Hello again MMowned, ive seen alot of guides to make servers public and people always get problems. This method has always gotten my server public. Its simple and easy.
Step 1
find out your ip address
Code:
http://www.whatsmyip.org/
Step 2
Open realm.conf and change 127.0.0.1 t your ip address
For Example:
Code:
<Realm1 Name = "Your Server Name Here"
Address = "Your Ip Address Here:8129"
Icon = "PVP"
Colour = "1"
Population = "1.0"
TimeZone = "1">
Step 3
Forwarding prots [Hard part]
Now this is soo important to make your server public.
You need to forward:
3724 - 3724
80 - 80 [Only for a website if u want to host one]
3306 - 3306
8129 - 8129
8093 -8093
6112 - 6112
6881-6999
3036 - 3036
8050 -8050
All on TCP and UDP
Step 4
Go to dyndns.com and create an account. Then crate a dynamic ip. Where it says enter your ip palce the ip that you got from What's My IP Address? Your IP is 206.71.153.240
Step 5
Open my computer or my documents and go to:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc
and open the file hosts with notepad, it should look like this:
Code:
# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 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
127.0.0.1 localhost
change to this
127.0.0.1 [your dynamic ip ]
[your ip address] [your dynamic ip]
For example
127.0.0.1 cityofdarkenss.ath.cx
86.123.456.789 cityofdarkness.ath.cx
Thats ip, start your server up and give the dynamic ip to your friends.
