Hello guys trying to host a server finally got the server to show up in list but when i try to join it says server connection failed..im on the same pc that the server is set up on is that my problem? If anyone could please try to join the server and let me know how it goes would be greatly appreciated..Also any tips on why i get the server connection failed error would be great...thanks guys Ps server name is.. Server test please join
just checked local connection under the join tab and was able to enter server,,but does that mean only pcs on my network can join or is it still open to everyone??
Thank you for trying to connect MJP i will close it down and check that option in setup and open it back up..thanks again
Ok thought the get mod would be in server options page but not seeing it where do i enable get mod at?Sorry for being such a noob
Check one of my posts from the last ten days - it shows you the ports you need to open for all parts of the sim to work. You need to open ports in and out for rfactor and vmod too.

Ok i added the port for Get mod thank you c3po ,my router is a arris and it has a place for inbound port and also local port should theese both be the same? Ps if i put the host pc into dmz it should work right?
What's in your vmod, did you make sure the boxes were unchecked on the stuff you selected in making the vmod because it seems a bit large for just a vmod? Still downloading atm, vmod size 12MB so far! 15MB and progress bar is barely 1/3 done. 26MB and about 1/2 done.
i thought all i had checked was the vettes main file but i am totaly clueless on creating a vmod was pretty much guessing first time ive even opened creator tool..i think it said it was like 58mb so i must have screwed up when creating my vmod if thats un normally large
On the last screen just before you hit 'Package' it shows you the components you've selected. If you check the square box next to the components then they get included in your 'vmod' and served up when someone uses the 'get mod' feature in the lobby. A proper vmod doesn't have any content of its own and is less than 1MB.
ok so nothing should be checked then ill give it another try,,could i used the vmod that i d/l to enter someone elses server a few days ago? or do i have to create my own? sorry again for being so clueless i know its a pain to help someone who knows so little
Yes you can use a vmod you've previously downloaded, should be ok as long as it doesn't reference any difficult to get cars/tracks which will restrict the # of people who are likely to join.
ok created another with no components checked and this time size was like 730 kbs ..its back up with new vmod
ok gonna try one more time this time in DMZmode cause i must not have all the ports forwarded correctly
Ok back up and running in dmz so should be no port problems now,,if this doesent work ill quit wasting your time
