Hosting server on own PC...

[corosive]

Hey guys! I've been having some issues hosting FOnline Season 2 Source on my home PC... could somebody give me a step by step guide as to how you do it? I can do the port forwarding stuff on my own, so don't worry about that, I just can't seem to connect to my own server.

What exactly do you want to know? Do you want to host Reloaded S2 server?

Give more details what you have tried.

in config set host to localhost and port 4000
run server
run client
thats all if you host server and run client on same pc

if you want connect  to your server from other pc then just set IP of that pc in client config

check this thread, may be helpful - https://fodev.net/forum/index.php/topic,29616.msg259795.html#msg259795

1. Find your dedicated PC on router.
2. Set static IP to DCHP (by MAC).
3. Set it up as your LAN's object.
4. Make protocols:

Name: FOnline Server //example name
TCP Any -> 4040 //updater's port
UDP Any -> 4040 //as above
TCP Any-> 2238 //game server's port
UDP Any-> 2238
TCP Any -> 80 //for vtdb (if you want to use it, by http server with php)

Name: Remote Desktop //if needed
TCP Any -> 3389
UDP Any -> 3389

Name: FTP //if needed
TCP Any -> 21

And idk, TS3: //just a curiosity for different port config
Name: TeamSpeak 3 Server
UDP Any -> 9987-9997 //port range here!
TCP Any -> 10011
TCP Any -> 30033

And maybe, Wake on LAN: //another curiosity, works with forwarding
Name: WoL //or Wake on LAN, or WoLAN, or whatever
UDP Any -> 9

5. Forwarding...
Sign those protocols to your LAN object!

6. Reboot your router device

Good luck!

PS
Please tell us your router model next time - it will be really easier with proper documentation!
