not your average "ID is 0. Is this server connected to MiniLogin" error

[Rocker8956]

Going to guess that your issue is here (marked in red)

<?xml version="1.0">
<server>
<world>
<shortname>xxxxxxxxxxxxx</shortname>
<longname>xxxxxxxxxxxxxx</longname>

<!-- Only specify these two if you really think you need to. -->
<address>(DynDnsAccount.com)</address>
<localaddress>192.168.1.210</localaddress>

[LoginServer]
loginserver=(DynDnsAccount.com)
loginserver2=192.168.1.210

I am at work atm so I can not look to see what those values should be but I know you rarely want to change the top one.

Actually, going on what Rocker said... try switching Loginserver and Loginserver2. If you're connecting the the dyndns IP it's possible that your computer is going through the router to establish the connection rather than through your LAN.

Ok I will try swapping them, I followed some walk through that stated to do it that way to get people in from the outside. But we will see what happens if I switch the order maybe so it tries the local ip first.

Good job Rocker, it was that initial address the one where I put my dyndns account, that was causing me to go outside the network then back in, but now once I change that, is my server still accessible from the net?

[Rocker8956]

Honestly I don't know. Best bet is to have one of your friends try it. I have a minilogin test server setup with hamachi so a few of my friends can test code changes for me but I don't recommend that method. It was a pain in the butt to setup, at least for me. The easiest way to setup a server accessible outside your LAN is to configure a public server then lock it so only you and your friends can log into it.

(Edit)

Thought I should add, I tried the DynDns method and got it working except for two of my friends logging into my server from their house. They were using the same external IP address so they would login with the same account. Having two people logged in at once on the same account can cause some very strange bugs.
