BennuPlayNet distant connect (IP)

[Grew]

Hi,

Is there a way to make a distant connection with BennuPlayNet (for exemple by using the IP server address)

I've tried to change

Code Select Expand


if (!BNP_CONNECT("localhost",players,sizedata))
  return;
end;

with

Code Select Expand


if (!BNP_CONNECT("IP ADDRESS",players,sizedata))
  return;
end;

But it doesn't work.

Thanks!

1. run server

2. connect client

if (!BNP_CONNECT("195.200.25.233",players,sizedata))
     return;
end;

I tried but the client prog exits when trying to connect :(.

Here are the logs:

Code Select Expand

Iniciando playNET
irrNetLite: Error: Connection timed out. Connection failed.
Creado Cliente. apuntando a xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Identificador Cliente: 0
finalizando playNET
finalizado playNET - OK

It works great in local network (and so with Hamachi).

Firewall?

[Grew]

Firewall is off, and no antivirus installed.

Any hardware firewall? Like a router the server is connected to?

Bennuplaynet works fine, are you sure you are writing the IP correctly?

Try doing a ping to the same IP first.

You can also post the game and we could try.

Ok there is a problem with my network I think. Ping to my IP address doesn't success.
I have no router.

maybe,,,,

internet can be slow...

BNP_TIMEOUT= 15000;
BNP_REFRESH_MS= 1000;
BNP_FAST_MODE  =false;


if (!BNP_CONNECT("195.200.25.233",players,sizedata))
    return;
end;




please try with a http server how http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html

The problem is solved. It was because of my Freebox (it works as a router, and I didn't know).
