Do you think it's a good idea for MapTool to identify the available interfaces and make the list available for the user to choose from, with MapTool defaulting to the one that it thinks is most appropriate?
If so, it could eliminate those with "00-00-00-00-00-00" as their MAC address, although PPP or PPTP could conceivably use that MAC address (since they are not broadcast protocols).
Thanks for your help! I have all of the updates applied. I will work on the flowchart Sunday night after my game -- or on Monday -- and post a revised document asap.

Definitely think something has to change there. MapTool isn't reporting any kind of error in these situations and the user probably won't realize what has happened.Azhrei wrote:Do you think it's a good idea for MapTool to identify the available interfaces and make the list available for the user to choose from, with MapTool defaulting to the one that it thinks is most appropriate?
Port forwarding de-coded
Thanks for the pdf explaining how to port forward for Maptool. I'm supposed to DM tomorrow night and my players could not connect to my server.
Now they can
Thanks again.

Now they can

*Bump*
I've updated the FAQ and version 1.3 is now available. I've updated the first post in this thread with a summary of the changes as well, but editing the first post didn't cause this thread to be bumped.
I would like to add a section on Hamachi and then maybe we can cull a few of the Sticky threads in this forum? (Moderators: hint, hint)
If the FAQ needs something else added before the Stickies can be trimmed, let me know and I'll get it done asap.

I've put the most recent one on my MapTool web site. In the future I will try to keep both locations current.
Re: Networking FAQ for MapTool
Hey something that came up during my setup on Friday. When trying to setup portforwarding on my GM's linksys WRT54G router I had a wicked performance problem and could not get it to setup. While working on it over the next 1.5 hours I stumble across something and hmmmm. I switched browsers and it all worked fine.
When using Google chrome and working with the Linksys router application it was slow and would error out on any attempt to save the setting changes. Work fine with IE and I will assume Firefox because I use it for my home linksys routers. I have 2 plus a WAP.

Huh. That's weird. I wonder what is so unusual about the Linksys config pages. Chrome works dandy with my Belkin router.
Re: Networking FAQ for MapTool
boy it sure is infuriating not being able to log in to remote servers or have anyone log into mine... has anyone found a reason for this yet?
Re: Networking FAQ for MapTool
You can't just log in to remote servers. The majority of them are using passwords. If you can browse the internet then you can connect to the remote servers for which you have access.
