And here we go again.......got serious problems with connectiong to game server since chaning clients OS to Windows 7!
Got all set to funtion on login/game server and both running normal, ping to server via l2auth.lineage2.com is running fine and showing the right ip adress, Freya Client is up to date and running fine BUT i cant login to server.

Always getting message that password is incorrect though all is set to Autocreate accounts - ive checked ipconfig.xml lotsa times but all looks right to me - wan and lan ip are correct (checked both lotsa times)

Is it possible that there is somewhere a hidden mistake due to using Windows 7 on Client and server running on Windows XP?

EDIT: changed "latest" Version into more detailed info such as right Version number to make it more efficient for others to help me

Did you remake your host file?

ahem...what do you mean "remake"? I added the IPs as usual - is there any change now with windows 7?

127.0.0.1 localhost
(wan ip) l2auth.lineage2.com

If there is any change with host file that could explain my troubles so far....lol...hopefully you got a clue for me^^

naw no changes next step would be to to check your ports just to run down the basics

wich ones?
Ports on gameserver are all open....due to the fact that i was able to play on other free server i guess all ports on client are open too.

For me it looks like my Client is trying to connect to official L2 Servers but after checking with ping l2auth i can see that MY gameserver is answering and recieving data

Just to make sure everything is right here are my ipconfig and my host file:

________________________________________________________________________________
ipconfig.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!-- Externalhost here (Internet IP) or Localhost IP for local test -->
<gameserver address="wan ip" 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="lan ip" />
</gameserver>

no changes in server and login configs except password

ahem....no one who could check this? Im really going slightly mad cause i cant find the reason for the server not functioning

in hosts file, it should be (wan ip) l2authd.lineage2.com

rofl....no wonder that i was going slightly mad.....but now im stuck in the login - cant get to the login and it keeps on loading - any new idea?

EDIT: Its nothing with the firewall - its not working with or without activated firewall - i just checked it

No one with any idea or hint to help?

latest
wan ip
lan ip

ahem.....the way you answered leaves me only more confused than before.....does that mean that i posted wrong info?

L2J=5081
L2JDP=8545
WAN IP = in my case whatismyip.com
LANIP = in my case internal-IPadress

Thats what i guess was what ur going to tell me but IF NOT - please do me a favour and explain me in simple words what my mistake was ok?

damn it....its weekend and ive got an almost ready server next to me and i wanna configure and test it....no one with any suggestions or ideas?

please guys - ANY advise would help me!!!!!

check the guide, may be you are doing something wrong: http://trac.l2jserver.com/wiki/L2J_Install

I already checked it several times to make sure but i cant find any mistakes - im guessing that it may be something on my client.

Actual status:

Gameserver is running like it has to be (starts up normally and with correct screens on start), same goes for the Login Server - all looks normal to me.
Ive checked the ipconfig several times again (like i showed in the previous posting with the correct extermal IP adress) and the Gameserver sends and recieves data packages when being pinged. NO changes (except password) were made in the configs on either gameserver and loginserver.
Client PC is up to date with the latest Freya Client and ports are open on the Game/Loginserver.

I suggest that it could be something with the WIndows 7 system - is there ANYTHING i have to change when im using WIndows 7? Ive done several servers and used them with a client running on XP - problems appeared first time after changing system on client to Windows 7. I already configured the Host with admin rights and ive got no more ideas what the problem could be.
Only purpose for running this server is to use it on local network with 1 Server PC (Win XP) and 1 Client PC (Win 7 Ultimate).

I would be so thankful if anyone could help me with this.

i surrender....ive tried all known (to me) configurations and re-installed server and client 4 times now and tried everything but with no results.

without getting any further info about possible configurations on a Windows 7 client pv im not able to establish a server on my own
