Friend can't connect to my server, everything seemingly in order

[drazy]

The repack I'm using is http://www.mmowned.com/forums/world-...ml#post1900863


I'm by no means an expert, but as far as I know, I've done everything that is needed to get my server online:

1. Edited the realmd realmlist to point to my external IP with Navicat
2. Got a DynDNS hostname, had my friend (who can connect to official servers just fine, so it's not his firewall/settings) edit his realmlist.wtf accordingly
3. All relevant ports are open according to PFPortChecker

The server works fine for me - I can even use the DynDNS hostname on my realmlist.wtf to log in, but my friend inevitably gets stuck in "can't connect". Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, since I'm pretty much stumped.

what emulator

[brydon10]

try using a different port in the config file then get your friend to set his realmlist to "set realmlist yourdns.com:8129" change the 8129 in the realmlist to w/e you changed the port to

or just open all ports

nickelo: Trinity, the ultracore repack? Or can you get more specific than that, I wouldn't know...

Regarding the ports; yeah I guess I could try switching it, but as I don't have a router and the modem I'm using shouldn't have one built-in either, that should mean that ports are a non-issue. All the applications in the emu are on my fw exception list and we did try with the firewall completely disabled as well, but no dice.

Edit: Adding the port to realmlist.wtf did the trick - no idea why tho, of all the private servers I've tried I never had to do this myself in order to get connected. Go figure.

Hey drazy! I seem to be having the exact same problem that you were, but after reading your solution, there wasnt quite enough detail for me to know exactly what port to change, aand where.. if you would be able to supply this information I would be VERY grateful I seem to have everything up and running, and I have done this once before successfully but am now trying again to get it setup. The website registration works, and the server, but my friends almost logs in, and right at before it does, it cancels. Thanks !
