Need some advice.. PLEASE

Code:

<!-- DO NOT EDIT ANY LINES BETWEEN HERE AND THE DATABASE SECTION -->
<address>otherworld.myvnc.com</address>
<localaddress>127.0.0.1</localaddress>

I don't think that those need to be set. In fact, they are usually commented out.

Comment out the address and localaddress as suggested by Vexyl, then put the real ip of the login server you are using in:


<loginserver>

<host>127.0.0.1</host>
<port>5998</port>
<account>XXXXXX</account>
<password>XXXXXX</password>

</loginserver>

change that to your ip of your actual login server, ie 192.168.1.85 or otherworld.myvnc.com, ie the same ip you set your clients eqhost info too..

that is if you are using your own login server...

you made a real difference...
I altered things to the way you all advised, now I can get players from inside the lan perfectly

.

from WAN, still getting the "failed connection", can you give a bit more advice on this?.. we are SOOOO close

Is it because I remmed out the <address>otherworld.myvnc.com</address>
<localaddress>127.0.0.1</localaddress> ??

again, many many thanks for your time

Which required ports are forwarded on the router? You should have the ports forwarded for the login server, world server, and zone server(s).

yes... got 9000 7000-7100, 3306 (for remote admin), 5998,5999,6000,7779, 9080

which port does the login server use? did I miss it????

If you are using your own login server AND ypu want to enable outside connections, then the ip needs to be an INTERNET reachable ip, via dyn dns, a static ip from your isp ect.., Im assuming you set to 192.168.1.85, thats a private ip and only your lan can see that..

Try going to whats my ip site and putting that ip in if the domain name does not work as a test..

Yes, 5998 and 5999 are for the login server, 9000 for world server, 7000-7100 are for up to 101 zone servers, but the others aren't necessary. I don't know what 6000 and 7779 are for (chat/mail server?), and 9080 is for the http web interface, which you probably don't need.

As rencro has said, be sure that the clients connecting from WAN are set to use the login server at your external IP address (http://www.whatismyip.com to find out what it is). In other words, be sure their eqhost.txt is configured properly to connect to your login server over the internet.

Yes, I use otherworld.myvnc.com (its a No-IP addy), which resolves to my external IP, (then gets routed of course), you have all made TERRIFIC contributions, and I am very grateful!..
(and yes, 6000 I saw mentioned (somewhere, as the port for SOD, 7779 is the mail/chat)
again, thanks for the help.. couldn't figure it out myself.
Setting the Host=87.115.109.249
but still not getting through from outside the LAN.
