Issues With Port Fowarding
Ive been trying to port foward to start a Valheim server with my friends but no matter what I cant seem to get the ports 2456-2458 open. Ive opened them through port fowarding on my router, Ive tried...
The modem I have is the Arris TM822A and my ISP is Optimum Online
I have my port forwarding setup like this
Service Name - Valheim
Protocol - TCP/UDP
External/internal Port Range - 2456-2458
Internal IP Address - 192.168.1.80
Also I am able to join the server locally but my friends are not able to due to the port.
> I have my port forwarding setup like this [...]
Ok. Does it need/use all three of those ports? Are your friends
specifying the right address and port (if required)? With my weak
psychic powers, I can't see what they're doing any better than I can see
what you're doing.
> [...] I am able to join the server locally [...]
Which kind of "locally"? Using the server's LAN IP address
("192.168.1.80", I gather), or the router's WAN/Internet IP address, or
both, or what? Are you specifying a port?
> [...] but my friends are not able to due to the port.
Does their "not able" come with some kind of error message?
> [...] due to the port.
I don't know what that means to you. _I_ haven't yet determined the
cause of your problem. It's not immediately clear to me that you have,
either.
I appreciate the help but I actualy got it working today thanks

For the benefit of other people who might turn up here in the same boat, it might help if you explained how you rescued your network.
