Can't connect to own server!

[Neth'zul]

Hey, I got my server public and other people can connect fine.
But when I try to connect I get this'
"Connecting..."
"Unable to Connect."

Anyone know why this is happening?

Did u edit your hosts file?
if not..

go into
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc open your hosts file and add
127.0.0.1 your DNS IP

agreed and make sure ur realm list is correct
it can either be-
127.0.0.1
localhost
Dyndns host name

I have a similar problem.....i also made my server public...everyone connects just fine but when i log in i get stuck on the realm choosing screen....

Well I had it like this

127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.100 shadowwow.game-server.cc
99.224.17.154 shadowwow.game-server.cc



now its like this

127.0.0.1 shadowwow.game-server.cc
192.168.100 shadowwow.game-server.cc
99.224.17.154 shadowwow.game-server.cc

imma try it like that now

Only the first one is valid. Second one will work but the loopback is much better for compatibility, and the third one is just redundant since that's the IP you're getting from the dns anyways.
