in your host file
Code:
192.168.1.X myname.dyndns.com
you may not actually have to do this depending on a number of networking setup possibilities. The point of it is that you want to be able to do a ping myname.dyndns.com from the computer you are playing on and have it resolve to the internal IP of your server.
in your eq config file change the address for the chatserver and mail server to myname.dyndns.com also.
here is how my server is setup
Code:
<!-- Chatserver (channels) information. Defaults shown -->
<chatserver>
<host>eq.daerma.com</host>
<port>7778</port>
</chatserver>
<!-- Mailserver (in-game mail) information. Defaults shown -->
<mailserver>
<host>eq.daerma.com</host>
<port>7778</port>
</mailserver>
here is my hosts file from my desktop that I play on.
Code:
10.253.1.23 eq.daerma.com
my server's ip is 10.253.1.23 if you do ping of eq.daerma.com you will get my public address, whatever it is at the moment.
