@Legato - describe your home network. You have cable or ADSL?

Legato

Think it's Cable.

rolfl

Let me describe what I think you have at your house.....

Legato

cursory look through this before answering yes.

rolfl

but, first up, on your windows machine, go to the command prompt (cmd.exe) and type ipconfig

What is your computer's IP address?

If it is something like 192.168...... or 10.* then answer me, otherwise, don't.

Or, alternatively are you connected via wi-fi?

Legato

I'm on wifi.

rolfl

02:43

OK, so you'll have a 192.168.0.* address probably.

Also, the problem is not with your computer, but with your NAT server

(although your computer may also have problems).

In essence, your cable comes in to your house, there's a modem that turns it in to a network. That modem is also probably a wi-fi router, but you may have a separate one too... depends.

That wi-fi router on one side has the public IP address for your "house".

on the other side (the devices connected wirelessly) they are all private addresses.

Legato

I set up a static IPv4 on the server computer it's 10.0.0.150, It also has a consistent IPv6, but I only used these two values when setting up the port forward on my router.

Modem is also a Wi-Fi router.

rolfl

10.0.0.150 is private, and non routable.

How'd you manage this auto-move anyway?

Phrancis

Room owner privilege

I really thought there would have been a general networking help room, but after not finding one I thought this would do ^^"

Legato

02:52

Ah.

Didn't know you were the room owner, haha.

Phrancis

One of many :)

Oh snap, I should throw a smiley in my Tinder profile. Twice the matches!

Dan Pantry

@EBrown I have an emoticon and a pun on my profile and ~180 matches after two years. I'm pretty sure most of them are more robot than I am.

SuperBiasedMan

Tinder is a pretty fun game but it seems rough to try and actually use.

@EBrown Good philosophy for tinder/swordfighting.

EBrown

@SuperBiasedMan I take Tinder about as seriously as I take the Db language.

Zak

@SuperBiasedMan as a LARPer, I can confirm for the swordfighting part

rolfl

Also, I think tinder and such is way off topic.

Jeroen Vannevel

13:51

I've got a picture with me holding 4 puppies as my tinder pic

30 matches the first day after that

Puppies are key

Dan Pantry

lol

@rolfl I agree. To the Nth

EBrown

@JeroenVannevel Indeed. Puppies are basically the only way to guarantee all the matches.

Dan Pantry

I noticed I got considerably more female attention when I had my old husky puppy

Malachi

I don't even know what you all are talking about

Dan Pantry

13:58

@Malachi monkey business

EBrown

@Malachi The thing that is Tinder.

Malachi

I don't even know what Tinder is.....

EBrown

@Malachi It's a horrible way to meet new people.

Dan Pantry

The embodiment of loneliness if you are not above-average attractiveness and male.

Malachi

I go outside to meet people. less traveling involved that way. Gas is Expensive!

I am married

Dan Pantry

13:59

On the other hand its a great place to get compliments if you are female..

EBrown

I just use it to mess with women's minds.

Dan Pantry

I made a fake female profile on there once just for funsies using a friends pciture (with her consent). She's maybe a 5-6. She got 1000 matches within about 2 weeks.

I, on the other hand, have had 15 matches in the past 3 months... lol

EBrown

@DanPantry I really haven't any cares on it. If I really want to meet new people, I just go to the bar.

Dan Pantry

@EBrown The smell of alcohol makes me sick, as well as my (very debilitating) anxiety around people in, well, person

so bars are a no-go

EBrown

@DanPantry See I'm not a people-person either, but what I do, is go to a bar that's fairly far from home (~30+ minutes), and just start talking to randoms.

Or, if you really don't want to start conversation, just accidentally bump into someone lightly and apologize.

Works every time.

Dan Pantry

14:04

@Ebrown refer to "The smell of alcohol makes me sick"

EBrown

@DanPantry Well, if that's the case then I guess you're out. So, go somewhere else instead. Hit up a club or something.

Jeroen Vannevel

Most intoxicants are good at overcoming that

doesn't have to be alcohol

Dan Pantry

> Hit up a club

> anxiety around people in

"if you don't want to be around alcohol, go to a place where people drink alcohol and stand in very close proximity to each other"

EBrown

@DanPantry I have the same problem, and like I said, once you get into the club, just start saying stuff to rando's.

Jeroen Vannevel

He's referring to the alcohol thing

talking to people doesn't fix that

EBrown

14:08

Meh. I am not a fan of alcohol either, I just suffer through that bit for a little while.

Go to the mall. You can meet people there.

Jeroen Vannevel

You're all heathens. I would feel like a fake Belgian if I didn't like beer

Mall? Only Americans give that as an option

Dan Pantry

@EBrown no, i mean, i find crowds fucking terrifying

holy shit, every SINGLE MESSAGE I post times out

Jeroen Vannevel

Who wants to meet people while you're shopping for new underwear

EBrown

@DanPantry Just get on a real dating website, then.

Dan Pantry

@EBrown I am. I am on 3, and I have been for 2 years

EBrown

14:10

@JeroenVannevel Me. Because if they can't deal with the type of underwear I buy, then they aren't the type for me. ;)

Jeroen Vannevel

I see. One of those tiger G-strings kind of people huh?

;-)

I feel ya

Dan Pantry

I think I was just a ltitle bit sick in my mouth.. @JeroenVannevel lol

EBrown

@JeroenVannevel Nah, I use boxer-briefs. ;)

Jeroen Vannevel

Great, you got me googling men's underwear

there's an awefully lot of see-through ones on the first result page

But okay, I wear those too

EBrown

@JeroenVannevel I can't...no...I just...started crying from laughter at work.
