Hi people..
I have a problem connecting to my server and I'm looking for a solution.. here is the setup:
I have MU Server running on an HP server at home.. I have a router (3com) in my room that I plug both my pc and the server to. This router is connected to my main DSL router (so I have 2 routers total).
I have setup the MuServer on the HP server, it's running fine with no probelm.. I have open ports 44405 and 55901 to the public.. I have my friends connecting to the server from different countries and they can login and play with no problem..
The problem is, I cant connect to my own server :-/ and I don't know why!!!! from my pc I can ping the global IP/DNS with no problem.. but if i try to connect to the game, I get "you have been disconnected from server" msg.. and if I use local IP, I get to see the server name, I click, I see the server bar, I click and then I get "you have been disconnected from server" again!!!
Now, if I go to the actual MU Server, and install the client there.. I get the exact same problem.. if I use global IP/DNS, then I get DC straight away, and if I use local IP (coz i'm on the actual server itself) then I see the server name, I click, I see the server bar, and then I click and DC..
on the main DSL router i did port fwd and opened 44405 and 55901 and that's why people can connect to my server.. I have also opened ports 44405, 55901, and 55557 on my 2nd router (the one between server and my pc) and I still can't connect..
what is the problem!!! I don't know what to do... Does anyone know what the problem is or how can I fix it?
Please.. no noob answer like (wrong config, or wrong port) :s
Thanks
