Did you try canyouseeme with your server running? A blocked/closed port could just mean there's nothing running to listen with. Port forwarding is only a bridge, not an actual listener process.

You said that could "previously" see the certain ports from the outside. Can you still see them now? If you haven't changed anything in your LAN settings or the config files since then, your ISP may have reassigned you to another address during DHCP Lease Renewal and your internet clients now have the wrong address.

Yes I used canyouseeme with my server running and still received the same message. I don't know what you mean about 'previously' but I can actually have people get in to web servers on my same system or other systems on my network using other ports - I just mean that inward communication from the outside world (ie; others connecting to my server(s) from the outside) does work, just it's crashing out when they try to log into a zone and actually play. They can login to my server from the server select and even create a character. But once they try to enter, it goes black and times out they say.

Also I've checked my IP etc and my IP is still the same and it's being logged in via eqemu's login servers so it's all handled that way so theres no prob with the lease renewal etc unfortunately. They are actually able to see my server anyway too - and can create toons but once they try to enter a zone, it's ka-put. Any other ideas?

There's a lot of posts/threads concerning this particular issue already..maybe we can add a few more keywords

Ok..start by posting both of your config files, and list the client types that are trying to connect (i.e., Titanium, SoF, SoD, HoT, UF and/or VoA.) Be sure to edit out your account/password settings since your hosting a public server. If you don't want to disclose your public IP address, just use [mypublicIP] in the posting.

Either post here and request that your other thread be deleted, or post there and place a message here and request redirection of your issue there. (if you redirect, a link would be helpful.) It's too difficult to track suggestions across multiple threads
