I just finished creating the server, but I have no idea how to connect to it.
I've heard something about the Hosts file, however I have to ask if I have to edit something in it, or was it updated automatically when the server was created?
I'm sorry I'm fairly new to this, and I'm not quite ace at computers, but I found the motivation to make a L2 server, so I said I'd take a shot at it.
How can one connect to his server?

C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc
file hosts (without extension)
open it with a text editor and add a line like this:
Also, if you set TestServer = False to True in General.properties, the line in hosts file changes to:
file hosts (without extension)
open it with a text editor and add a line like this:
Ofc, if you want to connect from outside, you change the IP to your WAN IP (whatismyip.com), but for that you might need to forward ports 2106/7777 in your router/firewall, if you have it. If you connect from another PC in your internal network (LAN), then the IP is your LAN IP (start>run>cmd>ipconfig>IP Address)127.0.0.1 l2authd.lineage2.com
Also, if you set TestServer = False to True in General.properties, the line in hosts file changes to:
127.0.0.1 l2testauthd.lineage2.com
If you have problems, FIRST TRY SOLVING THEM YOURSELF, and if you get errors, TRY TO ANALYZE THEM, and ONLY if you can't help it, THEN ask here.

they use your WAN IP and you use your LAN.
