He's trying to connect to another computer on his own network (as far as I understand).
That's why 127.0.0.1/localhost won't work to connect to.
He needs the LAN IP (what I mentioned above) of the other computer to connect to.

Now i understand where you are coming from as i said pretty new at this stuff forgot that once the server goes via the internet the I.P address changes, so using the internal lan i.p negates the internet.
My apologies, thanks this i knew but did not occur to me to try, in fact it slipped my mind thanks will try and remember that this time.
Thanks for helping out :)
Uhh... What you posted is how to connect to the server lol I know how to do that.
The issue is with either the ports, or with the Server.
You say; The server shows in the list, you can't connect to it, and your server is on another computer on the same network?
Right?
Which IP are you using to connect?
So, if I wanted to let my friends play on this server what IP would I give them?
If you can connect via server list on rust client.
connect to your server then press f1
the connection I.P will be in the console normally at the top,
If hosting on same machine as you're playing on, connect to the IP you see here:
http://www.myip.net/
127.0.0.1:28015 <-- this would be the IP my friends would use to connect easily?
127.0.0.1 is a LAN address this will only work if your friend is connected to the same router/network as you,(if he is in same house)
you will need your internet address which is given to you by your ISP (sometimes random unless you pay for a static IP)
run link above i does give your internet address not your lan address.
Then add the :28015 to the end so you have
net.connect internet.ip.address.here:28015
Ah okay; thanks :)
lol
Evidently you don't have a whole lot of experience with hosting servers. OF COURSE I can connect with the local ip! (Doesn't require port forwarding... if it is running, it'll work no matter what.) The issue is that if I or someone else uses my website's A Host (i.e. rust.redirectgaming.com) or if someone else tries to connect with the public IP, it doesn't work.
Assuming you are on windows? If so, on top of port forwarding in your router, take a look at the Windows firewall also, specifically Advanced settings - Inbound/Outbound rules.
If WF is on you will need to fuck around to open up the same port range in here as you did in your router.
Reason I say it is because that's exactly what I had to do a while back when standing up the Experimental server for testing. When Legacy came out I got part way through doing the same thing on a different port for Legacy as again it didn't work and wouldn't show in the list. Rather than more dicking around just for a bit of testing I just took the experimental down and ran up the legacy using the same ports and it appeared straight away.
*Might not* be the case for you but if it sounds like it could be check it out - everyone's setup is different!
Edit - When I get home I can take a pic of the settings I made (don't remember them off top of my head) if anyone wants/needs
Who's the one here that can't get it to work properly?
You.
Mine is working fine.
Maybe you should show a nicer attitude towards people that try to help you.
Goodluck with your issue.
Hi,
I have problem with server on my dedicated server (Debian 64bit)
gives me:Code:xvfb-run --auto-servernum --server-args='-screen 0 640x480x24:32' wine rust_server.exe -batchmode -cfg server.cfg -maxplayers 100 -port 28015
Any ideas how to fix that? I have opengl32.dll file in the same folder where .exe is.
127.0.0.1 is in-fact a loopback address and it is generally referred to as "localhost".
This address can only be used for a computer to talk to itself.
Hello Guys !
is it normal i get this messgae ?
Steam>app_update 258550 validate
ERROR! Failed to install app '258550' (No subscription)
What is wrong ?
Thanks !!!
Open server files is good, but while running small test server, still get errors like unresponsive when players on server > 0. This problem has solution?
dpkg --add-architecture i386
apt-get update
Remove wine 64 bits and reinstall wine 32bits: apt-get install wine:i386
Do you use mods on your linux server?
I'm trying: xvfb-run --auto-servernum --server-args='-screen 0 640x480x24:32' wine rust_server.exe -batchmode - -port "28015" -cf g config.cfg
and it works pretty well, but when I try oxide nothing works
I've tried both Oxide and RustEssentials, they work.
Ill only get an error when im trying to download the server files. the error is: Failed to install app: 258550 (no description) What do i do wrong? Help quickly please?
Steam cmd file look like this:steamcmd +login glen.carlsen ****** +force_install_dir ./Rust +app_update 258550 -beta exprimental validate
should be +login anonymous
