Remove/disable any firewall applications until you have a working server. You can install and configure them to allow access after your server is working.

Edit your realmd DB in SQL, select the realmlist table, and set the address to your external IP/name.

Configure you router (if applicable) to foward internet trafic (on ports 3306, 3724, and 8085) to your server IP.

Other players will need to change their realmlist.wtf to your external IP before they can connect.

so with that i dont need to change the mangos.conf or realmd.conf and they should start up as normal



if not thanks mate for this i just cant find this info anyware on the forum

I think you still have to put the DNS name in your conf files too. At least that's what I did and I've got both LAN and WAN working now. Good luck.

Then you're not looking in the right place.

You got it pawnyou.

The conf files really only provide setting information to the server daemons (realmd and mangosd), and tell them where to find their databases. The LoginDatabaseInfo and WorldDatabaseInfo entries in the conf files can remain as "127.0.0.1;3306;user;pass;database", as long as the database server runs on the same machine as the realmd and mangosd daemons.

The realmlist table contains the network address information that gets passed back to each client (so leaving these set to 127.0.0.1 tells each client to look for the server on that IP... which resolves to each client PC... so the connections fail).

For a Solo server: Edit your realmd DB in SQL, select the realmlist table, and set the address to 127.0.0.1 or localhost.
For a LAN server: Edit your realmd DB in SQL, select the realmlist table, and set the address to the servers LAN IP/name.
For a Internet server: Edit your realmd DB in SQL, select the realmlist table, and set the address to the servers external IP/name.

In all cases, players will need to change their realmlist.wtf to the desired server IP/name to connect.

I hope that helps. :thumb_yel
