Take a look in your eqemu_config file the ports are/can be defined in there for Zones, World etc.

Yeah the ports you are listening on your PC are in that file. So when you fire up your server it will open those ports on your PC.

Then you open your router ports to point them at your PC's ports

Internet - > Router (Blocked ports) -> Your PC

Port for your Login Server (not needed if you use the one below instead of minilogin)
Quote:
<loginserver>
<host>eqemulator.net</host>
<port>5998</port>
<account></account>
<password></password>
</loginserver>
Ports for your zone servers (always needed)
Quote:
<zones>
<defaultstatus>20</defaultstatus>

<!-- Sets port range for world to use to auto configure zones -->
<ports low="7000" high="7100"/>
</zones>
Ports for your World Server (always needed)
Quote:
<tcp ip="localhost" port="9000" telnet="disable"/>
Ports for your World Server Admin Web Page (always needed)
Quote:
<http port="9080" enabled="false" mimefile="mime.types" />
So that's how to find the answer to your question bro!

And here is the actual answer:

World: 9000
WorldWeb: 9080
Zones: 7000-7100
LoginServer (in this example): No port needed (using public ones @ eqemulator)

best of luck mate

I believe EQ uses UDP as well as TCP so be sure to port forward not just TCP for that port but UDP as well - it should be an option on your router

Nope only need 7000 and 7080 not the whole range bud

Add 7000 - 7100 as UDP see if that works!

1) Okies first off get your external IP address:
www.whatismyip.com

2) Get Free Dynamic DNS name from www.dyndns.org
http://www.dyndns.com/

3) Point your dynamic dns name at your public IP address

Lemme know when you get this far

It's just me assuming the worst possible scenario for a solution

The biggest problem you'll have is where your local IP is something like 192.168.1.4 but your actually wanting people to come in on your external one like 212.43.12.3 - because the server launches on 192.168.1.4 it can mess things up a little

What we do is point a DNS name at 192.168.1.4 locally and externally itll point to 212.43.12.3

That way your server just sees it all as yourgame.dyndns.org and it makes the whole solution much safer

That way your zones will boot - try to connect to World via yourgame.dyndns.org and see its local and hopefully all will be ok

Lemme know when your DNS bit is setup and we can do the rest step by step
