Total Newb Question about joining Server


mailpip

Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

 

Can you help a beginner out.  I have purchased a server through SS, and on my control panel it lists the IP/Host address.  So then I start up CE and choose online and  Direct Connect.  It asks for my ip and port.  I type in the ip from the IP/Host address and the game port number from the information popup.  But then CE just searches and never finds the server.

 

Am I doing something wrong?

 

Thanks,

PIP

Hey, Mailpip. I ran into this issue, too, so I'm posting my solution in case it helps anyone else.

 

The port listed on your control panel is likely not the port you need for connecting to your server. It didn't work for me, so maybe this is the case with your problem, too!

 

Click the little "i" next to your server address:

This brings up your server's full IP and port information. The port you want is the Game Port:

I hope this helps!
