Unity + Smart Fox Server 2x

Questions & Answers
1

I got almost everything set up. I am hosting the server temporarily off my laptop and i run the game on my computer i can connect and everything, i can walk around and ill have my game running in the editor and a separate client and they can communicate using the chatbox but when i send the game to someone that isnt using my internet router they cant connect.

My laptop is using windows 7

On my laptop where i host it i have it port forwarded, i have those ports on the actual computers firewall ports open, and the server is up. What do i have to do for them to connect to my server?

All help is appreciated,
Thanks

That’s because smart fix ONLY uses LAN! this means you need a program like

LogmeIn Hamachi: VPN.net – Hamachi by LogMeIn

In your unity script that handles the connection to the smartfox server, you need to put the “external” ip address of your router (the ip address that the world sees, not the computers on your network). You can get it by typing “what is my ip” into google. Clients connecting from the internet will connect to that ip address, your router will then port forward to your server. With most isps your ip address can change periodically. Sorry if I am explaining something obvious.
