friends can connect but i can't

[Bigdog]

Im doing panex 6.4.2

I used the youtube tutorial and a friend who had success walked me through it. It works for any of my friends who connect however i cannot. I can log in as default admin however it never reaches the character list. It stops at "Connected"

There is a topic on this forum that suggests to modify my "hosts" IP in System 32.

The topic suggested a fix but was not spacific enough for me. I cannot find this file and do not understand what to change.

Any thoughts?

It should be in your C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\Drivers\etc\ file, its called hosts.

then just add what they say

Also post your configs please.

# LogonDatabase Section
#
# These directives are the location of the `realms` and `accounts`
# tables.
#
# LogonDatabase.Host - The hostname that the database is located on
# LogonDatabase.Username - The username used for the mysql connection
# LogonDatabase.Password - The password used for the mysql connection
# LogonDatabase.Name - The database name
# LogonDatabase.Port - Port that MySQL listens on. Usually 3306.
# LogonDatabase.Type - Client to use. 1 = MySQL, 2 = PostgreSQL, 3 = Oracle 10g
#

<LogonDatabase Hostname = "localhost"
Username = "root"
Password = "panex"
Name = "ascent"
Port = "3306"
Type = "1">


# 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"
ISHost = "0.0.0.0"
RealmListPort = "3724"
ServerPort = "8093">

# Server console logging level
#
# This directive controls how much output the server will
# display in it's console. Set to 0 for none.
# 0 = Minimum; 1 = Error; 2 = Detail; 3 = Full/Debug
# Default: 3
#

<LogLevel Screen = "0"
File = "-1">

# Account Refresh Time
#
# This controls on which time interval accounts gets
# refreshed. (In seconds)
# Default = 600
#

<Rates AccountRefresh = "600">

# Accepted Build Range Setup
#
# These two directives set up which clients will be
# allowed to authenticate with the realm list.
#
# Set these to the same builds that the server was
# compiled for.
#
# As of the last update, version 2.1.1 was build 6739.
#

<Client MinBuild = "8606"
MaxBuild = "9999">

# WorldServer Setup
#
# RemotePassword
# This directive controls the password used to authenticate with the worldserver.
# It must be the same between the two configs. If it is not, your server will
# not register.
#
# Default: "change_me_logon"
#
# AllowedIPs
# This section MUST be completed, otherwise all attempts to link your servers will fail.
# These "Allowed" fields are a space-seperated list of CIDR-form IP addresses that are allowed
# to make server connections to your logonserver, and register realms.
# 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)
#

<LogonServer RemotePassword = "ascent"
AllowedIPs = "127.0.0.1/24"
AllowedModIPs = "127.0.0.1/24">

I edited my "hosts" file server source to point at my hamachi IP and it still would not conect. Upon opening the game and entering UN/Pass the box stops at connected. My friends still say it works fine for them.

[Bigdog]

was that what you needed?

[lilbdiablo12]

did you set your realmlist.wtf to you hamachi ip?

when using hamachi i never touched the hosts file... idk if it effects it any lol.

[Bigdog]

I did

it connects and identifies the server i set. (as to say i can see the server that i names "Movie Server") it simply won't access it.

and again, all my friends can also see it and access it. They ahve made chatacters and logged in. I get stopped after i input my Username and password between that and actual log in. it stops at connected. If i click cancle it shows me the server list. Same effect if i try it from there.

[lilbdiablo12]

I see lol.... Well im having problems making mine public w/o hamachi lol

[Bigdog]

If anyone needs more information on this issue, i'd be happy to provide. As you can see by the servername, i have a big project and need this to work.

Please dont give up!!

[Fireblast]

add
<Realm2 Name = "Movie Server;Local"
Address = "127.0.0.1:8129"
Icon = "PVP"
Population = "1.0"
TimeZone = "1">

and

<LogonServer Address = "127.0.0.1"
Port = "8093"
Name = "Default Logon"
RealmCount = "2">

[Bigdog]

checking it now

[Bigdog]

same thing... it stops at "connected" I will mod the "servers" info back and try it that way aswell.

[Bigdog]

I made the modifications. It still stops at "connected" when i hit cancel it shows me 2 servers.

"Movie Server; Local"
"SomeRealm"

I tried changint the ; to a : and all it did was show "Movie Server Local"

Still no access to the character list.


I tried it with my system32 "hosts" file in 2 states. one with 127.0.0.1 Localhost and as my hamachi IP as Server source.


It simply wont access Character list. Friends still say they have No Probs.

[Bigdog]

after uninstalling and reinstalling the panex repack, it still has the same effect.

is it possible this is a Windows Vista issue and i need to be more spacific with ports? maybe the character list port? Database port? anything? I've tried all the combinations i could.

It Still only makes it to "Connected" and i can still see the realm/realms in the Realm List.


and thanks for helping. this is a pretty big project and im stopped cold here til a solution is found.

Vista causes so many problems with emulators its unbelievable Usually its either what Fireblast said or your hosts file...Dunno if vista is the one to blame this time(As always try running everything as admin and make sure you got everything right)
