Ports wont forward!

[Blizzard]

*slaps self* Now you slap me. Now take your clothes off.

@mroe: Can you connect to the server from within the local network or from the server PC itself?

[mroedesigns]

Its not linnux that's causing the issue right now, because I havent switched over yet. I've got a laptop runing ubuntu, and one running windows seven. And I've been using the windows workstation so far. I was just saying I cant use hamachi because when I go live, I'll be running it off the ubuntu laptop.

And yes blizz, I can connect through localhost perfectly fine. :/

Wow weird 

Let's note everything up:

-You can connect trough localhost
-You will go live with ubuntu, but using linux now.
-You set up everything fine
-You used internal and external IP
-You tried more ports; 268, 270 and 54269, 54269

Ubuntu is a linnux os. Im running windows 7 right now, but when i go live I'll be running on ubuntu. But other then that, yeah.

Edit ::

So after reseting my router a few times and playing around with a few settings, I got it to open port 3306. 54269 still won't open for some reason, so I'm thinking that my ISP may block that port, which is strange.

For some reason, the server won't start though. It's giving me a 'permission denied - bind(2)' error. The only thing I changed  n the config file was the port number. I tried it with using 127.0.0.1 for the host like usual, and with my internal ip. canyouseeme says the port is open, as well as a few other port checkers. So that means it's gotta be an error due to something I've configured wrong

no, it means that the port is already in use by another program. two process can't listen at the same port. you will have to use another port, specifically 3306 is used by your mysql database. but ya this is looking more and more like the ISP's fault, you should call them and ask them to unblock it.

Hrumph. That's rather annoying.
Thanks for the resolution though

Here is a Port fowarding guide that I know of and it may help you.  Read through it, gather what it has to say, then click the link at the bottom to read more.  May help you, may not.  If all else fails...  Ask someone there, Most have dealt with ports on a regular basis since before 2000.

*sigh*
for the last time I know what port forwarding is, I know how to do it, and I know I'm doing correctly at this point, since it worked with a common port. Which means, as Ryex confirmed, that it's probably my ISP blocking access to the port for one reason or another.

people should read more than the first post :V haha

You called them already?

[mroedesigns]

You called them already?

No, I've had a bit of a rough night. Not even sure why I'm on right now, but I knew if I didn't reply to this now I'd forget to. I'll figure it out at some point down the road, for now it's not a problem as I can run locally for development.

Man, your project sounds very promising, If your project is ready, is it going to be up for long? and how about "expansion packs"

Thanks, I appreciate it! Right now the plan looks something like this. I'm shooting to start alpha/beta testing around May, if not sooner. I'll run alpha testing for probably a month or two, depending on what needs to be done and how that goes. Once the game goes live, I plan on maintaining it for a while. I'm not going to start thinking about expansion packs before I even have the first game close to finished, but it all depends on how well accepted the game is, the player base, as well as what I'm doing at that point in time.

I would love to help with expansion packs, because Im better at working at an already running and nice game, thinkingit should get better and better!

It looks like you are actually getting on with it, post some screenshots! Wait maybe its better to go further at your project topic xd
