Hi L2J Community. I've recently decided to start a server on my home comp to play with a bunch of friends. So I've downloaded the latest Freya l2j revision , installed it without any problem and launched. Now I can connect to my server on my own pc without complications. The thing is how do I let others connect to my server from other pc's and networks? I've been searching around the forums but I can't really find a threat that may lead to a proper solution. Previously I had an Interlude server that worked without any problems. Anyone could connect and play. Now I can't figure out the trick with the new ipconfig.xml thingy.

Thanks in advance!

Shouldn't be so hard to read guides.

Thanks but no thanks. Read up better next time. My problem is players connecting from outside as from inside everything works.

Now I can't figure out the trick with the new ipconfig.xml thingy.

http://www.l2jserver.com/wiki/Setup_Server is verrrrrrrrry old.

Edit your ipconfig.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!-- Externalhost here (Internet IP) or Localhost IP for local test -->
<gameserver address="edit here" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="ipconfig.xsd">
<!-- Localhost here -->
<define subnet="127.0.0.0/8" address="127.0.0.1" />
<!-- Internalhosts here (LANs IPs) -->
<define subnet="10.0.0.0/8" address="10.0.0.0" />
<define subnet="172.16.0.0/19" address="172.16.0.0" />
<define subnet="192.168.0.0/16" address="edit here" />
</gameserver>

Hi i am having the same or very similar issue as above. I edited the ipconfig.xml with my real ip address so people can log in, yet when I go to actually run the server, the login server connects, but the game server keeps saying,

Connecting to login on *:9014

Is this because the server.properties file needs the actual ip as well? If so, what's the purpose of the ipconfig.xml file?

Thanks

Edit: so far it seems that I have answered my own question except the part about the purpose for the ipconfig.xml

The server is now running, but if someone would like to explain the purpose of that file it would be great

[jurchiks]

The purpose of that file is to have centralized settings for all IPs/subnets. Previously you could not add different subnets if you had any.
