Logging in to Game server.

[willeex]

Hi, I've been trying and hosting a server on my computer from New Project Trinity Server Repack for the client patch 3.3.5a (12340)

1.7

I changed realmd in Database and such.

NON hamachi.
Also opened all ports and edited hosts note.

But everytime I try to log in it says ''logging in to gameserver''





Sry if this is posted in wrong section or anything.

How is your home network setup?
Are you hosting from the same pc that you play from?
Are you using a router?

[willeex]

Yep router.
Thomson something.

And yea same computer.
Friends can't connect either so it's not that.

You need to open the ports in your router for your pc's internal ip (something like 192.168.#.###)
In your auth.realmlist your ip should be set to your pc's external ip (whatsmyip.com)
In your wow folder, the realmlist.wtf file should be set to your pc's internal ip (once again something like 192.168.#.###) or 127.0.0.1 will work also.
In your authserver.conf file leave the BindIP at 0.0.0.0 and LogonDataBaseInfo should have the ip 127.0.0.1

In your worldserver.conf file...
The 3 DatabaseInfo entries (Login,World,Characters) should all be 127.0.0.1
The WorldServerPort should match the port in your databases auth.realmlist
The BindIP should be 0.0.0.0 Some ppl try to change this, it should be the default setting.
Obviously the RealmID should match the id column of your auth.realmlist database entry.

I am slightly confused about the windows hosts file. Some say that you have to have a bunch of entries and some say you dont have to have any.
I am using dyndns service so mine looks like this.....

127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.1.68 mydns.com            #my pc's internal ip
192.168.1.1 mydns.com             #my routers internal ip
2##.2##.1##.## mydns.com    #my external (internet) ip

If you are not using mydns service then I dont think you have to edit this file but I am not 100% sure of this.

Hope this information helps.

Thanks I'll check it out.

BTW does that mean when someone of my friends are going to play on my server they have to set my external IP as ''set realmlist EXTERNALIP''
?!?

I did the ports, also did the Host files.
I'll check the configs in a min, thanks m8 highly appreciated.

Yes your friends will have to set their realmlist to your external/internet ip. This will be the same IP that you enter in your database.

[willeex]

Can I just add you on MSN m8?

I'm very confused (Not really, but it's easier that way) I'd really appreciate it too.

Remember I wanna make it public, I don't want it as 127.0.01, already got the server setup in local just want it public now.

In your auth.realmlist your ip should be set to your pc's external ip (whatsmyip.com)

This is how your friends are able to log on to the server. They should use this ip in their realmlist file.

The other ip's should be like I posted. All the database information in your config files should remain 127.0.0.1 since your database is on the same pc. This has nothing to do with how other players connect to your server, this just tells your exe's where your database is. Once again since you are playing from the same machine you are running the server from, you set your wow realmlist to 127.0.0.1 so your warcraft looks for the server on the same pc.

You dont need to use your external IP any place else other than in the database and your hosts file (not sure if you even need to do that since you are not using a dns server). Double check your port also. The port in the database must match that in your config file.

Why the large text? I know what you are trying to do and I am only trying to help.

I've checked the ports, and did everything you said.
But still logging in to game server... EDIT: Now it only says connecting Oo.......
I've also tested all the ports on portchecker.

If all your settings are correct then the only thing I can think of is your router. My isp gave me a router/modem (all in one) and then I run a router behind it, so it took me a while to get my server online. I will send you my messenger contact info. I am very busy this week but I should have some free time this weekend.
