Hello im having issues... im desperate, heres my problem

First sphere.ini my config:

//MyShard
//127.0.0.1
//2593

//External
//cecilarena. ddns . net
//2593

[EOF]

my 2593 only shows open only IF i have sphereserver running

''Port 2593 is open on 37.134.1.83''

If i close the sphereserver and check ports they get closed, is that normal?

if i have sphere server running and i check ports, it shows some ips' at my server console, wtf

NOTE: I can connect to the server on my computer, but i cant connect when i try using a virtualbox behind a vpn, virtualbox login:

Loginserver= Cecilarenas.noip. me,2593
i also tried
Loginserver=37.134.1.83,2593


It gets Stucked at ''connecting'', BUT if i close the vpn server it logs in UNDER MY LOCAL IP, obviously.

youtube VIDEO that shows my problem:

My sphere doesnt had the sphere_serv_triggers file, so i copied it from another pack and added my noip thing, still cant connect under different ips.

I tried everything, firewalls off, etc

Well server is up right now, can someone try to log in? i just want to know if people are able to log my server, thanks!

Basically you're missing this part:

Though this is considered to be the "old" way of doing it and will result in 2 lines displaying on your server's login screen, the other method is to open the sphere_serv_triggers.scp file which is located in your scripts folder and insert your external IP there

Code:
// This function is called on server startup
[FUNCTION f_onserver_start]
serv.servip=my.ip.goes.here

already did that, still not working, my serverpack doesnt had that file called sphere_serv:triggers, i copied it from adifferent pack and added my ip there...

What could I do if I follow the instructions at http://forum.spherecommunity.net/Thread-...ver-Setup, I disable the firewall and I get the FATAL error; Unable to bind listen socket at a sphere 0.55? (I dont think it is related to the sphere version so thats why Im posting here)

Probably there is another sphereserver process running, look for spheresvr in the process tab of the task manager, then terminate it.

Thank you, that solved the error, but I still can not connect from an external location.. I may misunderstand the tutorial.. But Im only changing the ip when it says my.ip.goes.here and adding the serv.servip=externalip at the sphere_serv_triggers.scp file.

I have windows 8.1, the firewall disabled and the TCP/UPD ports opened at the router so I dont have a clue why the clients says it couldnt connect.

I have a similar problem ( using windows 8.1).
Computers that are outside my "home-network" can connect by using my real ip, while computers inside my "home-network" must use the ip assigned by the router.

Yes, I know that, in fact Im testing with my mobile phone, turning on the tethering and using a different computer, but I cant connect. The sphere console does not make any sign of receive a login ask..

Probably it's the router and / or windows 8.1.
