16.7 Legacy Series / Port forwarding & DYNDNS doesn't seem to be working correctly
« on: January 17, 2017, 04:50:00 am »
Hi! I am starting here in this forum, though the issue may be related to something else.
I am attempting to create a dedicated server for the game Space Engineers. Working through the documentation they recommend a static IP (SO I am using my DYNDNS account!!) and that I forward the port that you set in the dedicated server console (27015).
No matter what I do, I seem to be unable to:
1. Successfully test the port 27015 using a port checking tool (I tested this by setting up the same forward for RDP to the server, and using an online port checking tool, it successfully validated the port)
2. From outside my LAN, i.e. from a friends house, access my home GUI for Opensense via my DYNDNS Hostname OR IP dynamically assigned by my ISP.
I am forward this traffic to a Windows 2012 R2 Server. I have setup the Firewall rule to accept incoming traffic on UDP 27015.
I am just at a loss and the companies documents are pretty trash lol. But, many other people are doing it, so why can't I?
Thank you!!
