According to the 2D server window, I am able to connect, but then get disconnected. In my client, I receive a message about "Connection Failed. No response from server on UDP port. {insert IP address here}." I disabled the port forwarding and received an error about the TCP and UDP ports not working and actually lists the ports. So as far as I can tell, both UDP and TCP is forwarded correctly and the program is accessing it. Windows built in firewall was also forwarded correctly as well.
I also did a netstat -a and saw both ports showing up, only when running the server program.
Now, I am unable to run the 3D server due to no graphics card. I use Remote Desktop connection to access this server, so a graphics card was never needed.
I've come to the conclusion that either the 2D server has a bug in how it handles UDP packets with the 1.0198 build, OR there is something else going on here that is terribly fouling up the server program.
Also, I have three NIC cards in the machine, and I made sure to set the proper local IP. Would a 10.0.0.xxx local IP be a problem? I know it is not the standard 192.x.x.xxx setup.
As well, should the CPU bar in the server window be RED with a value of 92 and a red 5 below it?
Any help, will be appreciated.
Side note: The server did show up in the Public list, but had the same error when I tried to connect to it, instead of the direct IP.
Code: Select all
Solution. Issue was due to a Direct X missing component.
Reinstalling Direct X 9 fixed the Server problem I was experiencing.
