I'm trying to connect to my No-IP address: Removed

I am using this to host:


I'm using this for the client:


What am I doing wrong? I heard that Multi-Sync can do host names now.

I have a router. I think you have to use port-forwarding but I have no idea how to.

I've tried the IP address that the host is connect to and that didn't work.

Thanks,

Are you having someone else try to connect to it or are you doing it yourself? You can't join yourself using your internet IP, so a hostname wouldn't work for that either.

@Benjamin - Ooo I didn't know that. What about on the same network? Could I try it from another computer? (They all share the same internet/router)

Attached is a demo. Run it. If it connects it will say it connects if not it will say timed out. Let me know when to run the server.

Edit: Could it be that I have a local server? Is there such thing as a remote server?

Thanks,

DigitalFury

but i think DigitalFury's problem is that he uses router.
Benjamin, tell him how he need to configure his router to work with your plugin. Port forwarding and all.

I was able to get it to work with the help of Sergey K and port forwarding!
