Okay, make sure your ports are forwarded correctly, then make sure your settings are like this:
TrinityCore.conf:
Code:
LoginDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;root;ascent;realmd"
WorldDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;root;ascent;world_blizz"
CharacterDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;root;ascent;char_blizz"
BindIP = "Whatever.Your.Ip.Is"
TrinityRealm.conf:
Code:
LoginDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;root;ascent;realmd"
BindIP = "Whatever.Your.Ip.Is"
Then your realmd database realm entry AND your realmlist.wtf file MUST all use the same ip as the "Whatever.Your.IP.Is" in my previous text.
So, in summary, the conf files should point to 127.0.0.1 as the database location. The BindIP in both files should be the same IP that you use to connect with in the realmist file. The realmd database realm entry must also be the ip you connect with. That should work. If it doesn't, then I'd think about reinstalling it, and going over it all from the beginning step by step.
