i disable scopes, in your case that would be xxx.xxx.xxx.1-xxx.xxx.xxx.164 and xxx.xxx.xxx.166-xxx.xxx.xxx.255 in my case there was 2 ip that was needet to leave open, as i understand 1 was realm ip and other was some char server coz if i disable 1 more ip then i get error "cant get char list" or something similar. Or it maybe that overpopulated realms have more than 1 ip.
Finally got it to work, apperantly my only issue was with icecrown is is partly hosted on my server and is where I tried it all the time. Got Aeonaxx tho.
A little tip, you can do this on diff characters at the same time, meaning get into bg in 1 zone on one, alt+f4 log in and do the same on another while the first char 5 minutes timer is ticking.
OK, so I understand a bit more now.. but I still can't get it to work.. Can anyone explain what I'm doing wrong here?
So I checked the ip in stormwind.. it was aaa.bbb.243.ddd and and another with the same number, just different ddd...
Then I checked the ip in Deepholm.. it was aaa.bbb.242.ddd and another with aaa.bbb.243.ddd.. Both of these were established..
Then I went into my firewall, and put in a block from the range aaa.bbb.242.10 - aaa.bbb.242.255 because this is the cross realm zone ip.. 243 was the STORMWIND IP.
Then I joined a bg, alt f4'ed out.. enabled the settings above and waited 6 minutes and logged back in.. I checked netstat again, and I still have an established connection to the 242, and can see people from other servers.
What am I doing wrong? Can anyone send me a pm with skype or whatever so we can get this to work? unless I'm obviously doing something wrong, and you can explain it here..
EPIC! i got Aeonaxx and TLPD and a bunch of rare hunter pets with this + rep to you
Ok so ill give example with ip addresses not letters. I do it like that, start wow, login to you account, get char list, minimize wow, start->run->cmd hit enter. In command promt execute command netstat -n | find ":3724"
will get output similar to
TCP 192.168.1.217:41630 193.3.165.70:3724 TIME_WAIT
TCP 192.168.1.217:34180 193.3.165.71:3724 ESTABLISHED
now choose char and go to zone you want and again, dont stop when you get message on screen that you in different zone, fly deeper in that zone until you see glowing animation on you char, that mean that you changed crz zone.
execute command netstat -n | find ":3724"
now you output will look similar to
TCP 192.168.1.217:41630 193.3.165.70:3724 ESTABLISHED
TCP 192.168.1.217:36133 193.3.165.54:3724 ESTABLISHED
bold ip is zone ip
Now make inbound and outbound fw rules to block scopes from 193.3.165.1 to 193.3.165.69 and another from 193.3.165.72 to 193.3.165.255
In my case server is overpopulated so imo there is some loadbalancing and some times i get connection to 193.3.165.70 sometimes to 193.3.165.71, so i exclude thous 2 ip addresses. As i mentioned before, one time i got same zone from different subnet 193.3.166.39 so everytime when you go to some zone and queue, check your zone ip and if needed add another scope to your fw rules. So i made another rule with full range of ips to block 193.3.166.1-193.3.166.255.
Now, join bg, alt-f4, enable rules, 5min later connect to game select your char, if after loading screen you get something about char is missing or something like that and you will be dropped to char list, try again to login to that char, had few times when got in after 3-4 attempts. If all done correct you will see reports that cant be ported to instance server, and if you use command /who you still get list of ppl from your server who are in that zone.
p.s. sorry for bad english, english is not my native language.
i keep getting onto the same server-realm-zone.
How do i "change" the server it puts me into? (It's not my own server)
Ok let me use some numbers in my example hopefully it will help myself and others. When I’m in Org my IP address is 206.18.98.243.
Then I move to Dalaran and I get the following IP’s
Then I move to Storm Peaks and I get the following IP’s
At this point I join a BG, Alt+f4, activate my in/outbound rules, and wait 5 minutes. My rules look like this:
inbound
. Outbound
After waiting about 7 minutes, I log in. For about 3 seconds it looks like I’m by myself, then players from other realms phase in. I check my IP’s and this is what I have:
Even though these IP’s fall within my blocked range, they are still getting through. Could my firewall permissions to allow WoW access be overriding my rules? Any one have a suggestion for a different program to use to block IPs??
maybe firewall on that interface is disabled ?
Rules are applied to all interface types and all 3 profiles (domain/private/public) are selected.
