@Retrosaur haha thats pretty cool.

so rechargable batteries, do we think they will be charged?

Ender

@fredley when i forward the port, the iP address I put in is my personal IP, not my public correct?

fredley

@Ender It's your LAN IP not your WAN IP

djsmiley2k

when port forwarding, that is correct normally

Ender

@fredley which is which?

fredley

Shoul be something like 25525 -> 192.168.1.13:25525

@fredley hello?

One thing this winter of excessive snowing taught me is that's the easiest way to put a period to a day when you realise it's 2am and you aren't feeling sleepy is noticing snow fell on your home alley

fredley

@Ender Well see that dropdown of Computer Name, select your computer from that

CruelCow

@Ender what's the first number in your public ip?

djsmiley2k

how is he doing port forwarding if he can't access his router?

Ender

I can access my router just fine @dj

168

badp

@djsmiley2k by not reading through the backlog properly

djsmiley2k

4:17 PM

ah ok

badp good job on removing tht there

badp

@Ender still, have you set up static DHCP so that your computer always gets the same LAN ip?

CruelCow

@Ender Is that number from a webpage or what your router reports?

Ender

@badp puu.sh/27DCM

is that what you mean?

@cruel my 168 ip is what i get from CMD

CruelCow

Wait what? The first part is 192 right?

djsmiley2k

o_O

yeah gonna say, if your in the C range, 168 as the first segment doesn't work

infact I'm guessing 192.168.1.10 or near enough

Ender

4:21 PM

192.168.x.xxx.

yea

my mistake

djsmiley2k

a good way to see if your port forwarding is working is doing the sheilds up scan on grc.com

or tell me your public IP and I'll just nmap you.

CruelCow

But what I really meant was the public IP the router reports. It should have a stats page or something. With public ip or wan ip

@Retrosaur I love when the answer starts with "This has already been covered here and here." <--- Then stop writing an answer and cast a dupe vote.

badp

@Ender You're telling the router "yo, whenever you see this MAC address (which is my computer's network card's), always give it this IP address"

Ender

yea i understand the concept of static IPS, but I dont have that option

Retrosaur

@Fluttershy I don't know what kalina was thinking there. I assumed she casted close votes, but they probably faded away

It's closed.

Ender

i think its auto static on my menu, and thats why its not mentioning it @badp

djsmiley2k

no static IP?S

urgh

set the IP on the computer, outside of the DHCP range, and hope the router isn't too stupid.

Ender

"Use this section to configure the built-in DHCP Server to assign IP addresses to the computers on your network"

is what it says, so I'm assuming it's auto static

but i really dont see what ANY of this has to do with the fact that my port fowarding isnt working

Q: Best place to farm money in Borderlands 2

There are several "badass rank" challenges that involve hoarding money or using money to buy weapons. Where are the most effective places to farm or make money in Pandora?

borderlands-2

Can we also close this question for subjectvitiy?

*subjectivity

Best is an extremely subjective approach to this

There is no "best place" per say in BL2 to farm money

Wipqozn

4:44 PM

@Retrosaur That question is fine, since it's good subjective.

If you want him to clarify it a bit you're welcome to, but for farming money it obviously means which area will allow you to gather money at the fastest rate.

Retrosaur

But you can gather money anywhere at exceedingly fast rates.

For example, killing bosses may net you a lot of money, but to kill them takes time

Where as killing mobs and mobs of enemies is quick, but the payoff is low

Wipqozn

And where is asking for areas and methods which yield the most money in the shortest time.

djsmiley2k

....

so theres no place to quickly kill bosses, or no bosses you can farm?

theres no place to quickly kill mobs / easily?

Does it depend on your play style?

And "No" is a valid answer.

Wipqozn

@djsmiley2k Yes.

djsmiley2k

however if you close it, someone else will juyst ask again.

and the site never improves.

Wipqozn

4:50 PM

Just because you can farm all areas equally well, without using any special tactics, doesn't mean the quesiton is invalid and should be closed.

djsmiley2k

/me is getting sad at all the "close this!!!!" that he see's

makes me not want to bother asking :/

Such as when is the best time to start xp farming in star ocean 4. Should I wait until I'm doing the final dungeons, or should I start right now on the second disk (as I can build the equipment now).

@djsmiley2k That is an attitude we are aware of, and is very problematic.

Q: Minecraft how to be hidden on a server

Is there a way to be on a server but the players don't know that you are online?

Wipqozn

If a question is unanswerable it should be closed, yes. Bad questions should be fixed if they can be, yes. However, if a question is close-worthy in it's current form but can be fixed it should be closed until it is fixed. Basically, closing and re-opening should both be swift. The idea is that we don't want people posting answers to a question which will be changed, and also since we don't want to leave questions open for the OP to fix only for them to never visit the site again and the...

...question remains open.

Also, if a question is bad and can't be fixed, that doesn't mean we close it. Some questions are just terrible, but still fit within the scope fo the site.

Closing is really meant to be a temporary state (Except for duplicates). Ultimately, any question which is closed should either be fixed and re-opened, or deleted.

ok thats my modems port fowarding entry thingy

should i put 25565 in all boxes?

Wipqozn

@badp Yeah, but that's also close worthy and is obivously never going to be fixed.

djsmiley2k

5:04 PM

"yes" :D

Wipqozn

I just meant questions which shouldn't be closed, but are just Terrible. I don't think we should be deleting them right away, but a few months down the road, after the OP has received their answer, there is no harm in deleting it.

@djsmiley2k It actually falls under speculation about the future of the industry, and is thus off-topic.

The problem being that information can change from now until release.

