Outside connections

How about firewalls, you got any of those running?

Well i set it to this after techguys recommendations. First I DMZ'd Router for testing purposes only.

<address>name.no-ip.com</address>
<localaddress>192.168.1.1</localaddress>

and it then let me connect.
Hope this helps you
best regards,

so it really does not matter what you set the 'address' field to right?

and that is your gateway address right? not your serving computer IP?

The local address is set to my server computer, sorry i didn't state that earlier.

awww man after days and days I figured it out,

I was checking my fire wall settings on my client computer like a slacka and not on my server computer lol, I had firewall on. Working fine now. I will try the DMZ setting off in a bit and see if it works.

Rodorant, make sure you remove the <!-- and --> at the begining and end of those lines you posted. Those things comment the line out so it will not be used by the emulator and can cause problems under some situations like the minilogin.

I had it working fine under public, but when I went to work with the minilogin, I had to remove them to prevent connection timeouts. I belive that there in use for the minilogin because your directly handling the client connections and with the public login, it take care of those things. Could be wrong, but its the conclusion that I come up with.

As far as DMZ'ing goes. I never had to mess with it. All DMZ does is provide a DIRECT connection from the internet to your computer. No firewalls, all ports wide open. This may be good if you cant get port forwarding to work, but I would suggest trying to forward some ports before opening up the flood walls.



Note: DMZ info obtained from my router and DSL modem. May be wrong, but this is what they do when I use the DMZ. Applies to a Belkin Wireless router and to a Linksys VoIP router, have used both.
