Re: I try to patch Dominions on Mac, but no luck!
Well, I have a new problem. I cannot connect to the server on the mac nor can I connect the mac to its own server.
However, I am able to connect to the mac server with LAN IP, but not WAN IP. The ports are forwarded. However, if I try to forward the ports (going to 192.168.1.1 in the web browser) and check those checkboxes (to enable the ports) I save settings and the checkmarks are never there. However, the checkmarks remain if I go there on the PC.
Is it because MAC just doesn't show checkmarks? Nevertheless, the port forwarding doesn't seem to work on the mac.
If I go to whatismyip.com it shows 70.176.220.23 for both the mac and the pc. Is that normal? Mac is using the same port of 4334. Its LAN IP is different, .103 instead .100. I already enabled port 4334 for .103.

Re: I try to patch Dominions on Mac, but no luck!
I haven't played or hosted network games on my Mac, sorry.
You might want to start a new thread, or change the title on this one, so people can see the new problem.

Re: I try to patch Dominions on Mac, but no luck!
This problem is beyond what anyone could help me with on the forum. It's a network issue.

That's normal. The router/firewall connects WAN to LAN if you set up port forwarding, but it does not forward traffic originating from LAN to LAN. This is a design issue of port forwarding or limitation of those cheap hardware routers.

You can only check that from an external source from the WAN. Not from your LAN.

That's normal, too. The web server reports which IP on the internet (WAN) connected to it. It should never get any info about internal IPs from LANs. |

YOU CANNOT OPEN THE SAME PORT FOR MULTIPLE LAN IPs |
