Kyle2Boss Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Hello! Me and my bro are trying to set up our own tekkit server. Except, i can't get him to join. I've tried all the ip's in the "CMD" commands. usually because were on the same network, i don't have to portforward. we always just use the IPV4 adress or just the default gateway. is there anything else i would have to do?

flerbergerber Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Try using the IP 'localhost', but with no apostrophes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle2Boss Posted September 8, 2012 Author Share Posted September 8, 2012 I can do that on my comp, but on my bro's it doesn't work for him, we've literally tried every ip, i even tried to use Whatsmyip.org but to no avail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flerbergerber Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Well, whatismyip.org tells you the public IP, so that can't work. You two are connected to the same wifi, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellocreeper Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Go to CMD Type (ON THE SERVER COMPUTER) IPconfig in the black window Look for IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.12 Or whatever yours is Have him connect to that "192.168.0.12:port") Since its localhost hopefully he wont need the port open ( I dont think so) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brentnauer Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Check your firewall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disconsented Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Is he within or outside your network? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theprolo Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 It might be your computer's firewall blocking it. try doing a cmd ping or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnathan_A_M Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 A couple clarifications, but no real solution i believe: "localhost" is a literal local, it must be running on the same machine. Even inside your own network, you have to port forward, especially if he is trying to use your global address. Also: is your brother using the "ip:port" format or just "ip", try the opposite and see if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle2Boss Posted September 9, 2012 Author Share Posted September 9, 2012 Yes, We are literally inside the same room. I'll try the ping thing in a sec, Johnathen, we used to be able just to use the ip and connect, but now i don't know, i'll also check my firewall. *EDIT* I tried doing the cmd ping, but i really didn't understand the jibberish it was saying, it was saying somthing about <IPV4 Only> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnathan_A_M Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Yes, We are literally inside the same room.

Why do i find my port? if you mean how do you find your port, it should be in the server configuration file. The default is 25565. If you truely mean why: it's to tell the connecting person where to talk to the computer at. for instance: source engine games like to use 25525, and lower-level things like to use port 8 or something. it just makes sure you don't connect to the wrong program/computer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZombieWarpig Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 you do need to open the port and also you need to take the port number out of the server property file then you can local connect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
