1) You are on a network. It just refuses. Even when you're the computer that supplies all the other computers with their internet connection.
2) Your firewall is blocking the required ports, or is not allowing fully comfortable allowing Java server access to the web. |
1) If you are in a network in which there are many users using same IP, ask the net admin to forward a port to your computer.
(For example, my internal ip could be 192.168.0.1 and outer ip is 62.44.209.XXX When i host direct ip JBB opens the socket in 192.268.0.XXX, but because of the port i've chosen to be routed to my computer, you fumbblers can connect to the 62.44.209.XXX)
2) there is only one port required for the BB and it is not pre-decided, if you can get any port for you open it is possible to host through it. |

For some people the problem might be how to make their boss or the net assistant to open them a port in order to host JavaBB games.  |

Now it's time to see if I can look into this 'port forwarding' for my home PC at least... |
Any luck? Just forward to the port you want to play on, and the spec port so people can still spectate your games (spec port is host port +5 if you haven't changed it).
I also have a wireless network and don't have any problems. |

And now! Direct is working perfectly - had to do some things differently than suggested as my soft-/ and hardware are probably slightly different. But thanks to all and cheers to an almost bugfree future here on FUMBBL! |
