MrShiney Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 (edited) Hello, I love 0 AD but I have a problem setting a host, it doesn't matter if it's online or local network. I've open UDP port 20595 in my router, also I've added the port to windows firewall. And every time I try to connect to the host I just can't do it. The game says that I probably not forwarded the port 20595. What should I do? I'm lost. Edited December 10, 2016 by MrShiney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan` Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 Hello Mr Shiney, You cannot play on the lobby on a Local Area Network (L.A.N.) you have to use the other options to connect to your partner. You can get his IP, by opening the command line in his computer (ctrl + R and type cmd) and typing 'ipconfig' (without quotes) If you want to play online and the forwarding doesn't work, that means that maybe your local IP, given by the router DHCP has changed, therefore forwarding the port to a wrong computer. The best thing to do in this case would be to make your local ip static to your mac adress. Hope it helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my second try, after trying to connect with "host game"/"join a game options". But I got the same error message with "host game"/"join a game". I guess for lan playing I should give my IPv4 address, shouldn't I? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan` Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 Yeah give the IP adress of the host to the clients, and you should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just doesn't work. What IP should I enter in PortForwarding section? The IPv4 of my pc or the generic router 192.168.1.0/1? Because I've entered mine.

Stan` Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 (edited) If you want to host on the lobby: Forward your Port to to the local computer adress that will host the game. If you want to play on LAN: No port forwarding required Make sure that your local firewall doesn't block 0ad get the host IP adress by using cmd launch the game and press host give the host IP to the clients that they will write in join make them launch the game and click join writing your ip and voilàa Edited December 9, 2016 by stanislas69 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the same error message, something like "Cannot connect to the server, probably you have not enabled port 20595 in portforwarding. Again. IP I should use is IPv4 address like 192.168.1.xxx 0 AD is allowed on windows firewall. Also I have MalwareBytes Antimalware and Antiexploit (both free versions), I think they have no firewall options. Maybe I'm missing something about my router firewall or Windows.

Stan` Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 @MrShiney don't worry we'll fix it whatever it is. I realize I forgot to ask: What version of the game are you using ? I attached two files that might or might not help. The direct connect is in case you do not have access to the lobby, ie, school firewall. 0 A.D. Lan Tutorial.pdf 0 A.D.

It just was so stupid... My personal LAN was configured as a Public network, and I only granted 0AD private network access. Thank you very much.

UDP port 20595 not being forwarded by the host/firewall/antivirus soft message is shown to my friends trying to join my game. What can I do? Is it because I have a shared IP?

Stan` Posted May 6, 2020 Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 What do you mean by Shared IP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeasirX Posted May 6, 2020 Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 Shared IP as in my ISP provides 2 types of connections. a shared IP connection is cheap & it is used by a few of us and a dedicated IP connection can be used by you and you alone. And there are some limitations to using shared IP also. I thought this forwarding problem is one of them. that's why I mentioned that could it be a shared IP problem.

Stan` Posted May 6, 2020 Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 Could be, but maybe this is something else, did you check all the firewalls? Router + Windows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeasirX Posted May 6, 2020 Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 0A.D.(pyrogenesis) has access through the Windows defender's firewall and my router's(tplink) firewall is disabled. I don't know if there's anything more I can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan` Posted May 10, 2020 Report Share Posted May 10, 2020 Do you have another antivirus? (Some come with firewalls) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Some come with firewalls) No. I only use the windows defender and it's dedicated firewall. No kaspersky or other antiviruses installed. Another thing I want to mention is that this problem only occurs when my friends try to join my hosted game and vice-versa but, We regulary play at certain time on a game hosted by user1/ user2. Is this a country based problem or something? I am really lost here Stan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan` Posted May 10, 2020 Report Share Posted May 10, 2020 @YeasirX I'm not sure yet, but if you'll allow me, we will try to sort it out Can you tell me step by step what you do? If possible maybe record a video using something like https://www.screentogif.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
