[Antrix] Variation of the Realm Loop (A little different)

[QTank]

My problem relates to the Realm Loop issue I've seen many posts about, but just a slightly different.

In my realm.conf if I set my external ip / DNS at the bottom to localhost, I can connect to my server without any problems, but my friend cannot get past the realm selection screen.

Now, if I set the external ip / DNS at the bottom to my actual IP address my friend can connect to the server, but then I can't get past the realm selection screen.

We were playing together earlier, but when I brought the server down to add an item, this is when the issue began. Even deleting the item had no effect, which I pretty much guessed it wouldn't...

So, what do I do now so that we both may play at the same time again?

You could make 2 realm's one with 127.0.0.1 for u and one with your real IP for your friends.

<Realm1 Name = "server name"
        Address = "your external ip:8129"
        Icon = "PVP"
        Colour = "1"
        Population = "1.0"
        TimeZone = "1">

<Realm2 Name = "server name"
        Address = "localhost:8129"
        Icon = "PVP"
        Colour = "1"
        Population = "1.0"
        TimeZone = "1">
