Alright, So recently, I was trying to go public with my private server
All of the guides in the repacks were, Shit, no offense to the people who made said repacks.
If you want to get it done the right way the first time, Follow Both of these guides, Make sure your settings are complete using info from both of them.
These guides were not made by me, Hell, I'll even quote the post entirely. Along with the the links of the threads they were originally obtained from.
Was this helpful? +Rep to JulianX and sign up to AC-Webs and +Rep Thorz too, I didn't write anything in these guides, I'm just simplifying the act of obtaining the information by making a 1 stop topic.
Have anything negative to say about this topic? Don't post.
Have a fancy night my darlings.

Alright. Finally released? Try. Finally updated. LOL. This tutorial is going to tell you how to make your Antrix server public without having to use Hamachi.
Don't have the latest AC-Web release? Click here.
The tutorial is broken down into parts to make it easy to read and follow. Also, the video tutorial was added for further easyness.
VIDEO: Click here.
Part One:
1. Open your Internet Browser. (Firefox. Internet Explorer.)
2. Go to DynDNS.Com and create and account if you don't already have one.
3. Log In, and click on the "Services" tab.
4. Now, Click on Dynamic DNS.
5. Click on Create Host.
6. Fill out the fields. Leave everything default except wildcard. Make sure it's checked.
7. Click add host, and your done with part one.
Part Two:
1. Go to Start. Then Run.
2. Type. C:WindowsSystem32DriversEtc
3. This will open a folder, Click on Host.file and open it with Notepad/Wordpad.
4. At the end of the file add the following.
Code:
127.0.0.1 (Dynamic DNS)
(Internal IP) (Dynamic DNS)
(External IP) (Dynamic DNS)
Dynamic DNS = The DNS you just created at DynDNS.Com
Internal IP = Your IP of the computer you are running the Antrix server on, This can be found by going to Start, then Run. Typing in CMD, once the Windows command Prompt opens type in "ipconfig". You will get a readout the one you are looking for is "Ip Address" it normally starts with 192.
External IP = You outbound ip assigned by your ISP. You can find this by visiting WhatIsMyIP.com.
5. Save and Quit.
Part Three:
1. Open your AC Web Ultimate Repack folder which is saved in your C:.
2. Open the Ascent folder.
3. Open your Realms.CONF file with Notepad/Wordpad.
4. Change
Code:
RealmCount ="2"> It should say 2, not 1.
5. Change
Code:
<Realm1 Name = "YOUR REALM NAME"
Address = "YOUR EXTERNAL IP:8129"
Icon = "PVP"
Colour = "1"
Population = "1.0"
TimeZone = "1">
<Realm2 Name = "YOUR REALM NAME - Local"
Address = "127.0.0.1:8129"
Icon = "PVP"
Colour = "1"
Population = "1.0"
TimeZone = "1">
That's what it should look like. You should have two realms. If your confuesed, you can watch the video, and it can explain it better.
6. Save and Exit. Your done with part three.
Part Four:
*Note: I know this part confuses A LOT of people.. So, Watch the movie. It's so much easier.*
1. Find out what the IP Address is, which allows you to connect to your router. I know Netgear is 192.168.0.1. If you don't know.. Ask your parents, a friend, or your routers help line.
2. Once you connect, it should ask for a Username & Password. The username is Admin. The password is either admin, or password.
3. Forward the following ports. If you don't know how.. Ask.
*Note: Don't use DMZ! It doesn't work. Period.*
3724 - 3724
80 - 80
3306 - 3306
8129 - 8129
8093 -8093
6112 - 6112
6881-6999
3036 - 3036
8050 -8050
4. If your router has a built in firewall, disable it. Along with any windows firewall you have. Unless you know how to set an exception.
Part Five:
Connecting to your Antrix server.
1. Open your World of Warcraft directory.
2. Copy your realmlist.wtf, and rename the second one to realmlist2.wtf. (This is so you still have the live server addresses.)
3. Open your realmlist.wtf in Notepad/Wordpad.
4. Delete everything, and add "set realmlist 127.0.0.1"
5. Save and Exit. Move on to part six.
Part Six:
Getting your friends to connect to your Antrix server.
1. Have them open their World of Warcraft directory.
2. Have them make a copy of their original realmlist.wtf, so they can still play live WoW.
3. Have them open realmlist.wtf in Notepad/Wordpad.
4. Have them delete everything, and add "set realmlist (Your Dynamic DNS, which you created in part one.)
5. Have them Save, Exit & Connect.
If you did everything correctly. Your server is now public. No Hamachi. Your friends can connect and you can all do whatever you want.
