Port Forwarding CAX30 just doesn't work...need help please.
I've followed all the tutorials on how to properly Port Forward this router. I'm trying to run an Ark: Survival Ascended Server and i have set all of the ports to be forwarded. However when i go onli...
got the VM running / ASM downloaded and installed with SteamCMD ... set the server up and network to bridged. Port Forwarded the VM and started the server. Same issue, still couldn't connect and it couldn't find the server.
I called xfinity and am having them send me one of their modems so i can get away from netgear entirely. See if that helps... will post back here with my findings.
I'm done till then.. ty again for all the help
That is really weird at that point, does it at least allow a local connection via the console commands?
If it can connect locally to the VM at least, then one other potential troubleshooting step is allowing the router to respond to pings in its security settings.
Other than that, it would be interesting to see if the Xfinity rental router works any differently, but it is strange to see a VM not work, especially if a LAN client cannot connect.
PS, the LAN browser in ARK is very unreliable, even for me, it does not show up reliably, and I typically have to use the console command to connect. In my case, I simply set a steam launch command so that the game simply connects automatically to the server once launched, via +connect IP:port +password "YOURPASSWORD" (without the quotation marks). For example, if the local server is at IP 192.168.1.10:7777 and has a password of abc123, it would look like +connect 192.168.1.10:7777 +password abc123
In my case, that made it so I don't have to bother with the server browser.
