OK, I did some more research on it and now I finally figured everything out.

I cannot connect to my own public IP just because my router does not support reverse path forwarding (RPF).
That is why I can only connect to my own server using my local IP or my private IP.

Now I know what was the ...

Yes, that is what I am trying to ask.

When I connect locally and use 127.0.0.1 everything connects and works well,
but when I use 72.95.247.214 - it doesn't connect. And it probably shouldn't work anyways since I connect locally, am I right?

Thanks for the reply, bax

Now can connect to the admin tool using different ports.

But with connections I still have a small problem.

I am running smartfox server on my computer with public IP: 72.95.247.214 and the clients can easily connect to this server from different computers (finally I set ...

The interesting thing is that when I ...

jurekf, thanks, you were right,

I did some research on my ISP and figured out the way I can configure the forwarding on my router. I just have to go to http://192.168.1.1/ and with my username and password I can make rules for port forwardings.

However, I already tried creating many different ...

bax, thank you for your input.

My question will probably sound stupid, but I'm new to all this and apparently I don't know some obvious things.

I am setting up the smartfox server at home, and I don't even know where the router which assigned my private IP is located. So I am not quite sure how I ...

Hi everyone,

I'm fairly new to smartfox and recently I encountered a problem that I can't solve :(

For some reason sfs binds sockets for my private and local IP with no problems, but can't bind a socket for my public IP, and therefore I can't connect to my server from different computers.

First ...
