[bpagelax]

thanks for this post

Easiset without a router, but if it's easy, then it's danger!

Else, Dlink shouldn't be to hard

Ok, what is the best router (or easyest) for this to be done with?

I find that Linksys routers are easy to forward, and they don't require much else to allow for hosting. It's someone difficult to set up, but absolutely worth the performance. Honestly, an router is fairly easy to set up... you just have to know how to get into it.

I havent done this is months, I deleted all Visual C++ off of my computer so i forgot what i had to put back on to compile arcemu. Thanks for the help!

I can't find a VC folder in the Arc Emu folder.

I can find one in my Visual Studio C++ folder

Step 4: After it's done, close visual C++ for now. Go back to your sources folder. In there, you should see a folder called 'Output_Release'. Go in there. You'll see 2 .lib files. Copy and paste those 2 files into your lib folder in your visual C++ directory. Should be C:/Program Fies/Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0/VC/lib. You'll also get 2 .dll files. You need to move those to your C:/Windows/System32 directory.

I only have 1 dll file Microsoft.VisualC.STLCLR.dll. Any ideas?


Do i need the entire wow directory installed on my host Computer?

In the ArcEmu folder you downloaded, there should be a folder plainly called 'VC'. It's in the folder.

"Now go to the VC folder inside 'arcemu'. Copy both the 'include' and 'lib' files from your 'arcemu' folder to the VC folder in your visual C++ directory."

That should fix it.

Did you make sure to change Visual C++ from debug to release?
