Look at this very simple main menu widget blueprint with two buttons “Host” and “Join”.
I can successfully Host the session but when I try to connect to my public IP address, nothing happens.
I was told to open the port 7777. I did, but with no result.
Is there something else I should do? Maybe in the DefaultEngine.ini file or something like that?
My goal is to allow players around the world to connect to my session using my public IP Address.
While i haven’t tried connecting to my own public ip address (from same computer), can you connect to locally (127.0.0.1) Or have another computer outside your network connect. Not quite sure why you would use public ip address from same computer?
If you tired to plat the outdoor games then i have to tell you that from here you can enjoyed a lot to play spider solitaire free online game when i am started to play this game then i have really enjoyed and i have get lots of fun in my free time.
You may need to learn something about networking connection.I think you should do mapping with you router.But I don’t know how to get stated.Because I have trouble in it too.
How do you connect with the external IP 192.168.1.1 if you entered the internal IP into the port forwarding thingy?
Simple way to check your ip is explained on google blog simple by google search
Other way is to check what is my ip address and location.
I don’t know if this is your case, but if you want to connect to your server through the public ip, you need the client to be using another internet separate from the host server, if the client is using the same internet as the server, it has to be through IPV4 local of the host machine IP. Try open any game server like: “counter strike”, “Minecraft” or any and search on google “site to test ports”, I have de thame problem, but in my case ISP is not blocking.
