Title: Can't connect to library server
Post by: hakuin on December 31, 2005, 12:52:09 pm

Hello,

I've got MC running library server on a manual port.  I've opened this port on my router and forwarded the port to the IP address of the computer that is running library server.  When I Add Library and give it  the IP address of my modem/router (obtained from whatismyip.com) followed by :port#   (i.e. xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:port) and try to load the library, it does find the library (because the authentication window pops up), but gives me the following error:

Failed to connect to a server.
Reason: Server Error
URL: http://{the ip here}:port/GetLibrary

What am I doing wrong?

It showed that the server was running and that there was a failed attempt to connect.

Can you copy-and-paste the exact message here?

Thanks,
