server dialog? If that would be the case ... well ... you wouldnt use the latest version since its disabled due to its unreliability

Well, I used the "test connection" button in the server dialog. I am using the version from the "Launch" section of the website.
But thanks, I will get a player to try to connect to the server.

So you went with the "release" version? Yeah, that one still has the old Test Connection button.Khouni wrote:Well, I used the "test connection" button in the server dialog. I am using the version from the "Launch" section of the website.
Well, you said the CanYouSeeMe.org worked so you're good to go.But thanks, I will get a player to try to connect to the server.
