Mangos problems

[minadude]

Hello!

Please help me cause I tried EVERYTHING I found on the search!

Ok here is the question in its simple form:

"How do I make my MaNGOS server available for my friends to connect to from their computer?"

now the details:

I know I have to assign my server in my database in realmd -> realmlist to point to my Internet IP...and not 127.0.0.1....

Then, I know I have to change the realmlist.wtf address to my Internet IP as well

then that's it...I'm stuck! cause I try connecting and it just says "Connecting..." and that's it...then it disconnects after a timeout...

Any ideas?

OH ALSO: I have a Dl-524 router...and I routed my Internet IP address to point to my LOCAL IP of the machine where I'm running my Mangos server...by also opening port 8085 TCP/UDP .....still nothing.....

Thank you in advance!!
