I have no clue how i set up port forwarding but it would be really useful knowing as I can then host my own multiplayer servers. please help, -Thanks in advance.
There's quite a bit of information in the Wiki. This may assist. https://www.simsig.co.uk/Wiki/Show?page=usertrack:ssrun:multiplayer:port_forwarding Peter
these are the sttings ive got and im stuck please help many thanks in advance.... 1.png 2.png
these are the sttings ive got and im stuck please help many thanks in advance.... 1.png 2.png How do you mean stuck? Will the router not accept the settings, can you not connect with those setting or what? Have you tried setting protocol to TCP/UDP?
sorry i've got these settings and the port forwarding doesn't seem to want to be accepted, any help would be appreciated.
As the other settings seem to be consistent with what is required, have you tried the different options (like TCP/UDP) in the Protocol drop-down?

I'm still not clear exactly where you're getting stuck. So you enter the details like in your first picture and you hit "Ok". What happens? In the background of that picture it looks like there is an entry, perhaps done previously, or perhaps updates as you type. Your second picture shows an empty list. So does it accept your entry and place it in that list? If that is okay, what happens when you run a simulation, ensure you tick "enable" under "Run a SimSig server", and then try to connect a client simu...
thankyou to everyone i can now host...
thankyou to everyone i can now host... If you can let everyone know how you resolved things it may help someone else who has the same problem in the future.
it apears that everyones advice on here helped i also found a program called spi port forward which may have helped. *** not sure if it did but i think so ***

the wan interface is different its ETHWAN and its TCP/UDP many thanks all

yep sacro think that may have been the problem :)

think most people are lol
so ive made a port on my routers app, and added the needed info, but when i press test, it fails, anyone know why?
Presuming that this "test" is on your router's app --- Is SimSig running, in server mode, when you run the test?
no its the game test server thing on the website and yes
no its the game test server thing on the website and yes Does your ISP use CGNAT and if so do you pay extra for the ability to have a fixed IP address? Most fibre providers now use CGNAT which prevents port forwarding from working. Essentially you and your neighbours share a public IP address and then the ISP assigns you an internal IP on their network.
my wan uses PPPoE but i can change it to static ip
PPPoE is orthogonal to the question of whether your ISP lets you have a public IPv4 address or not.
my wan uses PPPoE but i can change it to static ip Static IP on your internal network or external network?
