' Wrote:Well, I managed to get Ioncross working enough so that I have a small test server up and running.
It should show up as:
Turret View Test
192.168.1.100
Password = "turrettime"
Startup is in Penn, but with 1.8 billion credits and friendly to all factions. That should be enough for testers to fit out any ship they desire.
EDIT: I would be interested in someone setting up a European timezone (and ping) server to test it as well. I am sure you guys in the northern hemisphere dont want to be testing with the equivalent of our ANZLAG!
Unless you make sure your router forwards incoming data on port 2302 to the local side IP 192.168.1.100 from the wan side, and that you tell people your wan side IP (the IP your router has on the internet), you aren't going to see anyone except yourself connect to your server.
The 192.168.1.100 IP you listed is in the non routable Class C network range. It is not visible on the internet.
To find the IP address you need to give people, you can open a browser on the machine running your server, and go to www.whatismyip.com. That IP address this site will show you, is the ip address people should add to a -s parameter in their shortcut, and as said, you need to make sure your router forwards incoming UDP traffic on port 2302 to the 192.168.1.100 address your server is having on the LAN side. You can also place that IP address in the routers Demilitarized Zone, but unless you have a local firewall properly configured on the server, its not recommendable.
