4.5 -- JDK 1.7.0_45 MYSQL 5.7 - Localhost works but not LAN/WAN

I use the exact same client on all machines, local with server, nearby machine, and one connected to an
outside network. Ports are opened up and confirmed with telnet.

Client: 4.5.14
1. Game works great when using aion.bat using IP: 127.0.0.1 local to the server.
2. Game does not get passed server screen (if new account) or do anything after agreement screen (if existing) when IP: 192.168.1.45 (assigned STATIC ip for server) or using an OUTSIDE IP.
3. I ensured remote access was allowed for MYSQL on my Aion sql account
4. I changed ipconfig default to 192.168.1.45 and even the outside IP, but had no effect; put it back.
5. The current d3d8thk.dll size is 120kb.
6. Windows Firewall is completely turned off on server and clients.

Any idea about what needs changing in the .properties files would be great. Is it possible I could use hostnames in this ordeal, and instill host records, so aion.domain.com would resolve 127.0.0.1 internally, but would be noticed outside as the external IP I need?

this may help

(If you're using your home PC, you may need to open ports through your router. However, if you're trying to connect to another machine on your network, bind the gameserver to that machine's IP (i.e 192.168.0.10))

Look in this Thread:

yeah I followed ur post falke34 as a last resort before this thread :) and caustik ill look into that if needbe once I get internal network computers working on it...

I got it to work. I had to edit the ipconfig.xml's IP ranges after the default entry in order for logons outside to be accepted.
