Friend can't join tekkit server

[Wakigo]

I made one with hamichi following this guy's video

> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eic6DJc2N4M

And my friend can't still join... I got my public firewall down, I got my hamichi ip set up and running, i checked with command and it's the same, and still she gets that she can't connect... does she need hamichi too or it's just my computer?

She also needs it. Spelling it right would be a good start.

She got it and still timed out and failed connection... and sorry about spelling :P

Need more info. What have you tried?

Try port forwarding on your router, find your public IP, give your friend that and see if it works. Make sure you set up the port forwarding first, its usually pretty simple to do, depending on your router.

I don't know how to port forward :/

I tried having her join with localhost as server address which didn't work, I tried Hamachi and it didn't work either... I don't know any other ways of trying except port forwarding and I have no idea how to

localhost means log into your own computer.

If you can't get hamachi to work, port forwarding is the only real way to go. It's not hard, just look at the instruction book for your router, log into it, and go to port settings. Forward port 25565 TCP and UDP to your computer and that's it. There are also many applications that run scripts to do it for you if you put in the make and model of your router but it's simple enough that you should be able to do if you're running a server.

Okay so I did something in hamachi that changed the ipv4 address to the hamachi one and I don't know how to undo... i downloaded a program that did the port forward and it has a test thing that says it works. So Any idea how to change it back?

[Yuriy]

For the record, I don't use hamachi (for many, many reasons).

As for your question, I don't know what you're trying to ask me.

Would looking at this help a bit?

[Yuriy]

You may have not stopped the other server properly. Try restarting your computer.

If you're intent on using hamachi, this is where my help ends because I won't be able to provide any unless it's for general server problems.

No I'm trying to use the port forward which the program i got says it's ready to use and working. I just have to get the damn server launch working x.x i restarted, turn internet off and on, shut computer for 2 hours, and nothing... still says it's up

[Yuriy]

In that case, I would post this as a bug report with all the necessary logs on the Tekkit SMP Bug forum because that's an error I can kind of understand but I'm not familiar with it and I don't know how to fix it. The eggheads in the bug forum should have better luck if you provide them all the information they need.

so I got the thing to use another port and now it says the connection to it is working, and tekkit server bat thing goes to railcraft which people tell me means you can make a server by then, i make one with the ip but now it says it cant reach server in tekkit...

[LazyBoot]

Looking at the screenshot you posted, it could look like you swapped the first 2 parts of the server ip...

Re you both on the same channel, and re you the host in hamachi?

Also there may be some main computer program using it.

Try changing the port in Server.properties

Well now the problem is no matter what port i use, it says something is already being hosted in it....

Make sure server-port is set to default in your server.properties file and make sure server-ip is blank, then try restarting the server and send me the server.log file after.

If you set server-ip it forces the server to bind to only 1 network interface, also, if you type the wrong IP here the server will not be able to bind to any internface resulting in the message above. You should never need to bind your server to a specific IP unless your running more than 1 tekkit server on the same computer. By leaving server-ip blank, you're telling the server to accept connections from all interfaces including Hamaci.

I run a server that you can connect to with or without Hamachi. You shoudn't need to forward ports if your using Hamachi because it makes a network tunnel between the server and the client bypassing the NAT forwarding on your router. If you need more help setting up Hamachi let me know.

Also, make sure you type stop into the server console to close your server before restarting it.
