i managed to setup up the server correctly i think but i do not know how to actually connect the client to the server. I may just be missing something obvious but i cannot find it in the wiki

Check the trac wiki: http://trac.l2jserver.com/wiki/hosts

OK so i get the host file thing but what do i launch in the client. i know that other servers have an l2.exe in the bin folder of the client but my install doesn't have that. i would ask about how to get that but i think that might be against the rules considering that its client modding(i think). sorry for being such an epic n00b

just use the original game launcher, thats all.

Thanks that worked great. I am having a new problem though, i see my server but when i click on it it says that i am disconnected. i think that i saw it somewhere on here so i will search that. but thanks for all your guys' help.

Do you get an error like protocol version different, disconnecting? (Check the past few topics, maybe it's client/server compatibility, ie. you won't be able to connect to a Freya server with a H5 client etc.) This would be very likely.

Yeah i searched around and found that it was an issue in the client version. i uninstalled the high five version and installed freya. i heard that you should not update it and that you should run l2.bin using a cmd or bat file but that gives me a side-by-side configuration error. I did some research on the issues and found nothing. if anyone could help that would be great.


EDIT: i fixed the side by side error with the c++ distribution

Freya can't be updated, but H5 should be updated
