We have Verizon FiOS here. Used to have cable through Time Warner.

As for a login.ini... Think AxClassic may work slightly differently? I have a "LoginServer" txt that is in a "login" directory within axclassic. There's also a login application that I am guessing gets automatically started and minimized after mysql starts maybe? Anyway.. the LoginServer txt file in the "login" directory is this:

[LoginConfig]
ServerName=AX Classic
ServerDescription=AX Classic Server
ServerMode=PrivateLogin
ServerPort=5999
ipaddress=
allowanonservers=12
statsaddress=
statsport=

However there's also a LoginServer txt file in the root directory of axclassic that looks like this:

[LoginConfig]
ServerName=AX Classic
ServerDescription=AX Classic Server
ServerMode=Master
ServerPort=5999
ipaddress=
allowanonservers=12
statsaddress=
statsport=

The only differences I see immediately are that it reads "Master" for ServerMode, and has an ipaddress field that is blank that the first txt does not have. I have never edited either file, prior to or after my move, to my knowledge. That's not to say changing something in the gui couldn't have automatically changed it. Not sure on that.

Also, when I start mysql with the gui, and then manually run the login app, it appears to be using the txt from the login directory.... I'm no expert on how axclassic works though. I don't even know if that particular login exe is used when you click "start mysql" and then "start server" on the AxClassic gui. I'm guessing somehow there's a login.exe running in that process.

I guess setting it to PrivateLogin may block non-local incoming connections, but I don't really know as I'm not familiar with AXClassic stuff. Anyways, you could try that.

Also, to determine if it's just the login server that's having problems, you could try starting the world server and testing the connection at http://canyouseeme.org/ for port 9000 and 5998/5999 for the login server.

Interestingly enough, port 9000 times out on canyouseeme.org. Port 80 and 5999 do the same. All of those ports are forwarded on my router .113 which is my local IP... What could be causing this? I have firewalls and anti-virus completely shut off.

I did get this router from someone who used to use it. Could there be another setting in the router over-riding the forwarding?

From what I'm reading port 80 is the port used for general internet data transfer? How am I able to navigate the web and post here if canyouseeme says port 80 is timing out? Bit confused.

That's not how that works. Port forwarding maps ports to an internal address on the network so the router knows which computer to send the packets (this is to get around NAT). This is only needed if the router doesn't already know which computer to send them to, but when you connect to a website, you've established a connection and thus mapped the port already. Basically, you only need to forward a port if there are non-established incoming connections (if you're hosting a server, for instance). That's a simplistic overview, but it should give you an idea.


I'll do some research on the router when I have more time.
