Host can't connect

[nichoray10]

I can't connect to my server but my friends can and I also tried to connect using my other computer and doesn't work so i really need help.
for more info i got configs all correct my realmlist is 127.0.0.1

I'm not an emu expert by far, but if I had to guess I'd say your other computers are still on the same network as your server and your friends aren't. 127.0.0.1 is what is called a loopback address, that is to say it never leaves the computer you're on. This is all good and well for connecting to a server running on the same machine as your client, but for any other machines you will need a different address.

In addition with the emu's I've played with you set it up to listen on a certain address. Odds are you are listening on your LAN's IP for that machine (192.168.1.105 or something) and because of that connecting on 127.0.0.1 won't work (even if you are on the same machine as your server). Try setting your realmlist to what your friend's have theirs set to and see if that helps.

Have you checked to make sure all the proper ports on your router (if applicable) are open?

[nichoray10]

yes... i have At&t router tho and yes i did do the ports

Try running a trace to the server and posting the results here.

Start -> Run -> cmd -> tracert 555.555.555.555

replace the 555's with the IP of the server.

[nichoray10]

heres the result

Tracing route to divine-wow.game-host.org [my ip]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

1 1ms 1ms 1ms divine-wow.game-host.org [my ip]

Trace complete.

[dejavu11]

It showing that there's only one hop means it's trying to just use your local interface (127.0.0.1) for whatever reason to get to the server still (I don't run any dyndns or similar setups so I'm not 100% sure how they work).

Try setting your realmlist to your actual internet IP (What's My IP?)
