i have this problem with the dedicated server i am running on demo.
i can connect to the dedicated server via LAN but not internet.
when i try to connect to the server via internet, it says "clientconnect:connect failed". but while the server is still running, i can only access it through LAN. the cfg is set for online play with masterserver: yes

it is not listed on the master server but since it givs me a connect fail error i guess it actually is on the master server. but no one can see it. why? any help is appreciated

its been like this for a while-the last time i could connect to the master server using the a dedicated server i hosted on demo server, then on the same day when i tried to set it up again, it said "cant connect to the master server"

nothing had changed, no settings updates or watsoever. clients could connect to me when i was able to host. now i cant? weird.

if need be any tests be made please state and i will perform them.

TY

well jus like title says, my dedicated server jus stopped connecting to the master server jus a week ago, im on demo multiplayer and for some reason, even with going through this forum, still no luck. so help!!

My server version is 0.5Y (latest as of 1 jan is it not?) , and although LFS can cnnect, my dedicated server cant. the dedicated server givs the error "could not connect to the master server" is there a new server patch? i tried flushing the dns, restarting my router, port fowarding, etc, etc

nth seems to correct this problem!!

well jus like title says, my dedicated server jus stopped connecting to the master server jus 2 days ago, im on demo multiplayer and for some reason, even with going through this thread, still no luck. so help!!
