Thanks!

Only you will be able to connect. Because you have it set to localhost.

Do this in ur realm config:

<Realm1 Name = "Pure Ownage"
Address = "DYNAMIC DNS:8129"
Icon = "PVP"
Colour = "1"
Population = "1.0"
TimeZone = "1">


Or If that dosent work do this

<Realm1 Name = "Pure Ownage"
Address = "EXTERNAL IP:8129"
Icon = "PVP"
Colour = "1"
Population = "1.0"
TimeZone = "1">

<Realm2 Name = "Pure Ownage- local"
Address = "INTERNAL IP:8129"
Icon = "PVP"
Colour = "1"
Population = "1.0"
TimeZone = "1">


Also make sure all of your ports are forwarded

[2dgreengiant]

<LogonDatabase Hostname = "localhost"
Username = "root"
Password = "root"
Name = "ascentlogon"
Port = "3306"
Type = "1">

change localhost to 127.0.0.1

<LogonServer Address = "darkhorizon.no-ip.biz"
Port = "8093"
Name = "Default Logon"
RealmCount = "1">

change darkhorizon.no-ip.biz to 127.0.0.1

[Hostilex12345]

Thanks guys, I'll try it out!

[Hostilex12345]

Just an update guys, I tried both and neither worked. It might be the port problem though, which need to be forwarded? Please help! Thanks.

[Hostilex12345]

Alrighty -- I changed a few things around and now everytime I start the .exe (other than logonserver.exe) It crashes after giving me this error.

Bind unsuccessful on part 8129.

What do I do?

[Hostilex12345]

Okay -- I'm running it on windows XP (So I don't think admin permissions should be a problem like Vista)

Does anyone have an idea? I'm getting really ticked -- lol.

[2dgreengiant]

have your forwarded that port? and have you edited your hosts file?

[Hostilex12345]

Eh, guess you can't talk about it on MSN -- lol.

Well anyways.

Anyone got a suggestion?

What do I do with that host file thingy?

1. Check That ur Ports are opend.
2. Go in to Windows - System32 - drivers - etc Open Hosts With NotePad, Make a New Line.

Local IP adress       DNS-IP

This Worked For me! if the local Ip Does not work Try with 127.0.0.1 (LocalHost)
Hope it works!

[2dgreengiant]

hosts file should look liek this:

127.0.0.1 dns address
external ip dns address

[Nickfitt91]

hosts file should look liek this:

127.0.0.1 dns address
external ip dns address

The external ip Is Changed every time The Internet Dcs, (For Some)

[TheSpidey]

Leave it at internal ip

120 seconds on the hosts file:
The hosts file contains a list of URLs you don't want to query the DNS about. Instead, you automatically redirect to the bound address.
Each line in the file looks like this:
ip dns
Of course you can also put ip ip, or dns dns. What it will be doing, is to redirect dns to ip, so for example
127.0.0.1 google.com
Means every time you'll try to reach google.com, you'll actually get redirected to your own pc.
What is this good for?
>Blocking ads - just bind the ad sites to your local ip
>Blocking spyware - Spybot uses this method when you do "immunize"
>Eliminating unneeded communication with the DNS server for addresses we already know the ip for.
When not to use it:
>When the ip is dynamic

When do server owners use it?
Server owners redirect their url to themselves. Say you have the domain wtf.com. It's yours, it redirects to you and everything.
Write this in the hosts file:
127.0.0.1 wtf.com
Now instead of querying the DNS every time it gets flushed, your pc automatically redirects wtf.com connections to 127.0.0.1.
You can try this too:
127.0.0.1 mypc
Now each time you try to access http://mypc/, you'll get redirected to yourself.


Edit: Should I elaborate more on this in a new thread?
