I have a big problem with setting up my server, I have never done it.

I tried both in-game server and a dedi server with the program, here's my config:

And it keeps telling me: TCP Socket: Bind failed, no matter what.

Any help?

This makes me want to quit LFS, I have been messing around with this crap for 7 hours. Why in the actual hell is it so hard to make a damn server?!?!?

7 hours?

It means it cannot create port 63390. Probably your firewall, some random anti virus shizzle or other over-protectional crap interferes with it.

Because you are not very informative about what you are actually doing (what OS, what programs, what you've done the last 7 hours) it's very difficult to give good hints. Simply saying 'HEY IT WONT WORK' doesnt get you far in most cases. Like now.

This has not much to do with LFS btw, every game which you try to host would give similar problems.

LFS has so complicated systems.

Windows 7,

Tried all of my IPs, tried searching for solutions, tried everything, still. I'm running with firewall ON and anti virus, I'll remove them both and re-try.

I tried making an in-game server, settings are like this:

The server is online in LFS World, but whenever someone tries to connect, it just connects for a while and disconnects?

Good.. There is progress

So you are capable of running a LFS host on your computer now. The only problem left is your router.

You need to login to your router, find the port forwarding table and redirect port 63390 TCP and UDP traffic to your internal IP address.

What is your internal IP address? You can find that by using Windows 7 Start button=>Search box at bottom=>type cmd [enter].. you get a black DOS box. Type ipconfig ... Somewhere it mentions a 192.168.x or 10.0.x address.

Thats your internal address which you need to fill out in your router port forwarding screen.

When you save that, it should be possible to connect to your server and stay on it.

Two things,

First of all, I don't even know my routers name and password :o I tried loads of stuff that is usually the name and password for people as default.

Second, I'm afraid I'll screw something up and break something, lmao.

What is the name/type of the router?

Being adventurous always gives risks but adding some port forwarding details to a table is quite harmless

It's a Thomson TG784

holy crap im inside my router now. What do i do?

Did you tried no username and no password already (just nothing) ?

How sweet

Quote from Ikskast :

What do i do?

Follow that guide (link above). Fill out 63390.

Maybe your computer name appears in that config screen. Saves you from entering IP address manually.

Reading through that my pupils turned about 74% smaller and my brain's color turned blue.

I didn't get an actual crap what ports where who when why what who with wat.

What ports do I need to place there? I understand now where the port thing is.

just 63390. (the number configured @lfs config file, here; /port=63390)

But you need to give in a start and a stop, so 63390 - 63390 will do.

It's actually not very complicated

Your setting up a road sign basically. So the router knows to which computer to redirect 63390 traffic to.. It has no clue now.

Uh, on the last picture at the guide you gave me, there are two larger boxes, and in the middle the ''ANY'', what do I put there? I got the ports written.

Confusing and overly complicated config screen but I think it has to look like this;



(But then 63390 of course)

After that you still need to forward it to your PC

If I use the in-game one anyone cant STILL DAMN CONNECT and if I use dedicated program server thing it says TCP Socket: Bind Failed.

Port forward didn't seem to change anything -OR- I just suck like crap at this stuff.

Yup, final conclusion

Did my port forwarding seem done right?

Anyone?

Sorry for posting in estonian but it easier to explain it as my englis is bad.

Kui sul digitv on siis mine teleka kaudu ja otsi sealt üles ava pordid. Telli see (see on tasuta). Siis mine portforwarding vms leheküljele ja otsi sealt enda ruuter üles ja tee selle järgi. Kui selelga hakkama ei saa võin ise ka seletada sulle.

Sittagi aru ei saa. Mul ei ole digitv kah

I FINALLY GOT IT WORKING!

Thank you so much everyone!

I knew you could do it
