Matter94

Oh ok, I'll fix that, thanks. I've restarted it before (because most times routers just need to be restarted, but not resetted to default ), but yeah thanks for the help. Btw I've resetted it because you mentioned it, but I just got back home today, so I wasn't able to do it earlier. Thank you again. (gave you the best answer, if that helps ^^ )

Okay great news guys! I solved the problem. My configuration was all fine (as I could see on my Dad's PC), my router was the actual problem, don't ask me what it was. So for anyone who has the same problem, this is what I did: I resetted my router in the router configuration page to default settings, turned off my router, also resetted him with the reset button (holding more than 10 seconds), entered my login data (given by my ISP) so I could connect to the internet again (don't do that guys before you know your login data!!!), configured my internal IP as static (10.0.0.1), forwarded the TCP ports 3306,3724,8085 just to be sure, and yeah that's it. My server configuration: In the realmlist table I set my DNS, auth and worldserver.cfg I set my internal IP (127.0.0.1) and my root user + pw, and my hosts file only contains 127.0.0.1 localhost, that's it. No need to edit it. Thank you for your answers, and I hope this will help some people out there. See ya!

Wait I've just noticed a difference in the router page, it says "Technology: VDSL" at my Dad's and "Technology: ADSL" at my router. Also something called PTM at my Dad's and at mine it's ATM and last thing is the protocol, it's PPPoE at my Dad's and PPPoA at mine. Is this causing my problem?? I don't really think that, but what else could it be.. :'(

It really seems like that, I don't know. I can't ping my own external IP (last time I was at home), lol ^^ or any other IP except localhost or internal IPs. What the hell is blocking that? :/

Ok so I've tried to start the server on my dad's PC and it just works fine, my friend can also join the server. Now the funny thing is: My dad has the same ISP and the same router as me. Same OS, only difference is that he has installed KIS 2012 and I have KIS 2013. So either it is the new Kaspersky blocking all incoming and outcoming pings (and thus also connections from outside I guess?) or some stupid program I don't know about. Could VPN programs be a problem? Like Hotspot Shield or OpenVPN?

The DNS configuration is fine, but I can't ping my own ext IP (or my Dad's IP from my PC). Funny thing is I can ping my DNS from my PC (getting my ext IP back), but no response when I try it at my Dad's PC. But I can ping my Dad's IP from his PC, so there must be something wrong with either my PC or my router..

Well I think I've opened and forwarded everything correctly, the thing is nobody can ping my external IP, I've tried it at my Dad's house and when I ping my DNS or external IP (DNS points to ext IP) I get no answer.. I guess that shouldn't be like that?

Is it possible that the ports are only opened and not forwarded? And could Kaspersky IS 2013 be a problem?

Don't you think I know that after searching for several days? (I've had this problem too back then, but I could solve it with the hosts file, because that wasn't part of your guide) I've read them all, still not a solution for my problem. So can you help me now or not?

I've done everything like in the wiki, tried all possible configurations in the config and Db, but nothing solved my problem, so please give me a little help, there is no thread on this forum (which I have found) which contains an answer to my problem..

Soo....... what's wrong?

Putting it where? In the Authserver config?

Can you be more precise please? I have set my DNS in the realmlist table, that should do it, shouldn't it?

Hey guys, I'm despaired.. Yes, I've searched at least 20 times, on more than 4 different sites, including your search tool, but still after ~10 hours of god damn searching, I haven't found the solution.. I think you all know the problem, I can't get anybody else to connect to my server, neither my second computer in same LAN, nor my friend. I managed to make my server online a year ago when I had an older revision though. What works: I can join my server with either my local IP or my internal IP or my DNS (not with my external IP, I guess that's kinda part of my problem), so that works just fine. My friend can only connect (WAN) to the auth server (Realm Loop) and my other PC (LAN) isn't even able to connect to the auth server, only when I edit it's hosts file to "10.0.0.1 MyDNS". Then it's obviously able to connect and join the game, but that's only a small "solution" for LAN computers.. I want it to work for everyone (or let's say for my friend).. So this is what I got: Win 7 64bit Auth.log: Server.log: Got the TDB from here (Git), it's revision 335.51. Made everything as in your guide and included 2 world updates that were in the updates folder. My hosts file contains: 127.0.0.1 localhost 10.0.0.1 MyDNS.no-ip.org 10.0.0.1 is my internal IP as you can guess Authserver.conf has my internal IP (10.0.0.1) Worldserver.conf also internal IP Realmlists are set to MyDNS I'm using SQLYog, this is in the realmlist table: 1 MyRealmName MyDNS 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.0 8085 1 0 9 0 0 12340 My Windows Firewall is usually turned off, but I've activated it and it doesn't change a thing. And my Antivirus and Firewall is Kaspersky Internet Security 2013. (back then when my server worked it was version 2012) And I think I have forwarded the TCP ports 3724 and 8085. It looks like this: http://img705.imageshack.us/img705/8380/portforward.png So Local IP is my internal IP and it's set to "Any Port to 3724 and Any Port to 8085" or something like this, I don't really know how that works exactly. But with this setting when my auth and worldservers are running and I check the ports at canyouseeme.org it says success. (when servers aren't running, it says failed) I think that should be enough information, if not I'm gonna add it then, when asked to. Please help me, I'm out of ideas..
