    Greetings,

    I am unable to have anyone connect to me. I've been using D20pro to host my game on Infrno, and haven't had a problem till today when we had a sudden power outage while I was running the game. Power came back on 5 minutes later, I was rebooted of course, and when I tried to run my game, nobody could re-connect. I checked all my setting, with router, and Norton, and everything is still set the same. Rebooted, and still nothing. So, I deleted all the old setting, ran the guide you have, and set it up the same way I did the first time when it worked, and still nothing.

    Windows Firewall is off
    Router is set to allow d20 port 10101
    Norton is set up to allow incoming, outgoing 10101

    I run http://www.canyouseeme.org/ and get this error...

    Error: I could not see your service on 68.52.148.162 on port (10101)
    Reason: Connection refused

    What has happened, anyone know?

    Thanks.

    The connection guide available at viewtopic.php?f=2&t=773 is brilliant and a great source for troubleshooting. I don't know if this is listed in it but it happened to me recently: check to see if your router has assigned your computer a new IP address. If that happened, you may need to change the port routing to the new IP address.

    Greetings,

    That's exactly what happened. Jason guided me through how to check to see if my IP address had been changed, and it had changed by 1 digit. I am back up and running. WOOOHOOO! Thanks everyone.

    http://www.ipchicken.com is a great way to verify your external IP address. I have been using it for years and it's rock solid. (And you get a few laughs when you first tell people the name)

    It's a really good idea to have your router assign a specific ip to a specific MAC address.. in this way, you know your PC will always be IP#xxx ... It's also a good idea anyway for security as generally routers allow you to filter access by MAC ... (MAC filter whitelist).. It's also a lot easier to do it via the router, than to try and hardset ip on each machine or device...

    some routers will allow you to assign specific IP# based on Machine name (MyPCName = ip#).. but they are not as common, where as assigning by MAC is..

    in this way you assure devices assign by MAC are always the same number, then everything else in the house can just float (dynamically assign/DHCP)
