[MaNGOS] I am stuck trying to make my server public

[rc212]

I have spent the last three days searching and searching trying and trying fiddling with this and that and I am still unable to get my server to work.

I am using the quanta Mangos based Server 3.3.2 Ver.6.27

here are my config files

realmd.conf
LoginDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;root;ascent;realmd"
LogsDir = "./logs"
MaxPingTime = 30
RealmServerPort = 3724
BindIP = "0.0.0.0"
PidFile = ""
LogLevel = 3
LogTime = 1
LogFile = "Realmd.log"
LogTimestamp = 1
LogFileLevel = 3
LogColors = ""
UseProcessors = 0
ProcessPriority = 1
RealmsStateUpdateDelay = 20
WrongPass.MaxCount = 0
WrongPass.BanTime = 600
WrongPass.BanType = 0

mangosd.conf
RealmID = 1
DataDir = "."
LogsDir = "./logs"
LoginDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;root;ascent;realmd"
WorldDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;root;ascent;mangos"
CharacterDatabaseInfo = "127.0.0.1;3306;root;ascent;characters"
MaxPingTime = 30
WorldServerPort = 8085
BindIP = "74.196.55.194"

all ports are forwarded and I updated the realmlist in the database, but now when I open mangosd.exe it loads and then crashes with this error

ERROR:Failed to open acceptor ,check if the port is free

I have tried everything including plugging straight into the modem and bypassing the router.

I would be very greatful for any help.

A port on your computer is already using what mangosd.exe needs, try and disable your computers firewall.

I don't know what it ended up being, but it just randomly started working last night. Thanks for the help though

Haha seems your not the only one that had this, someone else i was helping for some reason wouldn't bind on the port, atleast its wroking.
