Network trouble

[Wolverine77]

on my laptop i can connect to my website using the internal router ip 192.168.x.xx

but when i try to connect to the server using the internal i get realm loop.

So when you try to connect with 127.0.0.1 it wont work?

[Wolverine77]

using 127.0.0.1 gives me unable to connect

[Herleybob]

Is your website hosted off of your computer?

[Wolverine77]

website and server on same PC

[Herleybob]

Do you have a Dyndns.org account and dynamic DNS set up?

[Wolverine77]

wickedwarcraft.game-host.org is my dynDNS

[Herleybob]

I can go to the website, Looks like the WoW Website.

[Wolverine77]

yes...but my laptop cant connect to my server...and its on the same router

What IP did you put in the realms conf file?

[Wolverine77]

<LogonServer Address = "127.0.0.1"
Port = "8093"
Name = "Default Logon"
RealmCount = "2">

<Realm1 Name = "Wicked Warcraft"
Address = "68.72.47.XXX:8129"
Icon = "PVP"
Colour = "1"
Population = "1.0"
TimeZone = "1">
<Realm2 Name = "Test Realm"
Address = "127.0.0.1:8129"
Icon = "PVP"
Colour = "1"
Population = "1.0">

Neither of those will work if you are trying to connect from your laptop to your server. Change the Address for Realm2 to be the private IP of your server (i.e. 192.168.1.2:8129)

i know this is going to sound stupid, but do you have a firewall.... i know...um a "friend" who had a problem with that once....... NOT ME!!!!!!!.........

EDIT: Even if you can connect from an outside computer, often firewalls have an uncanny tendency to auto-block any incoming connections from ip's that start with 192.168.xxx.xxx (they only block local connections I know, go figure) but anyways, that was my problem when i started... i mean my friend started a private server

Why use two realms? Just bind the domain to your internal IP in the hosts file
