I have a server set up, i can join it fine on lan. but i cant seem to join it over wan.
I've tried many things based on information collected on general port forwarding and troubleshooting.
i have forwarded the port on both udp and tcp. (2300-2305, 8766, 27016)
i have disabled firewall, i have disabled windows defender. (although i dont think it should matter)
I have tried turning on/off DMZ on router.
I have my IPv4 as static IP for my server.
I am running the server with admin privs.
I have turned off my UAC.
If i run netstat -an -p UDP: (bolded are server ports)
my launch param is -> (port is clearly 2302. well im able to join it over lan on port 2302 so it should be)
start /REALTIME "arma2" /min arma2oaserver.exe -port=2302 "-config=instance_11_Chernarus\config.cfg" "-cfg=instance_11_Chernarus\basic.cfg" "-profiles=instance_11_Chernarus" -name=instance_11_Chernarus "-mod=@DayZ_Epoch;@DayZ_Epoch_Server;" "-noCB" "-maxMem=2047" "-cpuCount=2" "-exThreads=1" "-noSound"
When i test for router/windows portforwarding policy, it says its set up correctly.
So.,.. i launch the game... and this is what it says when i check for the ports...
Timed out??? why.... i have the server running on port....
So i check my port again.... coz i mean why not...
yea... so i had all the ports that i could possibly want open (and not want... but im desperate)
after all, if it was not open and i had server running on the port, it would say connection refused!
then you might ask well... is your static ip really 192.168.0.50? YES IT IS
then i got really confused... and said Halpppp!!!!
is there anyone out there who can help me without saying 'derp did you check portforward.com?'
