Server issue I havent seen addressed...

[blainecopeland]

My wife and i are trying to run a server. We were able to figure out how to basically LAN it in our private network. When I asked my brother to join, he was only getting the "can't reach server" or the "connection timed out".(My wife and I are both playing on laptops in the same house on the same internet connection. My brother plays on his laptop across the country.) We are running on tekkit classic with the recommended build. I don't want to use port forwarding and when we tried to use hamachi, that failed. Is there any other way to run it or something i didnt do right?

Below are my two properties files i have used.

Thread moved to the place for this.

Hamachi does not need an IP set in the server config. Are you certain that the host computer's IP is the one that's being used for the connection, and that both the host computer and your brother's client are on the same Hamachi network and show a valid connection? I have no issues using Hamachi to host a small server. The other things that interfere with that are AV/firewall software on either end, and a pre-set port-forward that's confusing the host or the client.
