Development server not accessible

Postby HuntiXz » January 15th, 2012, 2:45 pm

Hey,

I'm totally new to Player.IO and currently trying out the demo's but when I try out the multiplayer. I get this error:
The server is not publicly accessible on any ports.
Please open port 8184 in your firewall if you want to run live games on this server.

But I already port forwarded it to my local machine and the firewall on my local machine is off. Could it by my router since I can't forward to a ip but only a device ?

I'm out of options so I hope somebody can help.

Greetings
Robby

Hey, you are trying to pop in the development server in the live cluster. Something that is very useful if you need to test on live.

However it's not needed for simply developing a game. Simply set
Code: Select all
client.multiplayer.developmentServer = "localhost:8184"

In your flash project, run the server locally and start the flash project.

Awesome the dev server is a great option. But after two days of trying fixed it. Turns out my router is a real pain in the ass. Finally can try out the options of playerIO and build awesome games.
Thanks
