Ok, first off this is not the first time i have messed around with L2J server, second off i am not a idiot. I am having a problem i cannot for the life of me seem to fix.
The server installs and runs fine with a localhost connection, however even with the configuration changed to reflect my external ip the farthest i can get is the server selection screen. It does not matter if i try to connect from another pc in my local network or from a pc located elsewhere.
My server is the only one in the list and when i select it and click confirm nothing happens.
Any suggestions?

Re: Cannot get past server select
The first step in getting it to work is to acknowledge that the server configuration is NOT fine, even though you think it's fine. If it was fine, it would work already.xixith wrote:If you want to receive support we need this info to help you properly.

Double check your server config for both loginserver and gameserver, verify that the same internal/external IP address is used in both places. Verify that you had the appropriate ports opened, ie 7777 for gameserver since you are able to get past the loginserver. Next, verify that your HOSTS file points to the correct IP address, whether it be an internal IP or an external IP address.
If the configuration files settings are correct, I had never seen where a player/administrator can not hit the loginserver or the gameserver. A majority of the time, when someone can not hit their loginserver or gameserver, it's usually user error in the configuration process.

Re: Cannot get past server select
Ok, i guess i need to be a bit clearer. Yes my server config does work, i can connect just fine on the same machine that the server is running on. Works perfect!
When i try and connect from any other machine than the one the server is running on i get stuck on the server select screen. Be it my internal network or be it the internet via my registered and properly delegated domain name.

Re: Cannot get past server select
Post your server config files. There are a few factors that will prevent external connection to the gameserver whether it be from an internal LAN or external WAN client(s), ie: incorrect server configuration, firewall ports blocked for gameserver, incorrect HOSTS file configuration, etc etc.
But if you want help, please post your config files so at least I or another person with MORE advance networking background can try to help you. It's not that I doubt your networking knowledge or ability to configure the L2J server. I simply want to see the config files myself unless you don't really need the help.

Re: Cannot get past server select
Mighty brave to put the hosting PC on the DMZ. I would recommend you use port forwarding instead and place that PC back behind the firewall.Behind a DSL modem, with DMZ active on the server in question.
Your computer may be having issue resolving 127.0.0.1 and * for Internalhostname.
Try using the internal IP address assigned to the hosting PC as the Internalhostname. Then in your host file for the client machine, make sure you have the following lines added:
192.168.1.99 L2Authd.lineage2.com (The 192 address is hypothetical...use what is assigned to your PC)
216.107.250.194 nprotect.lineage2.com
If all fails, then need to try clean core and dp again.
See if this helps.

Yep, set as you suggested already. Oh and all ports reply with a solid ping from an external source.

Re: Cannot get past server select
If you have that PC on a different subnet, it may be why you can not get to it if your internal router does not route properly to that subnet. Check that out first.xixith wrote:Bah, its a spare pc anyhow, i am not worried about it being attacked. It is on a completely separate subnet.

well call me a monkeys uncle, naming the internal/external ip as the same did the trick, i swear i tried that before! TYTYTYT
