General Network Advice

[Dimitri Muskens]

My experience: in one night, my tests tested favorably, failed testing, and experienced the “could not connect to test server” status. Shortly later that evening, tests were fine again. No configuration was needed on my out of the box, home/consumer grade  modem  nor router.

Now rereading: “Public IP” refers to your home/office network’s modem’s  outbound IP address. If you’ve paid for a status or have dynamic thru your  ISP, public is what you see when you present yourself to the WAN (the web). Check out  https://whatismyip.com/ for instance.

My guess is that in most cases nobody had to do anything with his network setup...

Unfortunately my experience is opposite, I am unable to connect to any partner, since the beginning I always get a No audio from partners. Talking with ISP the router has UPnP enabled, public access and udp ports set to 12000 and 12001, as requested somewhere in this forum. What should I do ? Please help.

UDP ports should be 12000-12010 !! So 10 in total, if you choose to use this range. Remember to tell the app to use these ports as well, otherwise it has no meaning to jkz that you forwarded these ports.
>Manage>Networking>Configure Port Preference> [check te box] choose your forwarded ports.
