How to make a public server non hamachi [WORKING][ASCENT/ARCEMU]

[PBDJ1]

First step: Download an arcemu/ascent repack of mmowned or a c- w e b

Second step: Extract the repack to your C drive using winrar or install the repack

Third step: go to www.no-ip.com, click create account, create an account and when it is create login and click ''Add a Host'', type in the left box your server name: like Ubercool then in the right box select an no-ip free domain like no-ip.org, leave all as it is and then in the right bottom click create host, write the domain name you see down: like Ubercool.no-ip.org.

Fourth step: go to whatsmyip.org and write down the number it displays.

Fifth step: go to cmd (command prompt) and write down ipconfig, scroll up and search for the line: Ethernet-adapter for LAN connection, write down the number at standard gateway (I don't know what the name is at your place, but its something like: 3numbers.3numbers.1number.1number)


Sixth step: Go to the place where you extracted/installed your repack, open your arcemu/ascent folder, configs folder and then open logon.conf and make sure it looks like this

*    For example, everything in the 127.0.0.* range would be:
*         127.0.0.0/24, as 24 of the bits must match the 127.0.0.0
*
*    To allow a single IP,
*         1.3.3.7/32, would allow only 1.3.3.7 to connect as 32 of the bits must match.

*  AllowedModIPs
*    In the same form as AllowedIPs, these are the IPs that are allowed to modify the database
*    (adding bans, GMs, account permissions, etc)

Nineth Step: Go to C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc and open the hosts file using notepad and make sure that looks like this:

# Copyright (c) 1993-2009 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
#      102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server
#       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host

# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
#	127.0.0.1 	                server domain name from no-ip.com
#	Numbers from the cmd  server domain name from no-ip.com
        IP from whatsmyip.org 	server domain name from no-ip.com

Tenth Step: This is the hard part, you have to portforward your router, insert the number from the cmd that you wrote down in your URL, fill in username and password and then go to advanced, then port forwarding or forwarding, then port forward these ports:


3724 - 3724 (all TCP)
80 - 80
3306 - 3306
8129 - 8129
8093 - 8093
6112 - 6112
6881 - 6999
3036 - 3036
8050 - 8050

Now your server is done, make sure when friends want to connect to your server, their realmlist must be your domain name (yourservename.no-ip.org) then you and your friends can play!
