Sorry, it's the best time for me personally to open it up and see how it goes. It will be available when you get off work! No worries.

15 days before D3 launch, guess I know what I'll be busy with for the next 15 days come May 1st =)

[Thorkinal]

Sadly, i'm Highly disappointed with D3.

I just tried to log in and it is still hanging on a black screen for a few minutes before dropping back to the log in screen.

I'm thinking it has something to do with my config. I'll be working on this all day so stand by. I have some experts assisting with the issue as well.

Is it on a Windows OS? Clear your ports for your zone processes and world (9000, 7000-7500). Make sure that your port forwarding is forwarding those ports to the inside address on your router/modem.

For example if your server is on 192.168.1.x - 192.168.1.45

Your port forwarding needs to translate to that inside address for those ports.

Make sense?

Thanks,

Yes, Windows 7
Would the one I need to forward the ports to register as the IPV4 Address on the Dos Prompt Ipconfig?

When I said clear your ports I meant on the firewall sorry. As far as the port forwarding which is different, you need those ports on your router to get forwarded to the inside addresses that is running the server (Assuming your server is running behind the router). Your router is running NAT translations so that you can perform internet tasks through the one public IP address through your router. When a packet gets sent inbound for 9000, it needs to know where to go and by specifying which IP address at the router in which that packet needs to forward is what you need to do.

So say your router is 64.89.65.34 (Just an example)

Inside server address is 192.168.34.34

Your port forwarding needs to look like this

192.168.34.34 9000
192.168.34.34 7000-7500

Your Windows machine needs to also have those ports opened up on the firewall or it is going to explicitly deny all traffic coming inbound for those ports.

So to answer your other question, yes, you need to use the IP address that is specified by doing ipconfig at the CMD prompt.

Hopefully this helps

Why are people so against bots? I played on Last World for a year and never had any problems with them. I thought they were fun.

I personally have no issues with bots and see them as a great addittion to any server espically on new servers just starting out since most don't have the population to support not having them.
Now if you server had a large enough player base on at all time's of the day/night or specially designed to be soloable then sure not having them would be fine.

Now back on topic i look forward to giving your server a try once i get some free time and good luck to you so far it look's like your off to a good start.
