Hi There all, im very new to hosting my own servers (on any game for that matter) and with Ultima Online being one of my old faves, i thought id give it a go.

I've been working on my server for a while now in terms of scrpiting, but I can only get my server to open locally. Now im really in need of some help.

My server is under the IP adress of impsal.no-ip.info which has been configured from a port 80 redirect from my online IP to port 2593.

on sphere.ini, it is shown like this:

[SERVERS]
Click Link Below
127.0.0.1
2593

Imp. Salvation
impsal.no-ip.info
2593

and above like this:

[SPHERE]
// Name of your Sphere shard
ServName=Click Link Below
// The IP of your server, this will be 127.0.0.1 almost always
ServIP=127.0.0.1
// The port of your server, this is 2593 by default
ServPort=2593

Attatched under "router set-up 1" is my port forwarding set-up. and under "router set-up 2" is my firewall settings. My computer firewall setting are identical (using McAffe).

   
   

After having all that set-up I launch the razer programme using the impsal.no-ip.info and port 2593 details and it doesn't even pass the "connecting" stage after attempting to log-in.

   
   

So im really stuck. Not sure at all what to do. Any Suggestions?

Whats the sphere setting for encrypted clients?

Also, I think you can remove these three lines:
Click Link Below
127.0.0.1
2593


also, what happens if you change the no-ip.info line to read: 8.23.224.90

also the same result when I add the online IP, doesn't pass connecting

There is a setting in your INI like this:

// Set this to 0 to allow login to encrypted clients
UseCrypt=1

// Set this to 1 to allow login to unencrypted clients
UseNoCrypt=0


Although, if it was those, I think that you'd get a message in your console.

Is the no-ip definitely pointing to your pc? and is port forwarding definitely working?

Post: #5

Try putting your dynamic ip thing in sphere_serv_triggers.scp here:


and make the service is pointing at your computer, the router looks to be set up correctly.
You don't have a software firewall on your computer blocking it do you?

Did you check the forwarding with this: http://www.canyouseeme.org/ ?

Post: #6

when i first had problems, the port wasnt opening due to a firewall, but ive resolved it and forwarded my port on both the firewall on teCPU through mcaffe and on my router.

i have both use crypt and use no crypt at 1.

i checked my port forwarding and it said port 2593 is open.

how can i check if the no-ip is pointing at my pc, tbh thats the only thing which i had no knowlage of at all! (using no-ip that is)

---

Success: I can see your service on 94.4.128.115 on port (2593)
Your ISP is not blocking port 2593

So the port is open, then tried adding this to serv_triggers

[FUNCTION f_onserver_start]
serv.servip=impsal.no-ip.info

Still nothing... BUT This did happen when i checked if my port was open

   

that suggests it might be a client problem, could i be right? or could it still be my cpu for some reason?

Ok, looks like the forwarder is working correctly now....

Notice what it says in sphere.ini? I have for a long time wondered if this is a typo or not but whatever try setting UseCrypt to 0 and UseNoCrypt to 1.
If that is correct that will allow any client encrypted or otherwise to log in.
Mine have always both been set to 1 though I always log into my server with razor so i can run multiple instances to test things.

ok so now looks like this:

// Set this to 0 to allow login to encrypted clients
UseCrypt=0

// Set this to 1 to allow login to unencrypted clients
UseNoCrypt=1

attempted login... still nothing. its not even getting to sphere. the only time any text has gone through to sphere is when i did a port test.

Post: #9

if im not mistaken port 80 redirect is for websites? select DNS(A)

Post: #10

ohhh.... ok changed NO-ip and updated...

WAAAAHOOOOO!!! 1 step closer!!!! its now showing up on sphere! but still not quite connecting.
