Topic: [Problem] Server not even appearing on LAN list

Hi teeworlds community,

Just got a really small problem I followed a guide by Pvpede I found after a bit of browsing and followed all the steps creating my own .ctf and changing the startup property of the shortcut it suggested I should make. So I started it up via the shortcut at the very bottom of the console that pops up it states twice that no firewall/nat problem are detected and under those two lines the server is registered.

But when I open teeworlds on another PC that is on my LAN; the server does not showup on the LAN list. Is there someone that could help me with this particular problem i'm having? I'm pretty sure I've done the port-forwarding correct or atleeast I hope so.. ^^

Thanks in advance =]

J.

The easiest way is to just enter the IP-address yourself.

Oh I failed to mention that I did try manually putting in the ip but it just stays on the "Connecting to" screen.

Re: [Problem] Server not even appearing on LAN list

Have you changed the port your server is listening to?

Re: [Problem] Server not even appearing on LAN list

computers must have the same address range.
ex : 198.168.0.1 , other 192.168.0.2 ........

and  configure your firewall (with port 8303)

Re: [Problem] Server not even appearing on LAN list

I'm pretty sure I had it so my router (netgear DG834v3) forward any traffic from port 8303 directed to my computer (which is 198.168.0.3) I also tried putting a 1 where sv_register is to see if anything unusual occurs, but it connects to the master servers without any problems and still no list on either LAN or on the Internet tab.

As for the firewall I opened it already using the built in firewall XP(SP2)has program was added as well.

Re: [Problem] Server not even appearing on LAN list

But if it registers to the master server without problem, then you should be able to see your server in the Internet tab. If the server is on the same computer you play on, then you could try to connect to localhost:8303. If that doesn't work something is wrong. tongue

Re: [Problem] Server not even appearing on LAN list

That's what I thought, if it can register on the master server without any problems, I should be able to see it on the Internet tab (or atleast the LAN tab) right? problem is I don't but I can get onto my own server using localhost:8303 on my computer but I really aim to have a 1v1 match against my brother but then the server doesn't show up in lan or internet tab and as stated in a earlier post I did try to connect from his pc by putting in my LAN address in followed by the port but it doesn't connect so i'm rather confused at this point o_O;

Re: [Problem] Server not even appearing on LAN list

And you're sure every firewall has accepted Teeworlds to go through? x) Does your brother's computer have any nasty firewall that could stop him? To you use the right version (0.4.3) of both the server and the clients? Or at least, the same version on all of them? I'm not sure what the error might be without knowing more about your setup, but if I get an idea I'll tell you. :]

Re: [Problem] Server not even appearing on LAN list

pretty sure about the firewall bit, I have kind of fixed the problem somehow by adding sv_bindaddr 192.168.0.3 which made the server appear on the internet tab but only for my brothers PC (yes he can get on it too) also set the register to 1 to see if a friend whom also has the game (to answer your question about versions yes we are using the 0.4.3) could see it but he couldn't see it I gave him the ip and port to connect to me (didn't give LAN IP I know the difference tongue) but that failed too... well I guess this is a problem that is different from the title but any help regrading that would be super =]
