Thanks so it should be simple enough to forward TCP door 37447.

First: If this is not the correct thread please advise.

Second: I added a rule on my modem in order to forward door 37447 on TCP protocol but it's still giving "connection timed out: connect" error.
Static local address enabled.
I tried with and without W7 firewall.

Any suggestions

I could be wrong but I think you might get that if you try to connect from another machine on the same internal network. You might get a different result if you ask someone to connect to you from outside. Unfortunately I can't at the moment, but it may be worth trying...

I'm trying to connect from my work desktop to the home one.
(I use teamviewer to remotely control my home computer)

In your wireless router in port forwarding settings you should see something like this (see attachment).
Private IP - your PC's IP address, which you receive via DHCP or which is set static. In case of DHCP you should be sure you receive the same private address all the time (via static DHCP leases).
When someone (outside your network) connect to you PC, he should enter your public IP. You should know this IP address. If not, check www.whatipmyip.com, for example.
If someone is connecting to your PC inside your network, he should use your private IP, and port forwarding rules are ignored, as they are not necessary - in internal network connections are established directly.

MrNumbers,

Correct, I have the ports forwarded to my private IP which is given by the modem and that I manually inserted on the IP4 settings.
I was trying to access to the public IP.

I'm able to connect with the laptop, on the same network, using the public IP.

Strange. Try to check, if your JCloisterZone is listening the corresponding port.
To do that launch JCloisterZone in "ready to connect" mode (next window after pressing "Start game" button), then launch Command prompt (cmd) and enter "netstat -an". Check the long text, if you have  two following lines somewhere:
Code: [Select]
TCP    0.0.0.0:37447          0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING
TCP    127.0.0.1:37447        127.0.0.1:53870        ESTABLISHED
53870 maybe different.

EDIT: OK, no need to do this, after I read your edited comment.

EDIT 2: Have you tried to switch off firewall also on your work PC? Maybe you have some network restrictions on your workplace regarding opened ports?

I just tried, and it is not connecting for me either.

This is new - no changes to my home network.  Played a few games online over the last couple of weeks, and it was working.

Can we Host a game with a Dynamic IP address ? I can't make the soft work for me and a friend.

On the communication port, should we put 37447 (I already authorized it in forwarding port in my router config) or the port given when I check my IP ?

Thanks in advance :)

When you check your IP, you receive your IP address, not port. So, you can try use this dynamically assigned IP and port 37447, which is already forwarded to your PC, as far as I can understand. This will work only if this assigned dynamic IP is real IP (not behind NAT).

Apologies if this has already been explained by MrNumbers but I've typed this now so I thought I'd post it anyway:

Anybody can host a game over the internet if their internet router will allow them to, and if they’re able to configure it correctly. If this is the case, you need to reserve an internal IP address (probably 192.168.0.something) for the PC on which you wish to use as your host. This is done through the DHCP settings on your router and is usually referred to as “leasing” so there may be a section for “lease reservations” or something similar. The purpose of this is so that your JCZ host PC will always have the same internal IP address whenever it is connected to the internet, and this address will never be assigned to a different device connected to the internet through your router.

The other thing you need to do is to set up a simple port forwarding rule to forward all incoming TCP/IP traffic to a specific port. By default the port number is 37447 for JCZ, so this is what I use. The rule will also need a destination IP address which should be the internal IP address of the machine you wish to use as the host machine (the IP you reserved above).

Once you’ve made these changes, ensure that everything is saved and then double-check it all to make sure your changes are in place (i.e. that the internal IP is reserved for your intended server PC and that your port forwarding rule will forward all TCP/IP traffic on a specific port [37447] to the reserved address).

Finally, look up your external IP address as it appears on the internet by going to a website such as this one: http://www.whatsmyip.org/

As long as JCZ is up and running on your host machine, anyone from anywhere in the world should be able to connect to it by opening JCZ on their PC and then connecting to you via your external IP address (above) and the port number you set...

Good luck!  :) :(y)

Seems neither can I now. And I might have a League Game soon against monwil. Anybody around, who could host, if this is happening?
