Wah , i am getting so confused. I have this problem for more then two days and i am reading guides over guides, used google many times, read , read, try, read, try but nothing helped.
Internet -> Router -> MangosServer
\> GamingComp
So first my history...
I install MangosServer and all other things needed correctly. Server worked. Ok my target is that i using lan and others coming via internet can connect to my server.
First problem i have, i cant connect my self over lan. I changed some things in hosts file (in drivers/etc-folder) and another try also the lmhosts.sam (found something with google) and hopefully i am i can connect via Dyndns to my server. So i told someone to connect from outside over the net but he cant. He got the realmlistloop.
So because of that i tried different configurations over two days with the result, that a) i cant find a solution and b) i also cant connect and i forgot the proper working solution for myself.
Router:
There i changed only portforwarding. I think the router isnt the problem. I forward all needed ports to my server
Dyndns:
I created an account at dyndns.org and no-ip. No difference between them, so i dont think there is the problem.
My realmdb->realmlist says xyz.dyndns.org
Me(LAN) and all others(Internet) have following realmlist.wtf: set realmlist xyz.dyndns.org
hosts-file of server AND GamingComp are configured as the following:
Code:
127.0.0.1        localhost
192.168.178.29 schlingendorntal.dyndns.org
xx.xx.178.29 is the lan ip from my server
xx.xx.178.20 is the lan ip from my GamingComp
lmhosts.sam has no entrys on both computers

At last, i do not see the fault in my configuration. Also i know, but forget how i did it that i could connect and play with GamingComp but outside connections get realmlist loop. With posted configuration above all (me and outside) cant connect to the realmlist server.
Please help me
 
just try setting your realmlist to 192.168.178.29 and see if you can connect like that first...

If i use lan ip instead of dyndns in realmd->realmlist, i can connect with my other lan computer while using dyndns or internal lan ip in realmlist.wtf

Only changing realmlist.wtf into lanip and not changing realmd->realmlist wont work.

Thank you for finding my first configuration. I toally forgot it. But i want to add that howerever i did get it work for my comp with dyndns but doesnt matter.

I think but i am not sure other players get a realmloopif they try to connect from outside (have no test person at this moment). But if that is true, what i have to do now?

I make an attachement where you see my router portforwarding

Open your ports? Yes, No? I know you said you have ports open for the game server but not all ppl put in the port for the game server. via: xyz.dyndns.org:3636 or what ever it is.
To render that problem open up 1024 to 65535 in your router.
Doing so might open you up for attacks. But, Doing so also eliminates the port problem for gamers.
Also take in mind when a person doesn't put in the port for the game server, it doesn't always go to that game server port.
Thus the realmlist looping issue. So, by doing the 1024 to 65535eliminates it.
 
I test some things, pls read carefully to see the little differences:

realmd=external ip
hosts(server)=127.0.0.1 (external ip)
realmlist.wtf contains external ip OR! xyz.dyndns.org
=> All fine, you can connect from lan or outside

realmd=xyz.dyndns.org
hosts(server)=127.0.0.1 xyz.dyndns.org
realmlist.wtf contains xyz.dyndns.org
=>You cant connect from lan or outside because you get something like "Realmlist server is not avaible"

realmd=xyz.dyndns.org
hosts(server)=127.0.0.1 xyz.dyndns.org
192.168.178.29 xyz.dyndns.org
realmlist.wtf contains xyz.dyndns.org
=>You cant connect from lan or outside because you get something like "Realmlist server is not avaible"

realmd=xyz.dyndns.org
hosts(server)=127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.178.29 xyz.dyndns.org
realmlist.wtf contains xyz.dyndns.org
=>You cant connect from lan or outside because you get something like "Realmlist server is not avaible"


So that what i understand from my tests, there is no port problem i think
