If you are running a DSL modem that has a built-in router and also a DLink router on top of that, you have to be sure you are Port Range Forwarding properly. Basically, your DSL modem/router should either have your EQEmu ports all forwarded to your DLink router, or you should set your DLink routers as a DMZ in your DSL modem/router config. THEN, you need to forward the ports from your DLink router to your server.

It has to have a path straight through both devices. Using 2 routers chain linked together like that, you just have to be sure you have the path of the ports set properly as described in the last paragraph. The easiest way to start trying to get it configured properly would probably be to set your Dlink as the DMZ in your DSL modem/router config, and then set your server as a DMZ in your DLink router config. If that doesn't work, then something else is wrong, but it should work if you do it correctly. Then, once you know it is working, you can start setting specific ports instead of keeping it as a DMZ setup, because having all ports open like that is a security risk if you leave them like that too long.

Well I have a Cable TV Modem that has the direct connection from my wall port, and I can set my server pc up with a direct internet connection PPPOE type and the server works fine anyone can connect so I will show my router settings.

actually you should be using filters or firewalls (think its firewall), I can't remember which. It will let you specify the external address it can come from (you put *) and then the internal address it goes to (your computer with eqemu).

This page (Applications) isn't for port forwarding.

If you look here in my firewall setting I have it set for ports should i disable the application aspect of the router port forwarding for the 9000 and 9080 ports?

You need to disable DMZ to first stop exposing your computer from the Internet.

Get rid of the filters, and the other world settings up in virtual server.

Then you want to use the Firewall tab with the following:

Source (drop down) WAN (text field is * as well)
Destination (drop down) LAN (text field is your local IP to the server)
Port Range (UDP) 9000 - 9080

That will open your internet ip to forward all ports 9000-9080 to your destination (local ip)

EverQuest protocol is UDP, server is TCP keep your TCP private and local it is just as vulnerable as the EQ protocol.

9000 is the world port, you can use 9001-9080 for zone ports set it in your eqemu_config.xml

Thank you will I will try this.

Much appreciated!