StrixVaria

@Ender Minecraft uses port 25565, so that is the port to forward, yes.

Ender

in all 3 boxes?

Wipqozn

Even if the company says a console will have a certain feature doesn't mean it will. Look at the PS3 Boomerang. They changed that back pretty quickly.

StrixVaria

That interface is terrible, though.

Ender

5:05 PM

StrixVaria

You probably don't need to specify "through port".

djsmiley2k

5:07 PM

@Wipqozn Which feature didn't the PS3 ship with?

Ender

so my modem is fowarding teh port to my router, and my router is fowarding it to my computer, yes?

StrixVaria

@Ender Oh are you behind multiple routers?

Wipqozn

@djsmiley2k The problem is that it could still change between now and release. Sony could suddenly decide "You know what? We really should go with a 7x Bluray drive."

Ender

im behind 1 router and 1 modem

djsmiley2k

@Wipqozn You also better close the simcity questions too, as so far people have said "for future games, you go on the current infomation and update as relevent"

Wipqozn

5:07 PM

@djsmiley2k The controller changed between announcement and release.

djsmiley2k

@Wipqozn and simcity might NOT require a online connection when it gets released.

StrixVaria

@Ender That sounds like it should work but my expertise ends with just 1 relay.

djsmiley2k

Wipqozn

@djsmiley2k Do you have a link then? Because in that case, the question may need to be closed. Also, to be fair, betas are a grey area.

Ok, in your modem settings, find the DHCP table

Wipqozn

I'm not sure what you're trying to do, but if you're trying to host a server you need to set up a static IP.

Ender

I have a static ip

fredley

Your modem has a private network, in which the only two devices are the modem and router

the router has a network for everything else that is separate

the modem shouldn't have a clue what is connected to the router

Ender

my router has the same port forwarded to my computers IP as my router sees it

my port remains closed however.

I meant like this

(both public ip and modem IP to router aren't very interesting)

kalina

@badp if you're providing tech support, it's worth noting that many ISPs provide a combined box for both router and modem, removing the two boxes in the middle and combining them in one

badp

@kalina I think it's been established that he has a modem and a separate router

kalina

@badp shrug, I'm just jumping into the conversation like normal

Ender

5:37 PM

my ISP provided a DSL modem that doubles as a router, but because of its location in my house, i was forced to provide my own additional router to hook up my devices, which are all in a different room

so i have INTERNET------> Modem\Router----->Router-----Computer

my modem has port 25565 forwarded to my routers IP as my modem sees it
my router has the same port forwarded to my computers IP as my router sees it
my port remains closed however.

In my closing statement. NETWORKING SUCKS

What's the fastest way to travel through the end in minecraft? I need to get out SUPER far, and holding shift while placing blocks isn't cutting it... There's gotta be some kind of mod out there... Oh yeah and flying isn't an option.

I tried those new Chicken and Waffles flavored chips. It's amazing. They really do taste like sadness

@djsmiley2k 27 dumb people.

@BenBrocka Those chips are an insult to Chicken and Waffles. :(

This month

Fuck this month

There's nothing wrong with the first half of this month

The rest though

double-fuck it so it makes up for it

@badp Good news: This is the shortest month of the year!

@fbueckert Lucky us

badp

@LessPop_MoreFizz There's that at least

Ben Brocka

What's wrong with febuary, aside from being winter?

badp

All the things I don't feel like talking about right now

@BenBrocka I don't rightly know, I'm rather fond of the month myself. But @badp wants it to be over, so he can take solace in that it will be over a full 3 days sooner than most other months.

There's not even a week left!

badp

It's just February 2013

February 2012 was a cool month

I have no reason to expect February 2014 will be like this, either

*pet pet* It's going to be okay

Ben Brocka

Is it bad at video games awareness month or something?

badp

@BenBrocka I haven't yet made a fool of myself with you, I'd rather not fix that here and now

there's 4 days left

we can take our time

Is that some sort of bread

Raven Dreamer

@LessPop_MoreFizz Whoa. I saw your post in the starred list, and thought 27 folks had given you a star.

Ronan Forman

Cheer up @badp it could be worse, and knowing your luck, it could well be.

@RavenDreamer 27 dumb people?

badp

@RonanForman Yeah, it obviously could be. But it could be better. Much better.

Ronan Forman

@badp That's the spirit!

badp

9:52 PM

...thinking about the empty half rather than the full half of the glass of water is the spirit?

Ronan Forman

@badp I don't know, maybe? I'm sure you're right. You normally are.

Any of this helping?

badp

I'm kind of chuckling

I mean, I'm chuckling at the part with the fake praise. The part where you're still holding in your disappointment to the forty minutes you wasted in that Eversion recording with me, too.

I don't even know if I do have that file anymore

Ronan Forman

@badp What? I've wasted way more time on videos I never uploaded.

badp

I never even apologized for that, and frankly, I don't think doing that now would change anything

Ronan Forman

You don't need to apologise.

badp

9:55 PM

I'm not apologizing mainly because I'm not in the spirit to mean an apology; I still think I owe you one

Ronan Forman

I don't know what you think I do with my time, but it's not worth much.

badp

after all I apologized to @OrigamiRobot for flagging his messages without warning and then did the same to kalina mere days later

sure, the flagging system is built to be anonymous and without warning, but does that matter? maybe? probably not

LessPop_MoreFizz

I am suddenly under the impression that I have Missed Something.

badp

@LessPop_MoreFizz nah, it's just been a few sucky days in a row. Yesterday was admittedly not sucky

also it's a certainty that my standard for sucky days is still ages above the best day ever of tons of people in Africa
