Hello! I have set up a NR server, for use with my mates to play LAN games on. The NR server is on a VPS running Debian 6 x64. I have installed both client and server on the server machine and i am connected to the NR network with the client, my problem is that i cannot reach the server's client (but i see it in neorouter explorer).

I want to set up a "lan server hoster" on my linux machine, but i cannot since i cannot reach the server via neorouter, only via public ip :/

I do not see any networking interface in *ifconfig* when checking, shouldnt it be there?

EDIT: Tested via ping and http

Thanks in advance
- LilleCarl

Hi LilleCarl,

Please run "cat /dev/net/tun" to check if you have permission to access the device on your VPS, as NR Client service needs it.

Run "ifconfig" on your box, you should see the virtual adapter as below

nrtap Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr C2:29:1B:F0:4A:82
inet addr:10.0.0.2 Bcast:10.255.255.255 Mask:255.0.0.0
inet6 addr: fe80::c029:1bff:fef0:4a82/64 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1300 Metric:1
RX packets:640131 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:130315 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:500
RX bytes:132846845 (126.6 MiB) TX bytes:127430664 (121.5 MiB)

"nrtap" is created from /dev/net/tun, if you don't have permission to access to it or it does not load the module "tun", NR client cannot assign the virtual IP properly and no other NR client can connect to it.

Thanks,
KevinZ - NeoRouter team

Crap, seems like i do not have access to /dev/net/tun :/ Should i ask my provider about that? Also thanks alot for the quick and professional response! :)

EDIT: I contacted my VPS provider and we fixed the issue, i can now connect to my server via neorouter =)

EDIT2: I guess you want the solution, and here it is!
Code:
mkdir /dev/net ; mknod /dev/net/tun c 10 200
