I'm trying to set up a small dedicated server on Ark Survival, so that me and my daughter can play co-op without the tethering issue, we'd play on a public server but as were only really weekend players we don't get far. I can see my server in steam but then it fails at query which makes me think these ports just aren't open at all.I was trying to forward the ports but kept failing. Eventually it turned out that I was behind a second router which I didn't have access too. Spoke to ISP and they were more than happy to give me full control, my router now has my external IP in the default gateway.As far as I can tell, the ports are forwarded, I believe I allowed them in firewall, although I have also tried testing with firewalls all completely off, no luck. Windows defender isn't active, turned firewall off in router.I can ping external IP from outside of network, and can reach it from within, I have internet connection only when I allow PC to choose my ipv4 settings, prior to change in internet settings from ISP I could change my static IP like normal, now changing my IP in ipv4 protocol does not see it change in cmd. Not a problem if I just set them the same but thought it was worth a mention because my little knowledge is getting spread very thin at this point.Hopefully I've just made some freakishly obvious rookie mistake, ISP said I could have full control, now I feel I've got less since IPs wont change.This is not isolated, both PC and a laptop on the network have responded exactly the same in every way.Here's pics - anything info appreciatedWindows 10 Pro 64Bit (Both)TP-Link Router TL-WR841NPics might be overkill but thought i'd get everything.
TP-Link Archer C1200 is operating with the latest technology Wireless AC.The router gives us a reliable, high-speed network connectivity with the powerful 802.11ac standard. It operates in both the frequency bands 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz.
