Friends can't connect to my server

[Akisunmaaji]

So I followed this guide to get my friends to connect to my 3.0.9 Ascent server:

And I can connect just fine but my friends get stuck at connecting. Any tips please? I have no idea what could be causing this.

Just looked at the guide, please post your logon.conf
Also..

<Realm1 Name = "YOUR REALM NAME"
Address = "External IP:8129"
Icon = "PVP"
Colour = "1"
Population = "1.0"
TimeZone = "1">

Sorry for the delay, got caught up with things. Here is my arcemu-realms.conf:

# 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 = "yourmom1"
               Name     = "logon"

               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 
#    600 seconds = 10 minutes - 1 second = 0.0166666667 minutes 300 seconds = 5 minutes, 150 seconds = 2.5minutes
#    
#

<Rates AccountRefresh = "15">

# 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 3.0.9 was build 9551.
#

<Client MinBuild = "9551"
        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 = "yourmom1"
             AllowedIPs = "127.0.0.1/24"
             AllowedModIPs = "127.0.0.1/24">

And yes my realms does have that info correct that you posted.

Looks fine to me.. maybe he's got the wrong realm list or inputting data wrong, that's all I can think of.

[Mildan]

All I would know is...

<Listen Host = "0.0.0.0"
        ISHost = "0.0.0.0"
        RealmListPort = "3724"
        ServerPort = "8093">

Should be more like

<Listen Host = "127.0.0.1"
        ISHost = "127.0.0.1"
        RealmListPort = "3724"
        ServerPort = "8093">

I think it helps abit.. not sure..

Hmm. Just a question first, if I just put my IP (the one I got from whatismyip.com) into all the places where I should have put my no-ip url and I gave my friends my IP to put into the realmlist, should it work that way? I'm not going to host this online or anything I just want my friends to play and I trust them with my IP.

All I would know is...

<Listen Host = "0.0.0.0"
        ISHost = "0.0.0.0"
        RealmListPort = "3724"
        ServerPort = "8093">

Should be more like

<Listen Host = "127.0.0.1"
        ISHost = "127.0.0.1"
        RealmListPort = "3724"
        ServerPort = "8093">

I think it helps abit.. not sure..

Well the 0.0.0.0 means it's listening on all addresses so that shouldn't matter.

Your IP could be dynamic, that might be causing the problem?

And your external IP should be the realmlist

[jwate22]

Any fire walls? like norton360? well i got the same problem lol :P

done the portforwds right? lol idk Good luck tho

[september]

1. Yes so you need to be sure that like said.. it's not dynamic ( that your ip does not change) if your ip changes you will need dyndns or to give your ip to your friends everytime it changes.

2. make sure no windows or anivirus software firewallls are blocking.

3. Be sure all your ports are configured.

Lsit all the steps you have taken to get the server config.ed and going that will help with getting help
