SuperForge over the Net?

[sledmanjones]

I'm having a bit of trouble getting SuperForge to work over the internet.I have it working fine on my local network,but a remotely located PC can't connect to my SuperForge server.My EMU PC is behind a router,and so is the remotely located PC.My router has the local IP of the EMU box open for the port I chose for SuperForge to use,and the remote network has the same .Here's my servers.dat file line:192.168.1.103,5757,username,password
Should I be using 127.0.0.1 instead?
I'm guessing it's got some issue with the setup on the routers,but I'm not sure,so I thought I'd ask here.I'm sure there must be a networking wizard that could point me in the right direction.

Here is a good simple site for checking to see if the port is in fact open, helped me when I was getting superforge up over the Internet

If inbound is open on your aux server, then maybe outbound is being blocked on the remote computer?

127.0.0.1 is internal loop. I dont think you can use it.

The server.dat file I previously posted was the one on the server side.On the client side the server.dat is the same,except the IP is the one from the router on the server side of this.Does that make sense to anyone?

In the "Servers" folder on your AUX server, I don't believe you need the servers.dat file, although it won't hurt to have in the directory, just the users.dat file as this contains the users/passes that are allowed to connect.

Now if you were going to run a emu setup off the same computer you are using for your AUX server, the servers.dat file in the "users" directory you can use the IP of 127.0.0.1. If you running a emu setup from another computer on your LAN you would use the 192.168.x.x IP address.

If your connecting to your AUX server over the internet you need to use your external IP (the one assigned to your router) and you have to map the port through your router to point to the proper IP address of your server on your LAN (usually a 192.168.x.x address)

Hopefully I explained this alright, if not just let me know and I will try again :)
