Need help with RiiFS server

[mrbean35000vrjr]

So I heard that BCM and many other people are able to host their own public servers meaning people from the outside WAN can join. I was wondering if anyone can give me pointers on where to begin. I have the server application and my hacks set up correctly but nobody is able to connect via the outside (outside my network/router). I've made sure that the default port (It's been a long time but I think it's 1137) was ported. I'm also using a DDNS feature from my ASUS RT-N56U Router. I've done EVERYTHING I can think of from disabling the firewall to exposing the server computer (opening all the ports) but NOTHING WORKS! If it helps, my computer is using a WiFi card and isn't actually running off a LAN connection.

P.S: People are able to ping the server from their computer. It's just a matter of being able to make the connection with the Wii (all Wii's ON the LAN are able to connect but Wii's outside the network CAN NOT)

I have an external server that I host BCM on, so that saves the trouble of having to leave my computer on. If you wanna try hosting from your own computer, I'd use a port other than 1137. Use a random number above 30000 or something. In your router configuration settings, look for something about port forwarding. You'll have to forward TCP and UDP connections on that specific port you chose from your router to your specific computer. After updating the settings, you'll need an XML with connection info to your public IP address, or DDNS name.

<wiidisc version="1">
<!-- Mario Kart Wii -->
<id game="RMC"/>
<network protocol="riifs" address="brawlcustommusic.com" port="40000"/>
</wiidisc>

That's what I'm using on BCM right now, but the address can be your public IP.

How to change RiiFS port? I've tried everything to change it from 1137

[Soneek]

In a command prompt, "riifs.exe "root folder location" (port number)".
Example:

Code Select Expand

riifs.exe "C:\wiifiles" 41000

The "root" folder on your computer in this example would be C:\wiifiles, and the port being used is 41000.
