Legonick357 Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Hello. I am hosting a Tekkit server from one of my home computers. It is port-forwarded and my friends can connect to it. However, since it takes up so much memory I wish to play from another computer on the same network. It would not let me do this and "Refuses to Connect". Is there a way to work around this and play on my server on the local network? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theprolo Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Are you sure you have your local IP right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legonick357 Posted November 10, 2012 Author Share Posted November 10, 2012 would that be different than the IP i give out to people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omicron Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Yes. If people are connecting to you from outside your local network (i.e. from the internet), they are using your public IP. If you need to connect to your server on the local network, you need to use its LAN IP. It usually looks like this: 192.168.something.something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linear_Spoon Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Use the server computer's private IP address to connect to it from within your home network (most likely something like 192.168...) Your friends will need your public IP address (nothing should have changed there) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legonick357 Posted November 10, 2012 Author Share Posted November 10, 2012 hmm... I tried the Local Network IP (found it in the Ipconfig) but it still doesn't work =( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theprolo Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Make sure it's the IPv4. You could also try adding :25565 on to the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legonick357 Posted November 10, 2012 Author Share Posted November 10, 2012 ok thank you everybody! after trying everything in the Config i found the working one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legonick357 Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 Wow, it's working. however, I last about 5 seconds because it lags so bad, then it runs out of memory even though i gave Tekkit SO MUCH. Do i possible have to restart my router for it to be playable? edit: also i checked with task manager, my memory stays at a steady 30% during this whole event Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
