Once MySQL has downloaded install and follow the steps and same with navicat make sure you use basic installation.

FOR BOTH UDP and TCP Once your done.
GO TO Dynamic DNS hosting service!
Make an account then follow these steps:
Click on
Services
then
DynamicDNS
then
Press Get Started
Fill out the table and make sure you use the Auto Detected IP and have wildcard Checked. Once done click create host and write down the name.
Then go to whatismyip
For you external IP which you need (write it down).
Go to Start, run and type in CMD or Command
Type in /ipconfig and a list will come up.
Find your IP address and write it down EG: 192.168.1.X
Go to Start, Run and search C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc
And open hosts with notepad.
Down the bottem add this in:
ip config IP Your.DynDNS.host
whatismyip IP Your.DynDNS.host
So it looks like this for example:
192.168.1.12 mydns.game-host.org
51.234.212.31 mydns.game-host.org
Ive seen Localhost or 127.0.0.1 in it, which is not necesary
NOW go to your Arc Emu file and open "configs" and open your Arc-REALMS.conf file
And change these fields:
Code:<LogonServer Address = "your DynDNS" Port = "8093" Name = "Default Logon" RealmCount = "1">KEEP THE :8129Code:Realm1 Name = "Jackies Sanctum" Address = "whatismyip.com:8129" Icon = "PVP" Population = "1.0" TimeZone = "1">
Now open you Arc-LOGONSERVER.conf file.
Now get your friends to change there realmlist to your DNS and your ready to play!Code:<Listen Host = "DynDNS" ISHost = "Ipconfig IP" RealmListPort = "3724" ServerPort = "8093">
Bonus HELP!
Open your World.conf files and delete the Die directives and the localization setup so your optional.conf file can work (means optional instant 70 and more!)
Realm Looping
Open your Realms.conf file and change the following:
And down the bottom add:Code:<LogonServer Address = "127.0.0.1" Port = "8093" Name = "Default Logon" RealmCount = "2">
Open you ascent-logonserver.conf and change:Code:<Realm1 Name = "Jackies Sanctum" Address = "whatismyip.com:8129" Icon = "PVP" Population = "1.0" TimeZone = "1"> <Realm2 Name = "Admin Only" Address = "IpconfigIP:8129" Icon = "PVP" Population = "1.0" TimeZone = "1">
See the /32 if it doesn't work for you change it to /24 depends on the modemCode:<LogonServer RemotePassword = "ascent" AllowedIPs = "IpconfigIP/32" AllowedModIPs = "IpconfigIP/32">
Remember start your server using the arc emu file the AC web in your c:/ drive is a directorY!
