1. So I just bought a server for my house so I can host rust off it. I just setup remote settings on the server so I can manage it from my computer in my office. My next step was to try and figure out port forwarding. Here is my problem.

    I don't know how to fill this out in spectrum. I dont know if to use "GAMES & APPLICATIONS" tab or add rule because games and applications has an option for steam client or steam server and you have to put in an ip address. I was think my ipv4 but i dont think it worked. Also have tried filling out the tab, "ADD RULE" but i dont know if i am doing it right. If someone can inform me what to do exactly that would be great.
     
  2. Is it a dedicated server box that's in your home behind your router?
    And for the fist picture if it does not have rust or rust server then pick steam server and use 0.0.0.0 for the ip it will cover all ips

  3. I mean its like a computer size but it has an xeon e3 1220 and 32 gb ram 1 tb hdd also the 0.0.0.0 didnt work, it said invalid IP Address
     
  4. Then try external ip if that does not work try IPv4 one
     
  5. still not working
     
  6. What part is not working you logging into server or it starting
     
  7. Hope this helps. I don't have the same router but this should work. Also getting your IPv4 is easy just amke sure you do the following on your server. In CMD type ipconfig. look for the active network adapter and then use that ipv4.

    EG:
    cmd_2017-12-31_13-35-29.png

    chrome_2017-12-31_13-30-09.png
     
  8. I got it to work some how, but what does this other port 28016 for?
     
  9. It's for the rcon.
     
  10. So how do i get others to connect? client.connect (ipv4)? Do i need to use a port after the ipv4?
     
  11. If port forwarded correctly it would show up in the list. They can also use client.connect publicip:port

    Stupid emojis
    Code:
    Client.connect publicip:port
     
  12. I can connect to it using my ipv4:28015 but other people cant. I also tried with my public ip address:28015 and it still didnt work. Do you think it has something to do with the bat file to start the server?
     
  13. No. You can connect using ipv4 because you're on the same network as the server. You probably didn't port forward correctly. Make sure you forwarded the ports as you set them in the batfile. Not UDP and TCP. Look at the picture I sent. It should look something like that
    [DOUBLEPOST=1514761358][/DOUBLEPOST]To be honest it seems you spent a lot of money on that server. It would've been cheaper to rent a dedicated server than to buy one and go through all the trouble.
     
  14. can you send me a bat file that works for you maybe thats my problem.
     
  15. This is my test server's sart.bat file. There's unneeded things in there like :start
