My friends can't log in!

OK, I've downloaded P1raten's repack for 3.3.3a. I've only changed my realms file, which worked for once... and after that it didn't work any more.

My realms config.

I can't even log in to the Argent Dawn II server myself, which is the public one, but I can log in to my local server... So yeah, I hope you can help me!

[Pedregon]

What's Your Realmlist?

[mike1084]

Well, MINE is 127.0.0.1. My friends' realmlist are argentdawn2.servebeer.com

[Pedregon]

If YOU are trying to make it public change 127.0.0.1 to your ip/realmlist.

[Baltazarz]

Change your logonserver address in the realmconfig from 127.0.0.1 to your realmlist, and check if you forwarded your ports on your router, if you have no router, good for you, no need to forward.

If you still have problems, check out this

[mike1084]

OK well neither of your ideas helped (changing logonserver to my realmlist, and changing my realmlist to my external IP). I'll check out that guide you poster, Baltazarz, and I'll post what's happened!

EDIT: YES! It's working! Oh thank you so much for giving me that guide! It helped me a LOT! +rep if I could.

EDIT 2: I CAN give you rep!

EDIT 3: OK dammit... I THOUGHT it worked, since I thought "heck, I'll just put my realmlist to my external IP" since I couldn't test it with anyone... but others CAN'T join, they get a long connecting error, and after that it says 'login server down'.

Also, if anyone knows... I talked to a friend of mine, who said that ports 6881 AND 6999 need to be open, but not 6881 THROUGH 6999 because that might cause problems? Anyone know something about that?

Well, thanks anyway Baltazarz.

[idvhfd]

I came here looking for a solution to this problem...
Well, I found one that worked for me.
"EDIT 3: OK dammit... I THOUGHT it worked, since I thought "heck, I'll just put my realmlist to my external IP" since I couldn't test it with anyone... but others CAN'T join, they get a long connecting error, and after that it says 'login server down'. "
Try giving your friend your external IP, and tell him to make that his realmlist, like: set realmlist <externalip>
That worked for my friend.

[LilleCarl]

Your config seems proper. Next step would be to check if your ports are open (when the core is running use Open Port Check Tool and check port 8129 (your realmport)
