[GUIDE] If you can't get your server Public...

[SlimWoW]

If you can't get your server Public, and you've tried ALL of the guides and whatnot then you might just be a few steps away from others connecting to your non-hamachi server.

1. You've gotten all of your ports forwarded on your router? Do you have them on TCP and UCP? Well there's your problem! When I had that happen to me I couldn't have any people connect to me. I switched it to only TCP and I had my friends try to connect again and, Viola! They could log in and connect!

2. Do you have a Static IP address? Are you using it when you forward your ports on your Router? If your not, then you better get a Static IP if you don't have one and Re-forward those ports!

3. Are your Configs set up the right way? (I'll post my configs and if yours is a little different then change it to look like mine. It works for me. It should work for you!)

If your Configs look like that(Except for the Ascent-world, because I cut off the bottom so I don't make a wall of text, you only really have to change your IP info really, you really didn't need to copy my Setup for my highrate server) then your friends should connect!

To get your Static IP if you don't have one then go to:
PortForward.com - Free Help Setting up Your Router or Firewall
and find your computer Operating system (e.g. Windows XP for me)
then just follow the guide. It's actually really simple.
Anyways, if you need help then post your question, if I can I'll try my best to answer it. Have fun with your non-Hamachi server!

<WorldDatabase Hostname = "The Host for your Database (ex. DynDNS or No-IP Host)" Username = "root" Password = "YOUR PASSWORD TO YOUR DB GOES HERE" Name = "YOUR WORLD'S DB GOES HERE" Port = "3306" Type = "1">
<CharacterDatabase Hostname = "The Host for your Database (ex. DynDNS or No-IP Host)" Username = "root" Password = "YOUR PASSWORD TO YOUR DB GOES HERE" Name = "YOUR LOGONSERVER'S DB GOES HERE" Port = "3306" Type = "1">

<LogonDatabase Hostname = "The Host for your Database (ex. DynDNS or No-IP Host)"
Username = "root"
Password = "YOUR MySQL PASSWORD GOES HERE"
Name = "YOUR LOGONSERVER DB GOES HERE"
Port = "3306"
Type = "1">

- This can maybe be the reason to, but if it dosn't work, and you made a Host from DynDNS, delete the host from DynDNS and make a new one on: No-IP - Dynamic DNS, Static DNS for Your Dynamic IP
Because sometimes with DynDNS Hosts they sometimes Shutdown and cannot be used for your server Realmlist or DB, with No-IP you ALLWAYS have a host thats not shutting down all the time!
- You can get your Computer-IP from: What Is My IP Address? - IP Address Lookup, Info, Speed Test, and more and External from: RUN -> CMD -> IpConfig /all. And you will see a IP with 192.xxx.xxx.xxx etc.

Nice. Ill Be Making My Server In About 6 Months.
I Will Refer To This Guide!
+Rep!

In 6 months, private servers will be ruined. Ascent has stopped working on new cores n stuff. Therefor, in 6 months you'll have to stick to MangOs...
