Hi there Star-Made community, I first just want to say that this is one heck of a game, lots of fun had already. For obvious reasons I would like to give multiplayer a try with a friend or two of mine however we've had no luck thus far.
I first tried port forwarding, I hadn't used port forwarding in quite a long time however I was able to get into the settings for my Arris router. The router however will not accept my IPV4 address and states that it is "Not a valid IP address". I realized this was likely because the Arris router is connected to a second router, a Linksys one. I haven't had to port forward through two routers before so I decided to give Hamachi a try, I'd had luck with it in the past. Hamachi seemed promising, I had no trouble setting up a network or having my friend join said network. I was able to launch the server and join it using the Hamachi IPV4 address. He was unable to join the server using the correct IP and port. As of now I have tried changing the server listen IP in the server.cfg file and using a different port (25565). I was still able to connect to the server using the Hamachi IP, no luck on the friend's end however. Worthy of note is the fact that my friend is using a Mac of some sort and that I am on Windows 7 64bit Professional. My next course of action is to finish researching how to port forward through two routers and give that a try.
If you require any further information I will be happy to try to provide it. Thank you to any who have taken the time to read this. Any ideas, suggestions, etc. would be greatly appreciated.
