Descriptive Problem Summary: I host a server on RP Unlimited, which is an RP server that I attempted to start. However, after I asked someone else to connect to it for the first time, they fortold they could not connect to it. I myself cannot do so outside Dream Daemon, and my byond pager immediately fails to connect to the server if I try it that way. It seems as though it does try to connect, but it immediately fails. I know for a fact MANY others on the forums have this same problem, yet I have not seen one solution.

Numbered Steps to Reproduce Problem: (1)Start up "Dream Daemon"
(2) Go to "File"..."My Games"..."A-Z"...RP Unlimited"
(3)Select "Go" to start server
(4)Attempt to connect to server via Byond Pager
(5)Byond attempts to connect, but immediately fails. Message that appears is. "Connecting...failed".

Code Snippet (if applicable) to Reproduce Problem:


Expected Results: Byond should be able to connect to the server, as it's port is open and it claims it is accessable to the public.

Actual Results: It cannot connect, and almost instantly fails when it tries.

Does the problem occur:
Every time? Or how often? Every Time

When does the problem NOT occur? other's servers, only on my own does this occur.

Check that you're machine's firewall isn't blocking BYOND / Dream Seeker / Dream Daemon. Even if it has them listed as allowed, try removing them and having it "relearn" them.
