[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgHRe49a7xg"]How To Set Up Basic Port Forwarding for the Verizon FiOS Router - YouTube[/ame]

apparently i needed to do more to make it work, i hope this is the problem, now i dont know what the heck all those boxes in protocol mean , im starting to think im a lost cause or maybe to take a class pcs for idiots
 
Oh hell, i think i am mixing stuff up. i could be confusing the external user vs networked user. i always port forwarded, but then again i had external people now and then. its all blurry now since i last did it almost 2 years ago.

i used DHCP to assign each computer a specific IP address, ie 192.168.1.100, 192.168.1.102, then did:
/bccmd connect 192.168.1.100

or whatever. and since i had static internal IPs, it worked just fine.

mq2eqbc.ini looked like:
local machine:
[Last Connect]
Server=127.1.0.0
Port=2112

other machine:
[Last Connect]
Server=192.168.1.100
Port=2112

That is nice and all but that is not the macrquest2.ini [Plugin] Section.

Right click loader and do the macroquest2.ini look for the plugin section. It lists what plugins you currently have turned on. Copy that once for each pc and post them.

holy fuckin shit
i fuckin got it, i feel like i cracked the space time continuum
i was messing and messing with numbers , and i finally freaking got it,,,, and the answer to anyone's question ,,, it was entirely my error, ill explain in a sec , lemme get em all set up before i forget what i did

man i feel sheepish, i genuinely didn't understand all this stuff though so this is a win for me , cuz i actually understand it now.

i just kept reading and reading, and looking up forums on port forwarding and all kinds of stuff, finally i had an epiphany.
My eqbc.exe pc needs to bind to the actual other pcs ip address, and my other pc needs to bind to the zeros , and then my exe pc ini needs to be the host 127 and the other pc non exe needs to have ini connected t the exe pc.... tried it , and BAM success
it took me all freaking day ,. but thanks to your guys help and a whole lot of headache i finally got it, and not only that , but i actually understand it , which is way better than just getting it to work

Welcome to the wonderful world of learning :).
 
I was having a hard time with this as well Shaun, I think someone who know what they are talking about should explain the port forwarding requirement on the EQBC Wiki. Once I did port forwarding all my problems were fixed.
 
They computers need static IPs so they know exactly what internal IP to use to communicate. I you open a port and tell it what IP the eqbcs are on they have no confusion and do not get lost.


You should be able to use ip 0 0 0 0 and it pick up all traffic on an internal network. If you want people outside you need to set up static outside IP as well to be easy and consistent without having a revolving IP.
 
I run behind a router so internal network and the 0.0.0.0 never works for me with 2 pc's. I end up setting eqbc to my pc ip in the ini and then copy that eqbc ini to my other computers. This makes them all connect to the same address. I don't do port forwarding. Never found a need for it.
 
0.0.0.0 listens on all available interfaces (binds to), as opposed to listening on only 1 specified interface. Of course, that's only for listening for connections. For any other PC connecting to it, you will still have to specify some IP that can be routed to that target computer where it is listening.

If I have a daemon listening on: 127.0.0.1, 192.168.3.1, 192.168.4.1, and 10.0.0.5, then it can accept connections on any of those interfaces (IPs shown here, but whatever the interfaces are called - I am using the names interchangeably), however, any client would need to specify a routed target address.

E.g., if my local ethernet was the interface with the IP 10.0.0.5 in the examples above, that has 2 other computers on that network (such as 10.0.0.15 and 10.0.0.20), when one of those wants to connect to the listening daemon then the connection would need to specify a target IP of 10.0.0.5. The other IPs that the daemon are listening on can't be routed from those PCs, i.e., there is no way to 'get there from here'.

The best practice is to listen on all interfaces, unless there is some reason (such as security) that one of the networks should not be listening. For EQBC, I can't imagine that being the case, so best is to listen on all (0.0.0.0).

If you use DHCP, and if you use a router with whatever cable/dsl/etc. ISP, then you are probably doing so, then configure a DHCP reservation in your router for the EQBC server PC, so you ensure it always gets the same IP every time, regardless of any kind of router resets, or EQBC being powered off a while, or other issue. Alternatively, you can configure the EQBC server PC to have a static IP, if you understand how to properly configure the gateway, subnet, and DNS addresses. If the configuration or type of your router ever changes, you may have to change these manually again.

Make sure your firewall is allowing incoming connections on the port you specify for EQBC to listen on. Also make sure that nothing else is listening on that port (in a cmd window, you can use: netstat -an ).

If you want connections outside your private local network (i.e., the internet) to be routed and connectable to your EQBC server, then you need to set port forwarding on your router, to forward incoming connections on that port number, to the internal IP address you have set for your EQBC server PC.

That should have you running fine.

Example:

EQBCS PC has static IP: 10.0.0.5
Run EQBCS bind to IP 0.0.0.0

Client #1 who cares what IP it has, as long as it is on that network, assume: 10.0.0.15
EQBC (client, i.e., the plugin) configure to connect to: 10.0.0.5

Client #2 who cares what IP it has, as long as it is on that network, assume: 10.0.0.25
EQBC (client, i.e., the plugin) configure to connect to: 10.0.0.5

Client #3 who cares what IP it has, as long as it is on that network, assume: 10.0.0.35
EQBC (client, i.e., the plugin) configure to connect to: 10.0.0.5

Repeat, repeat, repeat.
