I recently set up a fshost sserver for my Air cadet squadron but have one major technical problem no cadet can find it! even with the ip the program gives and it does appear with the master server.
Strangely i can log in fine with the ip address  it gives

help will very much be appreciaited

well first give me the IP (in a PM if you wish) and ill see if I can connect I think this is the same problem i am having with Sams server, I just dont have the appropriate ports open.

ok i'll run up the server tongiht at around 8GMTpm

do you have a router?

if no, check latter this post...

if yes... check up in the multiplayer forum. you need certain ports on your computer for FS to work. and firewalls need to be correctly set as well.

if your router has a name and password other than:

user:admin
pass:password (or no password)

then you need to request access or have the ports open from your network admin.

On what IP may I ask?

172.188.31.184 this is ip for today as it keeps changing due to the server not being permanently on

ouch, a dynamic IP. you wont get a 24/7 with that.

now is that your WAN-IP* or your LAN-IP**? cause if it's a LAN, we can't connect. if it's WAN, try and query your ISP about Statc IP. this way you can run a 24/7 without any problems (IP wise... )

* - the IP thats used on the internet.
** - the IP used in home networks, usually starts with 192.168.xxx.xxx or 10.71.xxx.xxx, not always the case though
