UnrealIRCd Forums

Hey im new to this forum and kinda new to Unreal but i did have it working 2 years ago haha XD anyway i am having a bit of a delimier i can't get my friend to connect to my IRC server nor can i connect from my nabiours wifi internet

here is the error i get in my message log thats how it is useally displayed i changed my IP there for security purposes but yea thats the error i get but i can make it work if i use my local IP 127.0.0.1 and only i can connect from within my network but if i try my real IP i get that error message and unreal won't start so here is my listen block

that's because you are using an external router like a cable modem and unreal can't bind to that IP, you have to bind to a local IP that in on the same machine as unreal then do port forwarding from the router to the machine Unreal is running from.

okay so i have binded my local IP
that works perfectly find and connects to IRC perfectly fine .

i forwarded my ports on my router and when my friend tries to login into my IRC channel with my real IP he can't login evan though i have forwarded my ports and i am on virgin media

here is what he gets
could someone help or maybe on teamviewer

It's possible your provider is blocking IRC ports.

i already phoned them up and there open. all i know from checking my router is it is a DHCP IP but i have enabled routing though the regedit

i just can't understand why it won't work :S its odd
