I have a Dyndns system set up so that people can connect to my machine. I've got a hunch, but I havn't tested it, so it's going to take a little explaining. What I've done is edit boot5zones.bat to read:
@echo off
start zone . malice.homedns.org 7995 malice.homedns.org
start zone . malice.homedns.org 7996 malice.homedns.org
start zone . malice.homedns.org 7997 malice.homedns.org
start zone . malice.homedns.org 7998 malice.homedns.org
start zone . malice.homedns.org 7999 malice.homedns.org
exit
cls
Normally it's set to read:
start zone . malice.homedns.org 7995 127.0.0.1
etc..
exit
cls
Now, the hunch I have is that the World Server hands off to one of the zone servers, as is evident when I log in and it says:
Zoneserver SetZone: 127.0.0.1:7775
Client disconnected
Removing client from ip: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:3282
That is what I see when I connect and can play. So what I'm seeing happening maybe is that it's serching for the appropriate zoneserver at 127.0.0.1 on the client machine instead of on the server machine. So I altered it to connect to malice.homedns.org and booted it up. Logged in and it worked fine for me, but I need someone else to log in and test it.
Hope that made sense.
