problem with host file

[msknight]

What versions of the data and server are you using? Check for these in the first few lines of the stdio/log in the gameserver/log

[adistaktos]

where i can find these ???

[msknight]

in the gameserver/log folder, you are looking for a file called stdio.log ... it contains the messages that the gameserver is making. In the first few lines it will give the server and datapack revision numbers.

i haven't these files in my log folder

[msknight]

i haven't these files in my log folder

... then it is likely that your gameserver is not running.

Use the command "ps -a" and see if the loginserver and the gameserver are listed there.

i did everything right but now i don't know what to put in host file so i can play with my friends on internet. I open the ports and i put the right ip's in the loginserver and in the gameserver file (external ip's , internal ip's) . i saw from others servers that they put :
127.0.0.1 localhost
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx l2testauthd.lineage2.com #......
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx l2authd.lineage2.com #.....
and i did that with my external ip but i doesn't work . it tell's me wrong account (i have autocreate account) and if i put :
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 l2testauthd.lineage2.com
127.0.0.1 l2authd.lineage2.com
it works properly but i can't play in my server on internet. Pls some help here (Sorry for my english i hope u will understand it !!! )

Are you using a router?
Yes -> Did you forward the needed ports? -> Use the Lan IP in YOUR host file and the Internal address in the config files.
No -> Use the 127.0.0.1 in YOUR host file and the Internal address in the config files.

Your players who are out on the internet use your 87.203.blah.blah address in their host to connect to you.

You can not use the internet address to play the game when you host the server.

[adistaktos]

i did that and only lan pc's can play in the server.

Then its a router or firewall problem.

[adistaktos]

in my router i have close all the requiered ports and i had closed my firewall protection.

Are you using a router?
Yes -> Did you forward the needed ports?

[adistaktos]

yes i have a dsl router and i open all the ports that i need (like in portforward.com).

[adistaktos]

I think that we misunderstoud my problem i said that i can play to my server when i put in my host file this

192.xxx.x.x l2authd.lineage2.com
192.xxx.x.x l2testauthd.lineage2.com

but i can't play in it when i put this

87.xxx.xx.xx l2authd.lineage2.com
87.xxx.xx.xx l2testauthd.lineage2.com

You can not use the internet address to play the game when you host the server.

I'm not misunderstood. Your just not reading what is written.

Let me try explain another way.

You are hosting the server locally, so you must use a local address to connect to it.
And everyone else but LAN users use the internet address.

so what can i do i will put in my host my lan ip.... in server.properties i will put in external =my wan ip and in internal = lan ip and in login server =lan ip ???
