    Outside connection to Mangos not working

    Hello all, I set up a mangos server, was fairly easy. All computers on my lan can use the server, i use a wireless router to connect WAN to LAN. Dlink gamerlounge or some such.
    My problem is that when outside people try to connect it does no good.
    My router has ips that are assigned to us all behind the router. The wan to router ip is 68******, but my ip is 19******. Other people on the network can use this even if they set their realmlist to the 68 wan number, and so can i. but others cant? Suggestions? i even tried setting this computer to a DMZ.

    :edit:
    Also, my router logs show ICMP pakets being blocked from being sent from me.. is that important?

    The other people CAN see the server, but they get stuck after the log in. i says "Loading" and never finishes.

    There is multiple posts / threads on this subject I would suggest looking for more detail in the threads for this.
    But to give you a place to start.
    The realmd db has to have the external IP in it. (the wan ip) for teh realm to be accessible from the outside.
    you have to forward the ports in the DLINK for web, sql and game world server. That or turn on the DMZ option in the DLINK to allow full access to the 192.168.*.* that the game server is on.
    Turn off the Firewall, allow or forward the icmp redirection even though it is a normal feature and function to block ICMP request it can degrade the performance of the connection.
    Check the Forums for a more detailed Resolution to this.
