I followed the instructions in the /doc, and I'm still with no luck.
I'm running Win 7 64bit, closed my firewalls, opened ports in my router. I ran ( cports ), and they are open. I allowed all rules in the firewall setting in Win 7 just in case.
Ports that are open:
8085 TCP and UDP
3724 TCP and UDP
80 TCP and UDP
The only thing I changed as indicated in the /doc instructions is the:
- address in realmd db from 127.0.0.0 to blackrock.no-ip.info
- added these in the etc/hosts
<external IP> blackrock.no-ip.info
<Computer IP> blackrock.no-ip.info
I did not touch any settings in the following files that shows 127.0.0.1 because if I do, when I start Amber GUI, it just shuts down and says it cant connect to db.
Amber.ini
scriptdev2
realmd
mangosd
Have I missed something?
Update: From outside my network, I'm able to ping blackrock.no-ip.info.
What is standing in:
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts open it with a text editor
You see::
Code:
# 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:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
# 127.0.0.1 localhost
# ::1 localhost
Now edit it to:
