Server Not Showing on Listings

[Leanden]

I've been hosting my Britain server on off for a considerable amount of time without any issue. But today when i start the server it doesnt show up on the Server List.

Nothing about my configuration has changed, my ports are still forwarded, openttd still has a firewall exception.

The only thing that has changed is i now have the creator update for Windows 10.

Any ideas?

Are you sure nothing changed with the Ports open for your computers local IP address? I know some routers/modems need to set a computers IP address to a port, so something like Port 3979 might only be open to Local IP : 192.168.2.102 or something like that.

ALso might want to check your fire wall incase those rules got erased by the update.

If all else fails then just redo it all, remove the exceptions from your modem/router and your fire wall and do it all over again for Ports 3978 and 3979

IP address hasnt changed, and ive already scrubbed and readded the port forwarding rules to my local firewall and my router and still no luck.

I tested the ports coming into my network, and ive found that 3978 is blocked.

It has been forwarded inbound and outbound on my router, and there is a rule on my computer, but it still shows as block.

Port 3979 however shows as open, but even if i try to add my server with the IP address, it still shows as offline.

Connecting directly just returns an error "Network-Game Connection Lost"

thing is ports dont open until they're accessed by a program. I mean if you allow them to be open that is. this can make problem solving tricky.

I was the one trying to join. You can directly join, but the game/his computer refuses to advertise it

Except even when you directly join you get that error i mentioned above.
