[Help] others can't connect

[LauQ]

Hi,

 

I use L2jarchid rev 1292. I put my WAN IP (from www.whatismyip.com) on the ExternalIP of my network.properties from gameserver, and the loginserver.properties, and I put my PC network IP on the External, the others I leave default '*' (bind to all). (I have also tried with 127.0.0.1)

 

 

I have opened the ports:

1) PFports says the ports are open

2) When the servers are up, the server status (from blackoutgaming, on the WAN IP with the ports 7777 and 2106) says server is up

 

 

Other info:

- I also put Windows Firewall exceptions on the ports

- I use Windows 7 (just for testing purposes)

- I can get into login and gameserver.

- I have a modem, and my PC is connected to the router which is connected to my modem, and from both the modem and the router I have the correct ports opened by following guides from postforward.com

 

 

Problem: others can only login (so connect to the loginserver), and see gameserver up, but can't connect.

 

 

What is causing the problem? and how to fix it?

 

 

 

 

Thanks in advance

 

- LauQ

 

 

PS: please read it all, I don't like having replies of suggestions I have already tried

Have you edited the l2ini and save it on 413 version?

Have you edited the l2ini and save it on 413 version?

Yes, and I have tried both the l2.ini way and the hosts file way

 

We did have some issues with gameguard, which got fixed by some hacked core.dll, cause strangely enough Wildcard didn't work. Perhaps the problem is still with that somehow...?

[skrzypek]

Can u uplad configs? Will be easier i dont know this distro.

[Versus]

Upload the configs and i'll fix them for you.

The 82.xxx.xxx.xxx is my WAN ip

and the 192.168.x.x is my PC's network IP, but I also tried replacing those with 127.0.0.1

Im behind router too and im using no-ip atm. Looks at my config, everything works fine.

 

gameserver:

ExternalHostname = http://www.whatismyip.com
InternalHostname = http://www.whatismyip.com


LoginHost = 192.168.x.x
LoginPort = 9014

GameserverHostname = 192.168.x.x
GameserverPort = 7777

 

loginserver:

ExternalHostname = http://www.whatismyip.com
InternalHostname = http://www.whatismyip.com


LoginserverHostname = 192.168.x.x
LoginserverPort = 2106

LoginHostname = 192.168.x.x
LoginPort = 9014

 

When i put like u "*" or "127.0.0.1" in LoginHostname and GameserverHostname i couldnt conect to gs.

 

I have also unlocked port "9014" (UTP&UDP).

[LauQ]

Thanks skrzypek, this is the only setting that has worked so far, although it somehow seems to make no sense at all xD

 

is it possible that this setting is somehow less secure?

 

Anyway, thanks all for helping :)

I use Archid too, so I know it's working, as ppl can connect from Belgium (I'm in France).

 

About ports, they must be opened on UDP, not TCP : 7777, 9014 and 2106. You can see it on the "network.properties" file.

 

External : WAN IP.

Internal : 127.0.0.1 if no one from your LAN play on your server from another PC than the server.

 

----

 

About "ppl blocked on LS", it can be too the revision protocol of clients which are different from the server accpeted ones. But as you're client modder, and error is easy to see on GS logs, I think you didn't forget this part :P.

 

About the GG, normally if you haven't GG error, you can consider your cracked dll is working fine. Personnally I use "GameGuard Emulator For Ragezoner", clients have nothing to do like that.

[skrzypek]

I just check this u can do somethig like this in loginserver and gameserver:

 

InternalHostname = 192.168.x.x

 

With this mine server works well too.

 

 

Heres why u should unlock 9014 port.

Like u can see on photo gameserver is connecting at 9014 port and loginserver at 2106. So if u dont have unlocked port 9014, ppls from outside cant login into game.
