I need some server help

[Pyrarrows]

I'm setting up a server for me and some of my friends to play on. I can start all of the server executables, create an account, login, create a character, or choose one, and enter the game world.

People from outside of my network can only create accounts, and try to login. when it comes to the char server, it just won't connect.

On the server output, the login server shows my IP Addresses as internal addresses, and anything from outside of my network as WAN Addresses, only the local addresses get into the char server, and the Map server.

Are their ports being forwarded? Do their configuration files have your external IP set for the server being configured?

moved to "General Support"

Ah, thanks for moving this, I wasn't sure on where to post this.

The server is currently set up in a DMZ, when I set the server IP Addresses to the outside of the network, the servers cannot communicate, I currently have the IP Address set to the server's Address (192.168.254.2) so that the servers can communicate, and I can login.

I also have a webserver set up on that machine, my friends are able to connect to that.

The char IP in char_conf and the map IP in map_conf need to be the external ones. The other IPs are internal.

I went to a IP Checking site, and got this: 65.73.92.221

when I have the IP Addresses in the char_local and map_local files set to this, I keep on getting

Code: Select all

LAN IP of map-server: 192.168.254.2.
Sub-network of the map-server: 192.168.254.2.
Sub-network mask of the map-server: 255.255.255.0.
LAN test of LAN IP of the map-server: LAN test (result): LAN source.
---End reading of Lan Support configuration...
mmo_char_init: 1 character read in save/athena.txt.
can't read db/exp_guild.txt
The char-server is ready (Server is listening on the port 6122).

Attempt to connect to login-server...
set eof :4
Char-server can't connect to login-server (connection #4).

from the char server,
and I get

Code: Select all

Attempt to connect to char-server...
set eof :4
Map-server can't connect to char-server (connection #4).

from the map server

If I set the IP Addresses to 192.168.254.2, then I can get to the server from my computers in the house.

In char_conf and map_conf are two IP addresses. In char_conf, you have the login IP (set to internal) and the char IP (set to external). In map_conf, you have the char IP (set to internal) and the map IP (set to external).

ah, I thought that they all had to be the same IP... thanks! I'll try that, Just need to get my friend to try to connect.
