client server connection trouble

Post by moogwill »

probably not a proppfrexx issue, but to be honest I feel a bit lost in this.

I'm used to get some RVT sessions all the time, some made from my local network, from a studio to another, a some distant from other show runners.

Suddendly, it seems remote distant clients can't connect to the server anymore.

As it works perfectly from Inside, using local computer adress and port 9042; when a home based showrunner using the internet IP with the same port (as he always did) from a distant location, it seems there's no answers from the server side.
I tried from the same local computer that gets proper local connection, with changing settings to the internet ip adress and it seems that I've got the same issue.
Does anybody got a clue about this?

Thanks,
Thomas.

It sounds like either a firewall or port forwarding issue.
E.g. check your firewall settings on the local PC as well as on your server PC!
And then also check your port forwarding settings on the router which connects your server's network with the internet. On that router (which essentially represents the IP address of your outside internet connection) you must have configured some port forwarding, to route all traffic to an internal IP address (your server in the local network).

I'd like to know, how this could have been changed without any actions from me... Complete mystery.
