Open Rails multiplayer issues

[csantucci]

I am trying to run multiplayer by starting one server instance and one client instance on my single computer. I am able to correctly start the Server. When I try to start on the same computer a client by using instructions shown at page 43 of the operations manual, on the log I get following info

Error: System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: Impossibile stabilire la connessione. Rifiuto persistente del computer di destinazione 37.116.39.207:30000
in System.Net.Sockets.Socket.DoConnect(EndPoint endPointSnapshot, SocketAddress socketAddress)
in System.Net.Sockets.Socket.Connect(EndPoint remoteEP)
in System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient.Connect(IPEndPoint remoteEP)
in ORTS.MultiPlayer.ClientComm..ctor(String serverIP, Int32 serverPort, String s)
in ORTS.Program.InitSimulator(UserSettings settings, String[] args, String mode)

in ORTS.Program.<>c__DisplayClass8.<Start>b__7()
in ORTS.Program.Start(UserSettings settings, String[] args)
in ORTS.Program.Main(String[] args)

Connection error - will play in single mode.

Diagnostics in Italian means: Impossible to establish connection. Persisting refusal by the destination computer.

What do I make wrong?

If you are running on the same PC, use IP address 127.0.0.1 -- this bypasses the network adapter and worked for me.

Thanks eric, that worked!

Setting a server may require port forwarding as indicated in this document:

Or try the standalone server.
