Port Forwarding is hell, pls help

[[314th]mrkev99]

Hi all! 

I am tryin to open my ports for IL2. I don't know what I'm doing wrong but it just doesn't work. I tried some check tools for open ports but everytime It just says "Port is closed".  On screen you can see my current port settings, and my ipconfig result. I checked my pc firewall too and alowed these ports too. Still doesn't work.  I wanted to host coop server (created in-game, not Dserver) but my friend still  couldn't join me. Can anyone help me solve this problem please?  Thank you!

This IP address no need to be  anonymised - this network class is not routable. No one will reach you by knowig only this internal IP address.

 

Back to you question, looks ok to me - even more- there is no need to open port 28100 UDP. 

 

This almost 3am and i can miss something..

 

BTW Did you check  if port is open using site similar to this (game must be started  in coop mode) alt -tab and see port 28000

 

Maybe ISP policy is not allowing for that...

Yes.. unfortunately I started server and then checked the ports on the same site you wrote...closed 

 

Honestly I think its ISP policy.. I think I have to call him.

As you're running the server in-game:

 

  Have you checked  'Available from Internet'?

 

  Have you set a firewall rule to allow il2.exe to access the Internet?

Yeah I checked it and allowed in firewall too. Outbound and Inbound rules.

You configured the Windows firewall, but anti-virus software firewalls may block ports, so you could check for that too.

point to note nobody has mentioned  we found it by accident of all things

myself and my pal could see eachothers servers  and pings we joined but on loading completion kicked back tot he game type selection 

we checked re checked our ports firewalls etc 

 

anyways went into the game and looked at settings  to see if we missed anything  ¬¬

settings multiplayer the problem was in there 

youll see two widows one with the ports one above that with available ips,,,,,,type your internal ip in the little box to the right and it fixes it , now we can join eachother

The game's internal server interface is OK for running quick tests, however for serious hosting dserver offers many advantages.

You will find DServer.exe in the bin/game folder. The app uses a .sds configuration file holding your servers settings. You should find an example sds file in the data folder, however I attach an example sds file with improved annotations. Just save it in the data folder with a suitable name, then open it with a text editor and add your account credentials and your server's parameters in the locations shown.

When you start DSserver, click File/Open and specify your sds file. Alternatively you can automate the process as described here.
