Hi there im having some trouble modifying the hosts file. First off my ipconfig file looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>


-<gameserver xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="ipconfig.xsd" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" address="209.189.245.111">

<define address="127.0.0.1" subnet="127.0.0.0/8"/>

<define address="10.0.0.0" subnet="10.0.0.0/8"/> <define address="172.16.0.0" subnet="172.16.0.0/19"/> <define address="192.168.1.5" subnet="192.168.0.0/16"/> </gameserver>

Now its set up with my current outgoing ip on my router. Does that look correct to yall? The 209.189.245.111 is my IP.

So im running the server on my computer and im trying to connect to it on the same computer and i put this in my hosts file:
127.0.0.1 L2authd.lineage2.com
127.0.0.1 localhost

Now with that i was able to connect to my server, but my question is what do people need to put in their hosts files so they can connect to it too from a different computer. Can anyone help?

as you can read in the same config...

"Externalhost here (Internet IP)..."

so you need that, to allow other people play in your server

So would the proper format for other people to connect be:

209.189.245.111 L2authd.lineage2.com
127.0.0.1 localhost

Because if so i have tried that and it hasnt worked so i must have another problem.

yes, but you need to have login and server ports open too.

Im pretty sure i have those open, i went to portforward.com and open the ports they told me to for L2J, is there anything else i need to do and if so can you run me through it?

Currently i have the 80,2106, and 7777 port forwarded on my router.

EDIT: Ok i went to portforward.com to make sure i had those ports forwarded and confirmed that i did. However i downloaded their port checker tool and checked if those ports were open with it and none of them were. What did i do wrong?

why you have it like:

Code: Select all

<gameserver xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="ipconfig.xsd" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" address="209.189.245.111">

instead of:

Code: Select all

<gameserver address="209.189.245.111" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="ipconfig.xsd">

I dont know, i havent altered that file much. Thats the format it was given in. But that still doesnt address the issue. I changed it to that but i still cant connect. Im pretty sure it has to do with my ports because the port checker said they werent open but my router and firewall say they are.

Viper · Post by **Viper** » Mon Oct 17, 2011 9:36 pm

Can no one help me?

Viper · Post by **Viper** » Mon Oct 17, 2011 11:33 pm

Alright ive checked with a friend and my ports are open and they can ping my router and the hosts file is correct but they still cant connect to my server. Everything seems to have been set up correctly and we cant figure out whats wrong. Can any1 point out what ive missed?

Post by **MELERIX** » Tue Oct 18, 2011 12:47 am

and that is your right internet ip ?

is your friend using a clean and updated l2 client ?

Yes it is. And yes she just fully redownloaded and updated. Im starting to think it has something to do with my internet provider. Any suggestions?

Many ISPs have a firewall blocking those ports. Try calling your ISP or read their FAQ , it should be in there.
My ISP HAS a firewall like that.They also have a webpage which i connect with my account , go to setting and disable their firewall. Maybe thats your problem
