JmoolZZ Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Title: Server connection fail Version: 3.1.2 OS: Mac OSX Lion Java Version: 1.7.0_06 Description of Problem: Well I have been running a Tekkit Classic server from my dorm, and use hamachi so that my friends in the other dorms can connect to my server. Two of my friends can connect to my server just fine from their dorm and have a green dot on hamachi. But my other friend cannot connect from his dorm, and has a blue dot on hamachi. Every time he joins the server, he joins then gets booted. He is on a PC as well as the other two that CAN connect. I know I cannot port forward because I cannot access the schools network preferences.. Would be it be something on his computer? Also as it would seem each dorm building has its own different WiFi network thats why I have to use hamachi for my friends outside. Help is very much appreciated! Quote
scroll tro0l Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Blue dot in Hamachi is usually a client issue (have your friend check antivirus software, reboot, etc.). You could also try Tunngle. Quote
JmoolZZ Posted February 13, 2013 Author Posted February 13, 2013 Tunngle would not work because I have a mac. I personally checked his antivirus software and his firewalls and they are all set to let hamachi through. But I believe that it is something to do with the IPs and ports in the hamachi settings, I am just not sure what it would be. Quote
Teraku Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Blue dots in Hamachi are what annoyed me the most about it. Basically, it can't establish a direct connection and relays the connection through someone else. I suggest killing off all Firewall and Antivirus software (Not uninstall, just make sure it's not running. Not inactive, but completely killed.) and power off/on. Quote
JmoolZZ Posted February 13, 2013 Author Posted February 13, 2013 Oh we tried that to we shut all his antivirus stuff off, he had Malware bytes anti malware scan and McAfee, both were shut off, and it was still in the blue dot state.. still think that it is the the peer/server connection settings that something has to match.. Its sad to say, but me and him have gone through tons of these threads and have found no solution what-so-ever.. Quote
Teraku Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 The problem is in Hamachi being very unreliable and will sometimes simply not work. Make sure both ends have their firewalls shut off completely, not just your friend. Quote
JmoolZZ Posted February 13, 2013 Author Posted February 13, 2013 Yes that is true as well. My firewall is always off as is his, and the other two people that can connect and have green dots have their firewalls off as well. So its just really frustrating.. Quote
