IP:  173.25.28.186
Server name:  Mr. X's 8-bit server

EDIT:  For some reason, I can no longer get this server to work.  I blame the skulltag update, since it was working yesterday.

What kind of issues you having? I'll be happy to try and help to get it running.

When people try to connect to my IP, they just keep getting a message that says "connecting to 173.25.28.186 : 10666" over and over and over again.

Odd, ports forwarded and everything? Is your IP dynamic, maybe somehow changed between now and when you posted it originally?

How can I check?  It should still be open, I didn't touch any settings.

EDIT:  I checked online, it closed itself.  :shock: Well, that solves my problem.

Sounds like port 10666 isn't open. http://portforward.com/ (http://portforward.com/)

I've got a problem, according to all of the internet tutorials I've seen, in order to change router settings, I just type my ip address into the address bar on my internet browser.  However, when I do this, it just waits a while and then tells me "connection has timed out."  Any ideas?

To do that you have to type your internal (router) ip address, which is usually something like 192.168.0.1

Great, the admin feature isn't working which means there's a password I don't know that I need to know.  Forget it, this server is done.

It's probably the default. That portforward site does have some of the defaults on there

Yeah, but it just keeps telling me "Buy the program for 29.99!" and I'm not doing that.

EDIT:  Never mind...

What's the router name/model?

Dlink DI-524.  It says the default username/password is admin/*blank* but that isn't working for me.  I have no idea what my password is.

Try your ISP name, or "password". Mine is admin/sky because sky is my internet provider

Nope, not working.

Ok, I'm officially at a loss as to what to do.  I was able to host a server last week with no problems and now it says port 10666 is closed.  I checked my firewall, unblocked 10666 and still nothing works.  I can't access my router settings for some reason, but I can't imagine why my router settings would have changed from one day to another anyways, since my parents aren't exactly the best when it comes to computers.  Is there any solution anybody here can come up with?

You just need to get to those router settings to open that port.

Any ideas on where I could get the password?  The default for my router (admin/no password) isn't working, neither is any combination of the words admin, password, nothing, and my ISP is working.

Looks like you may need to do a full reset that will erase all your settings. I would like to know what kind of router you have (make/model), isp, and type of connection (cable/dsl). Also did your ISP give/sell/lease this router to you or did you pick it up at retail?

If you don't feel comfortable configuring and re setting up a router from scratch, don't do it. play on my server.

Ok, so not only did my port 10666 close itself overnight before, it has now decided to open up itself overnight, too.  I'll periodically be hosting a server to test my Blade Man stage.

That's great!  If you don't mind, I'm going to attempt to join you.

EDIT: Doh, I didn't read the first post.  I'm an idiot.

Actually, the server will pretty much be down for the next few months.  I've moved to college where port 10666 is not open.  I have no control over the internet either.

Then, please excuse my idiotic post.
