i managed to get the server to work, but now i have another problem. my friends (who are trying to connect from a external location) can login, however, they cannot get past the server selection screen. no matter how many times they select the active bartz server nothing happens. any ideas why?

i forwarded all the following ports
9014, 2106, 7777, 3306, 2016, 7779

my ipconfig

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!-- Externalhost here (Internet IP) or Localhost IP for local test --><gameserver address="MY EXTERNAL IP IS 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="192.168.0.105" /></gameserver>

i copied my l2 client installation to a external hard drive and gave it to my friend. so he basically has exactly the same client. (and everything works fine for me)

the host file info that my friends are using:
MY_EXTERNAL_IP l2authd.lineage2.com


hope some1 can help me , i already searched through the forums.

btw i am using xampp on a windows server 2003.

MY_EXTERNAL_IP l2authd.lineage2.com
read here http://trac.l2jserver.com/wiki/hosts
domain.net l2authd.lineage2.com
123.123.123.123 l2authd.lineage2.com

and try portscan

thank you for replying.

i tried the portscan and the ports 2106 and 7777 are definitely open.

i am also using this format in my host file:

123.123.123.123 l2authd.lineage2.com

i did replace 123.123.123.123 with my external ip ofcourse.

when i ping l2authd.lineage2.com from a external pc i get a timeout, however the ip it shows when pinging is correct.

do i have to edit the host file on the server? or is it only for the client?

Don't worry, it is not problem. My router not answer ping from wan.

Make exceptions in your firewall too. Not just modem.
