Setting a LAN server on Linux [Solved]

[Lord_Vlad]

Hello, I'm with some friends and I'd like to set up a LAN server, I'm on linux. So i check the "host server" box and I get my IP on the net. But even with the good IP it doesn't seem to connect.

My friend's computer works with windows. maybe it changes stuff.

it doesnt matter.

Make sure you get your internal ip. run ifconfig and look for an ip starting with 192.168

run "ifconfig -a" to be exact

[rubenwardy]

for example:

Code: Select all

wlp3s0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
        inet 192.168.0.3  netmask 255.255.255.0  broadcast 192.168.0.255
        inet6 fe80::8d4c:d652:80c8:a2f6  prefixlen 64  scopeid 0x20<link>
        ether b0:c0:90:2c:85:f0  txqueuelen 1000  (Ethernet)
        RX packets 24  bytes 3272 (3.2 KB)
        RX errors 0  dropped 0  overruns 0  frame 0
        TX packets 49  bytes 7285 (7.2 KB)
        TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0

the IP address is 192.168.0.3

ip's dont necesarilly start with "192.168" at my house the ip's start with 10.1.2

I know, however it's the most likely case and I'd rather not complicate it further

@Lord_Vlad make sure that your freinds type on the correct ip and adress port before they connect.

@rubenwardy gotcha.

Code: Select all

2: ens33: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 78:e7:d1:d6:38:2a brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 192.168.1.30/24 brd 192.168.1.255 scope global ens33
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 2a02:a03f:309e:ba00:297e:dbc2:5d37:9d5b/64 scope global mngtmpaddr noprefixroute dynamic 
       valid_lft 345626sec preferred_lft 345626sec
    inet6 2a02:a03f:309b:d700:50b6:d2d0:7c2c:b5c9/64 scope global mngtmpaddr noprefixroute dynamic

    inet6 fe80::7f12:63a:5378:85a1/64 scope link 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

As you can see here the adress ends by /24 ... and that seems to make minetest not want it, somehow.
No solution to this ?

Edit : the adress without the /24 worked, case closed.

Thanks a lot.
