firewall is turned off.. forwarding is on for TCP&UDP

IP is correct (a friend tried to connect).. Just That code from me, won´t give a connection..

Also make sure that you and your friend are using the exact same published version of the game. Even removing an unused variable or function will make the new script incompatible to the old one. If you need a different code on client and server, use anet_use_handles(0).

Also, you can try to load the server IP from a text file so you don't have to chance it in the code every time.
And might try to set a password. Its just that I've never tried using an empty string, maybe there's a bug.

EDIT: Still, dark_samurai is right. If the connection works locally, but not over the internet, its usually not ANets fault but your firewall/router. Do you have a firewall? If using the build in windows firewall, make sure it doesn't block the server.

HA.. Got it to work (thanks to puppeteer)..

I changed nothing.. but a connection between him and me is working o.O

To your virtual server problem, try to set video_screen = 0; (it's not video_mode, sorry for the wrong information; changed that in the manual). The engine should start then.

hmm..k.. but how so say the servergame, to start as server without changing the code?

You have not read any workshops yet, have you?

i read it.. but if i change the code, the game versions are not the same...

I tried to start a server directly at startup for the servergame version..
(I mean.. the ANet manual isn´t saying any word about, how to connect to a server and how to code it.. it just gives help for PC<>PC or local games..)

But it just crashes again with "No mouse found" o.O

You know that you can start code with different parameters?

Just check them with command_str [Look into the GS Manual) and than start your game as a server or a client via Code.

i nver used the A8 standard Online functions.. so.. the manual isn´t really clear for me..
(i´m happy that Anet connects now.. ^_^")

So i never used commands...

-.-

Why don't you even look for it in the manual?

This STRING(!!) has nothing to do with multiplayer -.-'
