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

totally agree, the problem started with professionals who made easy to open a server, specially interlude has been abused unstoppably since you can open a server with few clicks now days making fewer players for many servers, while back in time when "compile" was a secret and opening a server was going max players but true things are changing and this has become a job but dont lie everyone knows what is going on, lying is showing desperation, better go and work. i've worked with lots of people with kids that invest huge amounts of money into this and fail while they needed the money its an addiction.
well,we all know that everyone is doing it for money. And it's acceptable since you put much more effort than the usual admins.
If you're proffesional on l2 servers,i don't find a reason to not see it as a job.
Ofc it's job,but all jobs has their own prides.
I'll talk about me,i'm a guy that working 10 +/- hours per day. I have 2-3 free hours on my daily activity and sometimes i enjoy playing Lineage because nostalgia hits me everyday. If you are many years on scene,u'll understand that lineage will never be the same like old days. Days that we was gathering at internet cafes,and the battle was daily. Anyway, some people perfer to pay big clans and provide them black market with special prices and benefits that a casual player wont have. Also big clans means big wars,so server will have population even if you have zero quality. And there is some projects that wont pay those d1ckheads,so they wont join them and project need to find other ways to increase the population.
So,i'm a player that i'll donate 20-40-50 euros on every server i play,and usually i'm getting "scammed" since they re-open their server every 2 months. And the problem is that,i personally don't mind to donate few money every 2 months for my joy,but the majority of owners has zero knowledge about L2 gaming. That's why they can't fix a sh1t,and when the problems pile up,they slowly close the server and starting advertising for another one. Actually,on high rate scene mostly,is the same guy that doing it everytime. He opens his project for 1-2 months,he close it and before he shut down the server,he has already started the advertising on his next server with different name. It's just crazy and that part shouldn't be acceptable.
So yes,i perfer to support a project with honest admin team,and somewhere they have the knowledge to implent things.
Business is business,but at least as community,we should enjoy our game that we love,
cheers.
