I’ve set up my game server using Intersect Engine, and it runs fine on my local machine. However, when I try to connect from another device, it either times out or fails to establish a connection. I’ve double-checked that the server is running, and I can connect using localhost, but external connections don’t seem to work.
I’ve already tried port forwarding on my router, ensuring that the correct ports are open. I also disabled my firewall temporarily to see if that was the issue, but I still can’t get clients to connect. I suspect it could be a networking configuration issue or something specific to how Intersect handles connections. Could it be related to my ISP blocking certain ports, or do I need to adjust something in the server settings? Checked https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/xbox/forum/all/cannot-connect-to-certain-game-servers/223bf30c-48bc-4411-a0ae-c478b24bd0cb-Salesforce Administrator guide related to this and found it quite informative.
Has anyone else run into this problem? Are there specific troubleshooting steps I should follow to ensure my server is properly accessible from outside my local network? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
