Trying to make a game server for my grandkids but it is not working. What, do I have to type a certain number of words before this thing will make a ticket?
Reproduction Steps
Restarted the gameserver instance
Verified the client computer can reach the server itself
Made sure everything was updated and the clients are running the same compatible version of the game
Tried recreating the server instance, verifying each step as I did it.
What does “it is not working” mean? What error message do you get when trying to connect? Screenshots and logs would be helpful. The relatively new version of AMP (which I see you are on) has an option to toggle the network configuration in Minecraft to the new “nethernet”. Have you tried that yet?
Not working is simply that the clients cannot connect to it. The only error messages are the clients saying the are unable to connect (except my son’s PC which connects fine). The server does say Nethernet is “Waiting” while IPv4 is “Listening”. Event log on AMP only shows when I log on and not really anything else.
It is probably your router blocking the connections. Make sure you are port forwarding the needed ports through the router to the server. If you have that set up then your ISP may be using CGNAT. If that is the case you will need a forwarding service to connect.
Check the non-working clients to see if the game is allowed to communicate through the firewall. Unless they are on a different subnet, that should be the only issue.
Three of the clients are tablets and one is a Windows 11 laptop with the firewall turned off. It’s odd that the one PC can connect to the game instance with no problem, but none of the others can. I’ve been checking everything I know and testing the networking as much as I can. I’m a network engineer, so there are a few things I know how to check, lol. Everything points to the clients having nothing blocking them. I can bring up the AMP login page immediately on each one of them with no problem, but they just will not talk to the game instance.
I’m betting it’s one checkbox somewhere or one setting that needs toggled, but darned if I can figure out which one.
I even deleted the instance and created a new one, but had the exact same results.
I did indeed add the server as shown in the video. It worked fine on my son’s PC, but failed on the laptop and tablets. This is the issue I’m trying to figure out. Why it works on one device but not on others when all devices were set up the same way. It’s driving me crazy(crazier).
