Problems Hosting?

[momasboy]

Hello ownedcore

I've been trying to start my own private server for about a week now, I can't seem to figure out how to host correctly.

Here is my ports I have forwarded in my routers IP adress.


So after that I made my DYN "blizzwow.kicks-ass.net"


I added my DYN and my ip's to my host.

# Copyright (c) 1993-2009 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
#      ***.**.**.**     rhino.acme.com          # source server
#      **.**.**.**     x.acme.com              # x client host


# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
#    127.0.0.1       localhost
#    ::1             localhost
***.***.*.***    blizzwow.kicks-ass.net
***.***.*.*    blizzwow.kicks-ass.net
***.*.***.**    blizzwow.kicks-ass.net

Here i've added my INTERNAL IP, My ROUTER IP, and my EXTERNAL with blizzwow.kicks-ass.net following it.
So when i type in blizzwow.kicks-ass.net it should take my to my website, but instead it does this.


now when i type 127.0.0.1 it takes me to my website with no problem.

also, with my ports being open, my friends should be able to connect to me with the realmlist or the website blizzwow.kicks-ass.net, but they cannot. HELP!!!

I cant remember with mangos as i havent used it in awhile but in your Database in the auth Database is there a Realmlist table and if so change the ip to blizzwow.kicks-ass.net

I don't know why you censored your internal IP. It means nothing. It's given to you by your router to identify you from other computers in the LAN.

Make sure you port forwarded to your INTERNAL IP (normally starts 192.16 and NOT your external IP.

Better safe than sorry!
