    Hey guys,

    So I made a server for rust and every time I try to start up a server I keep getting this error message. I've been trying to solve it for the past few days and no matter what I do I can't seem to get rid of these messages. I don't think Oxide has anything to do with these errors because when I deleted the files from my server I still got the errors. If anyone could help me fix this problem that would be very much appreciated! (Error Message is at bottom of image). Also i'm using a .bat file to launch the server. I also have everything port forwarded correctly, I've checked many many times. So the problem that i'm having is that I can't nor can anyone else join my server and it doesn't show up on the list of servers. Thanks again for your help!

    You most likely have a server or program running on port 28015 already. Check your Task Manager for any duplicate RustDedicated.exe processes and kill them. The other possibility is that you're setting an IP address that isn't available to the system, usually remote/external instead of the local IP.

    So after 5 days I finally solved it. It was really just one barrier after another but for this final one my solution was to use my IPV4 Address instead of my external IP address in my .bat file... Pretty rookie mistake.

    Trying my ipv4 IP now. i have the same issue



    **UPDATE**
    IT WORKED! :D
    I used my LAN ip address instead or my WLAN. I didnt think that would work, cause ive been using WLAN for a while. After probably 3 weeks it stopped working.

    I did the same mistake but if you change it back to your IPV4 IP then can other people still join by typing your external ip?
