how do I use webadmin from outside my router?

[legacy-mdhutson]

Ive got alot of things about this game figured out but this beats me...

I am at a remote location, and I try to use an internet broswer (IE in this case) to access my server's IP address to check out the webadmin. I cant seem to get a page to come up. I have forwarded and opened all ports on my router necessary to run a server including 80 for webadmin.

This is what I type to try and access it.
'http://68.10.143.217:80'

Is this the correct format for accessing my server on port 80?

Should I be using a different port?

i would try that..your syntax is correct..also ensure you aren't behind a firewall..i can't access my webadmin from work..but can from an open internet connection..

also..can you view it from inside your LAN to verify you have it setup properly?

Use whatever port you like. I use something other than 80, 8080, etc simply due to other things living on those.

Forward whatever port you are using to the machine running the game server / web admin.

Some ISPs block port 80 so try another port like 8080. Also make sure you servers network IP matches that of your router IP in the port forward menu. Lastly make sure the ports are open in your firewall. Your network IPs are dynamic with DHCP enabled.

Yeah Ill try switching it to something other than 80 and see if that works. If not then Ill know I cant access my webadmin from work. Heh!

Thanks guys.

First when you set up your server..

Remember to check Advertise server- and set a Admin Password...

Then type this in your browser:

http://68.10.143.217/ServerAdmin/

Now you will get a box....

Usernamer = admin

PW = Is the one you set when you start your server...:rolleyes:

uh .. thanks I think.. but I already knew all of that..

I was just wondering why port 80 didnt seem to let me connect from work..

I have now changed the port to 8888 and will try again some time

Port 80 is blocked by alot of home based internet providers.. I know the cable companies do this as regular practice.. But just from safety's standard, you should use something other than the standard port 80 so you don't have people stumbling on the web admin interface.

Did changing the port work for you?

[legacy-mdhutson]

yeah I chose a different port and it worked fine from my friends house

now to see if I can access it from work.. muahaha
:D
