Help setting up server

Like in the router? Port ip 0.0.0.0 instead of my internal ip? Or have the batch file use 0.0.0.0 (it already does)

 

in router settings

 

Says invalid ip. Cant use 0.0.0.0 for port forwarding apparently
[DOUBLEPOST=1526012441][/DOUBLEPOST]The name of my server is set and the maxplayer setting is at 50, so it looks like the batch file is doing something im not familiar with

Do i start the server using the batch file or the rust.dedicated exe? And do i edit things other than the batch file itself?

 

Start server using the bat file I gave you and edit things like what?

 

This is what the server bat looks like (password is different ofc) but when i bring up the server, it doesnt list the name i gave and it says the player cap is 500 when its set to 50 in here, so is there something else i edit or is it just the bat file?

So far iv done everything right and its not working :/

 

You missed ^ at the end of some of them 4 by the look of it

 

Thats all fixed. Still doesnt show up in the server list

What i do know btw is that i do not have a static internal ip. I rarely leave so i wont have to monitor it much

Also just to check and be safe, what do i look for in the firewall to make sure its not interfering?
[DOUBLEPOST=1526014314][/DOUBLEPOST]Also dumb question, but do i need to restart my computer and/or router when i make changes to the ports? I dont remember having to but i also have a shit memory

 

You dont need to restart the pc as to windows firewall what version of windows are you on and see above post I uploaded the fix for you

 

Using windows 10. I saw the new batch file and already fixed mine xD

 

open Windows Firewall. In the left pane, click Advanced settings. In the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security dialog box, in the left pane, click Inbound Rules, and then, in the right pane, click New

 

Yep, im there so far
[DOUBLEPOST=1526015202][/DOUBLEPOST]Alright so i made a new rule that applies to upd only, and affects all local ports and allows connection

 

if it still wont work do the same for outbound rules

 

Alright thats setup (i didnt specify the port). Ill give it a few mins and then use that site from earlier to check if the port is open
[DOUBLEPOST=1526016761][/DOUBLEPOST]Still says port is closed :/

 

Any updates on what else i could try?

 

Did you check if port was open when server is running if not then you need to check router settings if that is not the problem do you have any antivirus software running

 

I wouldnt know if anythings running id have to check
[DOUBLEPOST=1526020122][/DOUBLEPOST]Ok so all thats running is windows defender which iv never touched. I did check the port while the server was running. What would i look for in my router settings to make sure

 

defender is ok it does not block ports the thing about windows 10 its not the best for running a server from if you have windows 7 pc use that but it needs a lot if ram

 

I only have this laptop. My server also wont be dedicated, i just want friends to be able to connect

 

How much ram does it have

 

12g. Was told i needed 6g or so
