Phoenix Dedicated Server (beta)

[DbyMA]

Is anyone playing with this at the moment?

I have it running on a spare machine here, but I can't join the session. I can join onto another dedicated server, just not the one I'm running!

You on the same Lan ? Can you file share and Ping ok ?
What OS you running on both machines ?

[HiroboFreak]

I can't join yours either.

Have you configured your firewall/router to open the appropriate ports?

[Ade_Law]

if your running on the same lan as your server you have to connect to it locally rather than through the internet.

when you go to join the session you will see it advertised twice in the list one local and one on the net. join the local one and it should work.

The local firewall on the machine hosting Phoenix was no longer in adaptive mode (i.e. fixed and locked), so despite forwarding the UDP ports from the Internet router, it was blocking both local and remote access attempts.

I can now connect locally, thanks Ade. HiroboFreak would you care to try to connect again?

cheers,

There's some strange interactions between some of the non-standard applications I'm using (virtualisation and security management) and the Phoenix server I'm still working through. Though, it looks like Phoenix is doing what it says on the tin

..... HiroboFreak would you care to try to connect again?

Being in Australia, I was catching ZZZZ'z when you posted.
Sorry, I'll try again if I see your server running.

I use "Dennis" as my name in multiplayer.

Oops, nearly missed your post and had shut the service down. It's back up now however, and good morning

[HiroboFreak]

Can't get on sorry mate. I saw you join the other one though. :?

[DbyMA]

No worries. I need to bugger about with my security settings some more. Thanks for trying.

Can't seem to join a session if I setup a password always get a 'invalid password' error.

Anyone else get this?

Wait for the cringing with this one!!!! Just stick the ip address of the server in the DMZ!!!
