Issue with private lan server.

[Kingmen30264]

Got my server up and running. Thanks to all that helped me get here. Now I have an issue where NO ONE but myself can log onto my server, even though it is on the Server Select list.

I have a Dynamic IP Address, so it is always changing, but I read that I can use sites like no-ip.org or dyndns.org that automatically connects everyone to my new IP (When it changes).

I created a no-ip.org address, and I inserted it into the eqemu_config file, but it still won't let anyone log on.

Any help with this please?

Here is my eqemu_config.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0">
<server>
        <world>
                <shortname>deathz</shortname>
                <longname>xxxdeath test serverxxx</longname>

                <!-- Only specify these two if you really think you need to.  (read: You don't) -->
               <address>hsfdp.no-ip.org</address>
               <localaddress>192.168.2.157</localaddress>
