I need some more help

[Ravenouzly]

The noobiest noob on the forum is back! But this time, I got the server up and running, I could log on, use every command. But now the twist. I had made 5 more accounts, I could use them on my computer, but my friends couldn't use them, period, although I could on my computer. What to do? Not using Hamachi, or Dynamic IP, i just want a private server with my friends, does that really require hamachi and Dyna-IP?
Thanks in Advance.

[Ravenouzly]

I'm using your repack, I think that's ascent.

[weaselking1973]

then you will need to setup a public connection to allow them to connect

ether

static IP
dynamic
or the
hamachie junk

To quote a reply to a post i just made where i was helping someone else lol

For a public server (Non Hamachi cause its junk) I use DNS so the settings in all these files are for DNS to use dns go here https://www.dyndns.com/ and get a dns :P to find your public ip go to What's My IP

then you have to edit your C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file to read something like this local ip you can get by opening a command window and typing ipconfig.. replace all http://my.dnsname.net with your new DNS name

127.0.0.1 localhost

127.0.0.1 http://my.dnsname.net
ypurpublicip http://my.dnsname.net
yourlocalip http://my.dnsname.net

logonserver.cfg (Note: if your sql un/pw is different then modify that to what you need as well as the database name, but if you are using default then dont change anything from what i have)

<LogonDatabase Hostname = "127.0.0.1"
Username = "root"
Password = "ascent"
Name = "ascent"
Port = "3306"
Type = "1">

<Listen Host = "0.0.0.0"
ISHost = "0.0.0.0"
RealmListPort = "3724"
ServerPort = "8093">

<Client MinBuild = "5000"
MaxBuild = "8000">

ascent.cfg (Note: if your sql un/pw is different then modify that to what you need as well as the database name, but if you are using default then don't change anything from what i have)

<WorldDatabase Hostname = "127.0.0.1" Username = "root" Password = "ascent" Name = "ascent" Port = "3306" Type = "1">
<CharacterDatabase Hostname = "127.0.0.1" Username = "root" Password = "ascent" Name = "ascent" Port = "3306" Type = "1">


<Listen Host = "0.0.0.0"
WorldServerPort = "8129">

Realms.cfg (Note: where it says yourpubliciphere change that to your public ip to find your public ip go to What's My IP Address? Your IP is 66.79.167.170

<LogonServer Address = "127.0.0.1"
Port = "8093"
Name = "realmname"
RealmCount = "1">

<Realm1 Name = "realmname"
Address = "yourpubliciphere:8129"
Icon = "Normal"
Colour = "1"
Population = "2"
TimeZone = "1">

then after you do that have your friends edit their realmlist.wtf file in their and your WoW directory the top line change the us.blahblahblah to http://my.dnsname.net

Then if you have a router.. you have even more work to do.. you need to open some ports

3724 - 3724
80 - 80
3306 - 3306
8129 - 8129
8093 - 8093
6112 - 6112
6881 - 6999
3036 - 3036
8050 - 8050

yep then u have to edit your config files mate

[Ravenouzly]

How do I open ports?

[LJN]

192.168.1.1 is the default for Linksys brand use that IP in the browser.

If you don't have Linksys then find out your Internet Provider, you can do that by opening command prompt then typeing ipconfig and you should see something.blah.com

There will be a password the default is admin, admin or admin and no pass

If you get In find port fowrding and then open them there. it will ask for a ip if you have Linksys so in the command prompt look for ip address and us that ip.
