Can't log into my own server but others can.

[Smurffytime]

I am very new to running a server. This afternoon is all I have spent to get it up and onto public. My friends can connect but I get stuck at Realm Selection as if the server was in a loop. You can connect to your own server while public can you not? Probably something simple a nub wouldn't know :confused:

Help would be appreciated.

Wrong reamlist ?

if your running the server locally, make sure you set it to your local ip.

i know nothing about emu servers, but sounds like you may be trying to use external ip

Is it just the fact that I'm trying to run a client and server on the same machine?

[Vragoth]

The fact that your running client & server on same machine shouldn't and won't affect you in anyway .
Go to realmlist.wtf ( Inside your warcraft folder )
Then do this ,

set realmlist 
set patchlist

realmlist & patchlist are the same .

Example :
Set reamlist 127.0.0.1
set patchlist 127.0.0.1

See if that solves it .

Nope. That doesn't work it does the same thing as when I use my internal/external. BTW the realm list my friends are using is my external ip. When I use the dyndns.com address it fails to connect completely. I'm assuming I must have an ip in the wrong place in one of the config files or something. I have not asked them to test out the other realm lists.

Edit: Going to bed. I'll post what I have in my files tomorrow if needed.

What core are you using?

Go into your realms.conf

Go to bottom and copy the last pieces and paste them below and change the ip to 127.0.0.1.

Post your realms config so that I can better show you.

If you're using Trinity or MaNGOS, go into the auth/realmd database and add a new row in the "realmlist" table with 127.0.0.1 in the address field.

If you're using Arcemu, follow spelleffect's advice.

<LogonServer Address = "127.0.0.1"
Port = "8093"
Name = "Default Logon"
RealmCount = "1">

<Realm1 Name = "*** WoW"
Address = "***.dyndns-server.com:8129"
Icon = "PVP"
Population = "0.0"
TimeZone = "1">

That's what I have in my realms.conf - Yes I'm using arcemu

[Multitask]

<LogonServer Address = "127.0.0.1"
Port = "8093"
Name = "Default Logon"
RealmCount = "1">

<Realm1 Name = "*** WoW"
Address = "***.dyndns-server.com:8129"
Icon = "PVP"
Population = "0.0"
TimeZone = "1">

That's what I have in my realms.conf - Yes I'm using arcemu

i think the error is with your ream, im assuming your using dyndns to hide your external ip, and you are not able to connect to it because its your external address

[Terrorblade]

<LogonServer Address = "127.0.0.1"
Port = "8093"
Name = "Default Logon"
RealmCount = "2">

<Realm1 Name = "*** WoW"
Address = "***.dyndns-server.com:8129"
Icon = "PVP"
Population = "0.0"
TimeZone = "1">
<Realm2 Name = "localhost"
Address = localhost"
Icon = "PVP"
Population = "0.0"
TimeZone = "1">
fix'd just have to use the localhost realm.

That didn't change anything.
