    Enter the ip address of your router
    and you can enter the menu to open the needed ports

    perhaps the question is misdirected.
    suppose i have no fixed internet connection, so no modem.
    How can I create a dedicated server on rr using the phone's 4/5g connection?

    i think thats not possible because the dedi server tools runs on steam
    and not in raceroom directly.

    He's running it on Steam, but he uses his phone to connect his PC to the internet.

    i can run a dedi from my phone
    check your firewall and av , make sure relevant ports are open

    if your trying to join your server it woll either work or wont ,
    loop back !!?.... might be easier to prove the
    Hodge conjecture

    I have no experience setting up dedicated servers.

    I'm using a second PC for this (Windows 11), but my server isn't showing up in the multiplayer menu. Port forwarding and firewall permissions are set up. I'm wondering if this is due to the Windows network settings; I'm not sure how they should be configured. I can see the second PC on the network.
    I'm using a FritzBox 7590 (router), but I'm not sure if it supports loopback or if it's even necessary with a second PC?

    I appreciate any help.

    How much data does it use to run a dedicated server on your phone (for example for one race)?
    I'm behind multiple routers and can't find a way to set it so that my phone can use wifi and I can loging to the race on my pc (wired).

    Is there a step-by-step guide on how to set up a dedicated server on a Linux (Ubuntu) machine?

    So, I switched to a Windows machine.

    I followed the installation instructions. https://forum.kw-studios.com/index.php?threads/multiplayer-dedicated-how-to.687/ Unfortunately, the server doesn't appear in the multiplayer browser.

    Now I don't know how port forwarding works, since this is a rented server.

    Windows 11 is the operating system.

    In the Windows Firewall, Raceroom Dedicated Server and Raceroom Community Multiplayer are listed under allowed apps.

    Do the ports have to be opened separately in Windows?

    Or does the server provider have to open the ports? I don't know if the server is behind a router.

    Edit: i see this message: WARN DedicatedServerProcess.Process.Start pipe still connecting.
    But I don't know why that is.
