Need help port forwarding Ac server at home ?
« on: September 25, 2020, 01:55:54 PM »
Hi  , I am trying to turn my old pc into game server for AC . For nearly 2 days now i cannot get it connect to the AC lobby Ip.

I have opened the ports in the firewall , and on the router , tried turning off and on dmz .

I always end up with this error log

"RESPONSE: ERROR,INVALID SERVER,CHECK YOUR PORT FORWARDING SETTINGS
LOBBY COULD NOT BE RACHED, SHUTTING SERVER DOWN"

ISP is belong, using dynamic ip  Dchp is static for the server pc
op sys is windows 8.1
2 pc's are connected to the router

any help is appreciated.

You might need a static internal IP for the server (don't allow dhcp to assign it just anything) & a "port forwarding" for the incoming traffic, routed to the server.   
The router needs to know what to do with requests coming to a certain port, otherwise it can only route 'responses', not direct requests.

I've set my local servers up by dividing the used IP range up. i.e. restricting the DHCP allowed addresses to a restricted set only (200-255 iirc on the last segment), and so I can use anything outside of that for servers.

Apologies if you're way ahead of me, reading your post isn't quite clear on this point to me.

But it is possible that your ISP blocks certain (known server) ports, 80, 443, 21 - however it's also possible that something is hogging whatever port you need.  Worth checking both.
