prahjakt zahmboyd Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Hi All, If anyone can help with this, I will slaughter several white oxen in their honor. I have spent the past week trying to get a flippin server up. Here's what I have tried.PORTS FORWARDED I have logged into my router and tried forwarding ports under UDP/TCP (screenshot attached) I also tried using a range, i.e. instead of specific ports in each line, using "16261-16268" When I use port checker, it says my port is still closed. (screenshot attached) I am using ProjectZomboidServer.bat in the main directory, and can join from the server PC using Local IP, but all external connections are failing. I have read so many forums, deleted everything and started form scratch several times, tried hamachi... but cannot for the life of me work it out. I think my port forwarding is the problem. Please help! The white oxen are waiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may have forgotten your steam ports, alternatively it could be you have a software level firewall that is preventing the process from talking to the outside world.If this is on a server OS (Like Windows Server) then you will also need to create port rules in Windows Advanced Firewall, if this is just a workstation OS (Like Windows 7,8 or 10) then you need to make sure the process isn't being automatically blocked.

prahjakt zahmboyd Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 thanks guys. I tried that guide as well but had no luck. I will uninstall everything and try it again. In the meantime.... I had already turned off all firewalls on the computer, its not a server just a basic machine running windows 7. I am able to access the server from the machine it is running on using 127.0.0.1 as my IP and port 16261 From the screenshots I attached, have I done port forwarding correctly? Also probably worth noting is the fact that I am only trying to connect over a local LAN network, connected to the internet, but all the computers trying to connect are on the same wifi network . Appreciate your help guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasyPickins Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 With those ports, only 2 clients will be able to connect. One on 16262, and one on 16263. Also, these 2 ports won't be seen by any port scanner, as they are only opened by the server when the client is trying to download parts of the map.

prahjakt zahmboyd Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 Understood, but not even one other client can connect. Even on the same lan network.Perhaps it's another problem than port forwarding? If 16261,2 and 3 are open at least one other client should be able to connectThis is killing me, I flipping love this game but have played it to death single player, I need this!