If for some reason, it's not working.. Watch the video. Maybe, you read someting wrong. If you still can't get it to work, Ask. We will be more than willing to help.
*Note: Dynamic DNS's can no longer be bought through the Shop. Since we don't have one anymore. They are still avaliable to VIP users though. *
Thank you,
Thorz

Hamachi Guide
Step 1:: Download Hamachi
Hamachi - http://files.hamachi.cc/HamachiSetup-1.0.2.1-en.exe
Step 2 :: Installing Hamachi
1. Ok when you have Hamachi downloaded, install it to your computer.
2. Then it should look like a grey window with three buttons at the bottom, which should be Power, Create or Join Networks and Configure Hamachi.
3. Click on power (if it's not on yet),then click on Create a new Network. Remember username and password are CaSe SeNsAtIVe.
4. When you made a network make friends connect to that network,and make friends change there realmlist.wtf to your hamachi IP address which should be on top of your hamachi window.
Example - set realmlist 5.163.218.240
Step 3 :: Configuring Ascent
1. Ok what you do is open your logonserver.conf
scroll down until you see this:
Code:
# Host Directive
#
# This is the address that the realmlist will listen on.
# To listen on all addresses, set it to 0.0.0.0
# Default: 127.0.0.1 (localhost)
#
# Note: ISHost is the interserver communication listener.
#
<Listen Host = "0.0.0.0" << all you have to do is change this
ISHost = "0.0.0.0" << and this to you hamachi IP address
RealmListPort = "3724"
ServerPort = "8093">
save and close.
2. Open up your logonserver.conf
Go down till you see this:
Code:
<LogonServer Address = "127.0.0.1" << Change this to your hamachi IP
Port = "8093"
Name = "Default Logon"
RealmCount = "1">
3. Scroll further down until you see:
Code:
<Realm1 Name = "test realm"
Address = "127.0.0.1:8129" << Change the 127.0.0.1 ONLY to your hamachi ip address
Icon = "PVP"
Colour = "1"
Population = "1.0"
TimeZone = "1">
save and close
4. Finally Open up your Ascent.Conf
Now look for something like this:
Code:
<Listen Host = "127.0.0.1"<<<Change this to your Hamachi IP Address
WorldServerPort = "8129"
Non-Hamachi Guide
Step 1.
1. Visit DynDNS.Com and Create an account.
2. Log in and click "Services" on the menu.
3. Under DNS Services there will be an option called Dynamic DNS. Click it.
4. Click on "Create Host."
5. Fill out the required fields, don't forget to check the box "Enable Wildcard."
6. Click "Add Host" and your done with this portion of the guide.
Step 2.
1. Open C:WindowsSystem32DriversEtcHosts.file
2. At the end of the File add the following.
Code:
127.0.0.1 (Dynamic DNS)
Dynamic DNS = The DNS you just created at DynDNS.Com
Step 3.
1. Open your Realms.conf file in your server files folder.
2. Change at the bottom of your realms.conf to look like this.
Code:
Realm1.Name = "YOUR REALM NAME"
Realm1.Address = "YOUR DNS HOST NAME:8129"
Realm1.Icon = "PVP"
Realm1.Colour = 1
Realm1.Population = 0
Realm1.TimeZone = 1
3. Save and exit. You are now done with this part of the guide.
Step 4.
1. Connect to your router. This can normally be done by typing in 192.168.0.1. If your not sure what it is, then go to Start- Run- Type cmd- Type ipconfig. You should see the ip address like above, change the last sequence in it to a 1 and it should work. If you are still having issues consult your routers website on how to login to your router.
2. Now, It's time to forward the ports. Go into your port forwarding section under your router and forward;
Code:
3724 - 3724
80 - 80
3306 - 3306
8129 - 8129
8093 -8093
6112 - 6112
6881-6999
3036 - 3036
8050 -8050
3. If you have a Firewall disable it if you don't know how to set exceptions with it.
Step 5.
>This next part is for how you connect.<
1. Go into your World of Warcraft game directory.
2. Open realmlist.WTF in Notepad.
3. Replace everything in it with "set realmlist 127.0.0.1"
Note: I suggest you make a copy of the realmlist before changing the info so you can still connect to the Live WoW servers.
Step 6.
>Getting a friend to connect.<
1. Follow the above steps, except when in realmlist. WTF have them change it to "set realmlist (Dynamic DNS)"
If everything is done correctly you should have a public server with out Hamachi, and you and your friends can have all the fun you want. If you are confused or need help please feel free to post your confusion. Also, Please let us know how well this tutorial works out for you, so we can improve it.
