lolingdevil Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 I have been messing around with the server files recently and also set up my own server for my friends and myself. I can join the server, but my friends cannot. I tried giving them my IP address so they could put it in and search for the server, they find the server but cannot join it. Is there something I am doing wrong ? is there anything else I need to do to let my friends join ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lolingdevil Posted December 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 I made an exception in the options of the firewall for the proper ports but it still doesn't work ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuBz Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 If as the title suggests it's a lan server then you could turn the firewall off completely... but sadly it seems you want outsiders to your home/work to have access as well.. pretty darn sure as suggested it's a firewall issue.. has similar problems..def worth a good read about the internet for ALL the ports to open.. not only do you need the game posts but steam ports as well.. I'n a small rush or's I'd look them all up for you.. but I found them somewhere and sorted my home server for outside access..if opening up wide ranges maybe password and give thats to the guys you wish to access it only!
