Can't connect to my own server through external IP
Posted: Sat Sep 29, 2012 5:57 pm
Hello there. I wonder what's the reason I can't join my own server if I'm trying to connect to my external IP address?
My network setup is:
Two computers - one is the workstation (this is where I'm trying to connect from), and the other one is the so-called "mini-server", this is where the Zandronum server is hosted - are connected to the router, which has an external IP address and correctly setup port forwarding rules (forwards port 10666 UDP to server).
When I connect to my own server specifying local (in router's LAN) server IP, I connect successfully. However, when I specify my external IP (which is publically accessible from the internet), client hangs on "Requesting snapshot", and I get this in server console:
When I quit and try to connect again, this time it just hangs on "Connecting". I get this in server console:
Maybe someone knows what's going on? It worked perfectly last week and the only change I've done to my so-called "server" was NIC replacement, but its network settings are exactly the same as the old one's settings...
