Is your C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc looking like this?

127.0.0.1       localhost
127.0.0.1 wowbg.kicks-ass.org  192.168.1.3 wowbg.kicks-ass.org  72.91.169.213 wowbg.kicks-ass.org

It should be

127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.1.3 wowbg.kicks-ass.org
72.91.169.213 wowbg.kicks-ass.org

ok, thats what it is now

can you test it?

[lilbdiablo12]

127.0.0.1 =nothing DO NOT PUT that it is useless take that out and is realm looping for you or every one?

<Realm1 Name = "DominationWoW-local"
        Address = "127.0.0.1:8129"
        Icon = "PVP"
        Population = "1.0"
        TimeZone = "1">

<Realm2 Name = "DominationWoW"
        Address = "76.182.000.00:8129"   (the 0's to mask my ip)
        Icon = "PVP"
        Population = "1.0"
        TimeZone = "1">

Do that with yours it makes it very easier. and you wont have to worrie about realm. What modem/router are you using?

[Moaradin]

i dont know wtf i have.. i got a modem/router all in one.. its a action tec with verizon.. and also everyone else is getting the realm loop not me.. i can log in fine.. what do i do?

[lilbdiablo12]

Verizon blocks port 80, you will not be able to get it public unless you buy that port to be open. Otherwise you have to use hamachi.

Click for picture

On dyndns, if you havent done that.

127.0.0.1 means localhost, aka, the host is on the same computer, to make public, you must have

<Realm1 Name = "DominationWoW-local"
Address = "EXTERNAL IP:8129"
Icon = "PVP"
Population = "1.0"
TimeZone = "8">

[Moaradin]

does anyone know?

[lilbdiablo12]

i have done that and it realmlooped me when i made localhost like that... i do use Dyndns so i knwo what im doing in this much, 127.0.0.1 is pointless in your hosts file... it just simple messes with you getting into your own realm.

[Moaradin]

but isnt port 80 for the site?? and my site works fine http://wowbg.kicks-ass.org/

This is your problem verizon blocks port 80, it will always realm loop to them

[lilbdiablo12]

Your site will work fine for you because you are on your local setup i cannot get into, Although it says for website it can interfer with some realmlist issues i could host on verizon either because of that problem.
