Public Server Only Works On Localhost

[Sikkun]

Hey,

So I'm trying:

<address>97.143.11.53</address> 
<localaddress>192.168.158.128</localaddress>

which is adress = ip from whatsmyip (in linux box)
and localaddress - sudo ifconfig (in linux box)

changed the other one back to localhost.

Now im back to the orginal problem =( can log on from the local host but not from any other computer.

I also tried this using 0 firewalls on both computers.

I almost want to say the problem is because im using a evdo 3g air card, but seeing that has no problem allowing users to connect on windows it has to be something in the config.

Alo my Vmware only lets me connect to the internet using NAT (to share the ip with my host) not sure if that coule be a problem.

Thanks,
Sikkun

You should now be able to connect to your server from the internet. Have a friend, or someone outside your LAN, confirm that they can connect. I do not see why a 3g card would be an issue as long as your connection is outside the LAN the eqemu server is running on.

If not, it must be ports that are not forwarded properly. Port 9000, and all zone ports (viewable in the database) must be forwarded.

Can you confirm this works?

Currently you can not log onto the server outside of the lan.

I have a feeling it has something to do with Vmware's NAT connection, I don't know if there is anyone that has there server running on vmware that has any hints??

Ok so I moved my computer to an actual network just to see what would happen. I have the ports 7000-7100 and 9000 forwarded on the router and my Windows server lets people outside of the LAN connect.

Vmware Linux on the other hand...grrr

I have the vmware set to a bridged connection and I made my Ip (Windows) static.

if I do a ipconfig (Windows) I'm told my ip is: 192.168.2.150
if I do a ifconfig (Linux) I'm told my ip is: 192.168.2.5
whats my ip on both gives me: 70.126.158.125

my eqemuconfig:

<!-- DO NOT EDIT ANY LINES BETWEEN HERE AND THE DATABASE SECTION -->

		 <address>70.126.158.125</address>
		   <localaddress>192.168.2.5</localaddress> 

		<!-- Loginserver information.  DO NOT EDIT -->
		<loginserver>
			<host>eqemulator.net</host>
			<port>5998</port>
			<account></account>
			<password></password>
		</loginserver>

		<!-- Server status.  Default is unlocked DO NOT EDIT RIGHT NOW -->
		<!--<locked/>-->
		<!-- <unlocked/> -->

		<!-- Sets the ip/port for the tcp connections.  DO NOT EDIT -->
		<tcp ip="localhost" port="9000" telnet="disable"/>

		<!-- Sets the shared key used by zone/launcher to connect to world -->
		<key>somelongrandomstring12345</key>
		
		<!-- Enable and set the port for the HTTP service.  Defaults are shown -->
		<http port="9080" enabled="false" mimefile="mime.types" />

and so on. I can see the server listed from computers outside of the LAN but they just go back to the login screen after a minute of trying to connect.

Unless im missing what you are trying to get me to do completely, I believe vmware is blocking something...just have no clue how to get it to stop.

Your ports on your router are forwarded to 192.168.2.5?

Or are they forwarded to 192.168.2.150?

[Sikkun]

I forwarded them to 150

[orkim]

Well, that's a problem. Forward them to the linux VM. 192.168.2.5
