Registering at the master server

[Korhonen]

So i had another problem with RoR. I want to make a server with rorserver.exe (a server anyone can join), but every time i try it says something like "can't connect the master server, your server is not registered".

Is this caused by my game because it's the latest beta version?

Edit: See the image, please.

did you forward your router's ports?

theres a ton of tutorials for whatever router you have here:

portforward.com

Eh, this may be a stupid question, but do i need to forward my ports if i'm connected to internet through a modem?

[KART35]

if you have a router of any sort, you need to forward your ports. also, if your ISP uses a proxy server, you cant run a server :-\

ill try to figure out how to check in the meantime

(note: try the chat tab near the top of this page. if you have the latest version of java installed, you should be good to go)

i found this place: http://www.lagado.com/proxy-test

seems to work. 2nd line should tell you what you have

Ok, thanks!

Alright, got the server up and running, but i can't connect to it.
Now the cmd window looks like this:

If the server is running on the same computer you play with try connecting to 127.0.0.1
