Re: Not connecting
Are you behind a router? If so, you need to go into the router's port forward setup and open up ports 8087 and 8088, assuming you are using the default ports for the File Port and Packet Port setting.
Re: Not connecting
I went to the site the router has listed and I added the script as an allowed script
However I added it to the name of the computer it is on
There's a blank IP address box, I'm thinking it may have to be added there?
Not sure, I don't usually do this type of stuff
also the custom script add section has no ip address, you select a device and then it says
name - pmwhatever
in - 8087
out 8088
TCP
Time Out - the recommended number
so something simple is wrong
either I have to select the IP and not the device to add it there
or I did somethng wrong, which I don't see how, since it's pretty simple, you select device then add a custom application

Re: Not connecting
I tried to add the server to both the computer it is on and the actual IP address
Neither one connects
So not sure what is hanging it, it looks pretty simple
Oh one thing, there's a type of setting in the router for the script
blank is on right now
some of the others are
irc
directx
pptp
sip
h323
I tried blank and pptp
so that may be where I'm getting stuck
I guess the script is pptp based right?
so maybe trying that setting on both the computer name and the IP may do it
not sure ???

Re: Not connecting
the only other switch is TCP or UDP
I've been using tcp

Re: Not connecting
Do not remap the port numbers. 8087 in will also be 8087 out. Same for 8088. Both have to be open. What is your router make and model? Some will allow you to specify a range like 8087-8088. Others will require two separate port forward entries.adoni wrote: name - pmwhatever

Re: Not connecting
OK new day let's try this again, oh late last night I read a post here where the local network is block from the router so you need to test script outside the network, which makes no sense since players in the network should be able to play
The router is U verse 380 hgv or is it w
Pace americas is the tech company
I go to the ip site att uses
I make a 'custom' application
these are the steps
1. name it something
2. select TCP instead of UCP
3. set range from 8087 to 8088
4. set protocol timeout for TCP to 86400
5. map to host port it says leave blank for same port as above
6. set application type choices are (blank, tcp, irc, directx, sip, h323,pptp)
Before you can do these settings you must choose the device the script is on, lots of devices I see, phones, tablets, other computers, etc
So I chose the computer the script is on
It didn't work
Then I have an option of entering an IP number as a 'device' so I setup that and had to remove the script for saying the computer runs the script, only one device or an ip number can be listed as responsible for running a custom script
The only other setting is inside Win 7 on that computer
Inside the security firewall setting you check off two boxes for the script private and public
So win is open the file shows public and private access
I went to the att IP site to change the router info, I've tried a few different settings
nothing works
Now I read another user had his local network blocked from the script somehow but he tested it via his phone and it worked
so right now the only part I'm 'confused on' is I originally adjusted the settings for the name of the computer I didn't make a new device just for the static IP number
is there something to set in the script?
I put the static IP inside the script, did the name, a description, entered what ever the script said to enter, I would try to start the script and bang, it would say you need this or that, then it started
So I don't think I changed anything in the script to block it
So to me, it's simple
I have 3 things that could block this
a. the script was config'd wrong by me maybe
b. win 7 firewall must have script set to private and public
c. either the computer name or perhaps the IP as a device has to show that it has permission to run the script and the settings must be right
I work with scripts and cpanel all day on a large linux network racks of IP's lots of servers and thousands of domain names, I have 20 years admin on the net and 40 years coding
So usually it's download a script, ftp it, untar, chmod, config, it works instantly
Now this, it's a win based script, haha, other than downloading a program and executing it and they work, I never had to try to get a win based script to communicate with the world
LOL
so I searched the net for poker movens won't run, and found a post here the person said their network was blocked, but it ran remote
so maybe that's my problem which I will check today
right now the router is showing the IP address as a device, so that gets removed and then I start again allowing the computer the script is on to run it
then I check remote
if it works, my network is block
if remote can't access it, then a config setting in script is wrong, win is wrong (its not) or the att router site is wrong
the alternative is maybe the script? have new installs been on this version?
if so, then the script should be fine, if it's a new version with no recent installs I'm not sure

Re: Not connecting
To play inside your own network, you can just connect to your LAN IP which is typically something like 192.168.x.x:8087adoni wrote:which makes no sense since players in the network should be able to play
Was it 3801HGV ? I think Pace and 2Wire are the same company. See if these 2Wire instructions match your router:The router is U verse 380 hgv or is it w

Are you the "257 Casino" that I see at http://www.pokermavens.net/trial ?
If so, you're definitely blocked because I'm unable to connect there.
