Help with external connections to server

[Kirgothi]

okay your router should be forwarding all tcp/udp traffic on ports 5999, 9000, and the ports required for each zone your booting up. me I use 7000 - 7100. They should all point to your eqemu server box.

How do we know what ports are required for each zone we are booting up?

I have tried everything on this thread and I still can't get anyone outside my router to connect. They were getting a 1017 error, but now when they pick my server and try to enter the game, the screen goes black for about a minute and then they get put back to the login screen.

This is easy, you know the zone ports, because you have choose them :

Not sure of your setup, but try replacing all instances of 127.0.0.1 in your eqemu_config.xml to your real IP address.

Thanks for all the info.
I am having a similar problem. My server worked all weekend fine and even had 5 players at once!
The problem came up when I added my router. I have forwarded all the ports needed and now am just waiting on someone to try loading up the Icy Hot Stuntaz and see if it works.
My question is about zone ports. I have forwarded 7000-7100, but I'm not sure about those port numbers. I'm using 7.0 with a fresh install of titanium and I can't find the info in my xml file. 7.0 has the smaller xml with less information and I can't find the longer more detailed xml file.
Does 7.0 use 7000-7100 for zones still?

(I did try search, but couldn't find what I was looking for. If this is a stupid question, I apologize in advance.)

You can find port zone config in your xml file.
