issue with connection

[jijiya]

I am having yet another problem. My server lets connections go through but will not connect to the realm it goes "logging in to game server" and re-brings up my realm list and just loops from there. I am pretty sure I have done everything correctly and forwarded all of the ports. I have a strange feeling it is the DSL modem that is doing it but I am not sure.. here are my realm and logon configs

#
#    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.

any help would be greatly appreciated.


Some added Information just in case its needed.

I am running on a DSL connection at the moment. and the properties are MUCH like router properties.. I can access it like I do my router.. It also has port forwarding but it is strange and I am unsure on how I would configure it.. I tried to forward the ports on it as well but it did nothing to help. Would I need to do Dynamic Routing? If so I am unsure how to do this.. If needed I will post a screenie of the sections it has so I can receive help.

ok i fallowed what you said and its telling me there was an unsuccessful bind on port 3724 and then the logon server applet shuts down. I don't understand what could be going on here since that port was forwarded...I even double checked and it is in the list of forwarded ports..

thanks for the help too

<Listen Host = "71.217.214.107"
        ISHost = "71.217.214.107"

= NO

keep them 0.0.0.0

127.0.0.1   smserv2.mine.nu
192.168.1.100  smserv2.mine.nu
71.217.214.107 smserv2.mine.nu

You only have to bind to 127.0.0.1

and keep the localhost in...
so

127.0.0.1 smserv2.mine.nu
127.0.0.1 localhost

<LogonServer Address = "71.217.214.107"
	Port = "8093"
	Name = "world2"
	RealmCount = "1">

again..if you're hosting from home keep it 127.0.0.1

    AllowedIPs = "71.217.214.107/24"
             AllowedModIPs = "71.217.214.107/24">

same for this.


The configs u posted look fine, just make sure you've got your ports forwarded correctly & that your firewall allows connections from outside(open ports in your firewall).

Also make sure your ip address is up2date

[Edude]

Im pretty sure that your realm port is not open

Open port 8129

[jijiya]

Its still not working.. I get to the character selection screen and then it just says logging to game server and then sends me to the realm list and just loops from there..

these are the ports I forwarded.

3724-3724
80-80
3306-3306
8093-8093
6112-6112
3036-3036
8050-8050
6056-6056
6881-6999

In the modem settings I found in its forwarding section a selection called GRE, and I have no Idea what this means since I have never seen it before. Here is a picture of the modem settings.. (this is the modem NOT my router) Settings page

It looks very similar to my router and so I tried to port forward on here too wich also did not help.. but then I could be doing it wrong.

[Edude]

did you open the ports on your firewall?

[Aznex]

3724-3724
80-80
3306-3306
8093-8093
6112-6112
3036-3036
8050-8050
6056-6056
6881-6999

where's 8129?

[gangstagreen]

If you don't forward them all, it wont seep.

[jijiya]

where's 8129?

Yea I checked and, I have that one too. I must have looked over it when i was typing them here.

and again yes i did forward all my ports... i cant help but think its the settings on the DSL modem if anyone knows how to configure DSL for this please let me know.

Are you connecting to your server from a computer on the same network or from a remote client somewhere on the Internet? If it's on the same network you'll need to add a second Realm with the address set to the private IP of your server, or set the hosts file on the client accordingly.
