[ TUTORIAL ] How to fix being stuck on retreiving server info!

[Rylund]

Ok, lets check your ports then. (Take "ja" as "yes")
Remember to get your computer I PV4 adress inside the IP place. (Good idea, go into your router and do your IP static, then it wont change.)
Do you have all these ports?

Snip

I deleted all of the custom ports I added to gmod. Seems like I will have to re add them

I didn't try that yet, I think the static might work, but i haven't found an option. Regardless I will contact my ISP see if it's somehting with them or just me.

You can go change it in your router.
On mine it's under Advanced.
Advanced - DHCP connections, Then I found my IP and made it Static instead of dynamic.

Found it, do I just dis-able DHCP server? Cause I see my IP but how do I make it static?

Will try now thanks

edit: I found an IP I can change but it doesn't have my mac adress near it or a check box for static :/

Port forwarding in a router is for incoming connections, this is for if you say hosting a severs etc
basicly you telling you router which computer on your home network to forward stuff on that port too

Retrieving server information is an incoming connection, no?

[Temar]

Usually no incoming data yes but on an already established connection
