# How to Connect to Your PalWorld Server

Congratulations on setting up your PalWorld server with PingPlayers! Now that your server is up and running, you might be wondering how to connect to it. Don’t worry, we’re here to help you through the process step-by-step. Whether you're on a PC or console, we’ll guide you through connecting to your server using the IP:Port that you have and the server name you specified.

Step 1: Launch PalWorld

Before you connect to your server, you need to make sure you have PalWorld installed on your device. Click on the game icon to launch it.

Step 2: Access the Multiplayer Menu

Once the game has loaded, navigate to the main menu. Here’s how to do it:

1. On the main menu, look for the "Multiplayer" option. This is typically located just below the "Single Player" button.
2. Click on "Multiplayer" to enter the multiplayer options.

Step 3: Connect to Your Server

Now that you're in the multiplayer menu, follow these steps to connect to your server:

Using IP:Port

1. In the multiplayer menu, look for an option that says “Direct Connect” or “Join Server” (the wording may vary depending on the version).
2. Click on that option. You will usually see a text box where you can enter the server information.
3. Type in your server's IP address followed by a colon and your specific port number. It should look something like this: `192.168.1.1:12345`. Replace `192.168.1.1` with your actual IP and `12345` with your actual port number.
4. After entering the IP:Port, press the “Connect” button.

Using the Server Name

If you prefer to connect via the server name you set up, follow these steps:

1. In the multiplayer menu, look for a button that says "Join by Server Name" (if available).
2. Enter the name of your server in the provided text box. Remember that the name you selected is inside the "Basic Settings". You can access it from your account->My Servers->Game->Basic Settings.
3. After typing the name, press “Connect” or “Join”.

Step 4: Enjoy Your Adventure!

Once you successfully connect using either method, you should find yourself in your PalWorld server! Play, explore, and enjoy the adventures with your pals and friends.

Troubleshooting Tips

- Connection Issues: If you encounter any errors while connecting, double-check the IP and port information to make sure it’s entered correctly.
- Server is Not Found: If your server doesn't show up or you can't connect, ensure that your server is online and that you have internet access.
- Firewall Settings: Sometimes firewall settings can prevent a connection. Make sure that the game is allowed through your firewall.

Conclusion

You're all set! Now you can jump into your very own PalWorld server and enjoy playing with friends. As always, if you encounter any issues or have further questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to our support team at PingPlayers. Happy gaming!
