Hey there, I saw your post about setting up port forwarding for Space Engineers. I understand you're trying to forward port 27016 UDP and noticed the TCP entry didn't seem to matter. From what I read, people often use their own private IP addresses, which can cause confusion. It might help to double-check your router settings or try a different port if needed. Let me know if you want more tips!

It's been a long time since then, and I'm not sure if it was ever the same. I used to have an ISP, switched to Comcast for a while, and now I'm back with this local provider. Would I say yes? That's just my guess.

I noticed this too. It's possible, and I'll contact my ISP on Monday to confirm.

In fact, we can't proceed. Your server's IP address wasn't revealed, making it impossible to verify anything. Were you meant to share the LAN-side IP or did you accidentally include your WAN address instead? LAN addresses usually start with 192.x.x.x.

I double-checked my LAN IP address. Then I ended up using a static IP for my computer and the modem, which seems to have messed with the connection setup. Since I’m not plugged into the router directly, it appears the ONT is handling the fiber input and distributing it inside the house. The fact that I’m connected through it rather than the modem might be contributing to the problem.

We also came here, but right now my computer is too far from the modem and can't be adjusted. I'm stuck in this situation.

It was quite a surprising situation today. I attempted to move the router to my room only to find that the Ethernet port wasn't active or available. I've always stayed connected through the modem, which has been my setup. This might seem clear to others, but I'm still figuring things out. Now focusing on port forwarding, everything appears to be functioning, yet it doesn't seem right.
