I have shunted this thread to a new topic, as it has nothing to do with
"Grab your modrex binaries here"
Just a few notes for those of you trying to run a server behind a firewall
1) if you run as standalone and dont try connecting to a hypergrid, you can
, just set the external_host_name and internal_ip_address in the region
file to your Local area network address, see example below
internal_ip_address="192.168.1.5" internal_ip_port="9000"
allow_alternate_ports="true" external_host_name="192.168.1.5"
2) if you want to run in grid mode or attached to a hypergrid outside you
local network (on the other side of a firewall) , if you donot have a
network router with full loopback support, FORGET IT you wont get it to work
You cannot connect to a server using your LAN ip if the server has
external_host_name set to your external IP
This is what happens
Your Viewersends a message to your server,
you server sends back the "external_host_name"
Your Viewer then trys to compleat the connection on the
"external_host_name"
Without Loopback, your network router drops the message and you server
sits there for a while waiting then gives up
I have been trying to make a workaround for this but havnt had much luck,
translating all the IP addresses fails, and i dont know why, because it
should work,
