Players Can't Connect

Post by nelial »

My friend has created a server and, using B90, I attempted to connect to it while we're both online and both have Maptool open. My friend has the server open and it is appearing on the list to connect, but whenever I try to connect, through both the RPTools tab and the direct tab, I keep getting this error message:

Both our firewalls are down, we've enabled UPNP on both our computers, yet we still get this message. This is the first time we've tried to use Maptool so we're not sure how to fix it.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi I'm the other side of this problem the guy setting up the server. I have read the networking pdf and was a little confused on what I missed. So I double checked my router(bt homehub 4) and the upnp was enabled. So I was thinking it could be Norton I had set up. When we tried this I went into traffic rules and allowed upnp communication, and in program rules allowed maptool through the port 51234 to communicate. At this point was I meant to stipulate it has to communicate with rptools somewhere?
Because when we disabled our Nortons the server could be seen on the server registry and the blue server connectiong text appeared in the chat yet she still could not connect.

Also when Norton is up and running and I try to start a server, nothing happens, no blue text and when I try to disconnect I get this

Are these problems related or to separate things. Or am I blind and missed something in the pdf?

Someone better versed in UPNP might be able to help with this specific problem.

But if I were you I'd turn off UPNP, turn off Norton, and set up Port Forwarding myself in my router.

Also, please try to run two instances of MT on your computer. Start a server on one and do a direct connect from the second instance to your server. If that works then try and have your friend direct connect to your server and see what happens.

Hey we decided to forego UpnP and use port forwarding and we got it to work, as long as I didn't start the server and she had the campaign file; I could sign in as a GM and play that way which honestly I do not mind in the slightest. So the problem was somewhere on my end but as long as we can play and it doesn't rise its head in the future I am happy. Thanks for your help!
