Response Time Exceeded

I tried to search for my issue, but didn't find anything that helps.

My server worked all day yesterday and all day today, until I had to shut it down. Now I start the server and everything loads like it did before. When I try to log in, dbmon says 'Auth Server:' followed by some numbers (they change every time). My log in screen hangs for about 10 seconds, then says 'Response Time Exceeded'.

The only thing I did was set up port forwarding. When I couldn't log in, I changed it all back just to be safe. The problem is still there.

All my ip's are set to local. I'm letting my server fully start before I start the client. I'm not running anything else that might interfere (that I know of).

Any push in the right direction would be appreciated.

Nevermind. The port in my login config file got changed. All good now.

I have the same problem on my Pserver, the server starting well, but in client when i try to log in after 10~ seconds Response Time Exceeded

Response time exceed can be by multiple reasons, one of them is internet connection, the other one is port matching (if you got diferente port on login and diferente on session) it will not let you login ofc

the second thing - if you use router and have more device connected to router, you may get new IP from DHCP thats why you get "Response time exceed"

Try reserve one ip from DHCP to your mac address.

It was as i said, there can be multiple reasons for you getting that

Thx for answering guys I appreciate your help, I solved it, the reason was that I was trying to run a different version of files between server and client I guess, but I'll keep that in mind about IPs and Ports :)
