connection error

[fireclav]

i will give the nat another go but i had tried that last night.

as far as firewalls yes i turned them off.. i used the cavedudes installer for the server. the one from the wik. but yes i will give the NAT another go but i dont think thats it but maybe never know

didnt see a list of public servers



just went back to the no-ip site this is how i setup the thing on there end to make sure im doing this right

HostNAme sorarn
no-ip.info
DNS HOST (a)
ip (Real ip)

hit save or what ever and thats all then i followed the steps in the guide and add'd it to my host file the way it says there

from there i went to every spot in my emu and log that had 192.168 addy and put the no ip one there. and on the client side in the eqhost i put sorarn.no-ip.info:5999 is all that right

so now my emu and login are hte same as the ones you posted but with my no ip in there instead of my local. will try this in a sec

let me know if thats all right

just tried it btw, and still getting that 1017 error. server side it says

New Client from IP 192.168.1.1 port 4835
unknown packet blah blah blah

when it says
Note the dragonnest.no-ip.info is what you need to replace with yours.
Also after doing this use the dns address for your worldserver address as well as you zoneserver address. Replace all the 127.0.0.1 with your DNS address. After doing this bothe people from outside your router as well as yourself will be able to log into server.
by DNS does it mean the sorarn.no-ip.info or my other IP 63.blah
