Horizon box and porting forward

    Hi, I have created a server for Chivalry multiplayer and have put in my Ipv4 address and the correct ports, 7777, 7778 and 27015 but these ports are still closed. Is it possible to do this on Horizon.

    Thanks,
    Malabeans :)

    How do you know they're still closed? Note that you can't check them using your external IP from inside your own network. You'll need to test it from a different network

    Or If NAT Loopback is enabled on the horizon box this can be done. (P.S I don't have a horizon box, just stating the facts)

    I can see in cmd that each of the three ports I have set to be opened are 0.0.0.0 with no status on the right. They should have my devices IP next to them if I'm hosting a multiplayer server shouldn't they?

    In cmd? In the command prompt, using netstat? That just sounds like the ports are listening on your machine over UDP, nothing to do with whether your router is forwarding external requests to your machine. Use the http://canyouseeme.org/ tool to check if an external request gets through to the specified ports

    Just tried that there and it came back saying: Error: I could not see your service on 46.7.199.142 on port (7777)
    Reason: Connection timed out

    Thanks for all the help by the way :)
