here is what is happening when you connect your world server to the login server:
1. Login Server stores your servername/ip into memory exactly as you have it.
2. Whenever someone connects to the login server it retrieves your servers name/ip from memory and sends it to the connecting player along with all the other server names/ips.
3. When the client hits connect it uses the ip it was last sent for that particular server and tries to connect to it.
If you put in an internal lan ip, then only people inside your internal network can play because anything in the 192.168.x.x is not routable on the internet. To allow people to play on your server from the internet you need to do the following:
1. Put in your server's correct world accessible IP address.
2. Open port 9000 on your router to allow any traffic to come into your world server.
3. Open all ports that your using to run the zone servers. (Located inside boot5zones.bat if your using it. Typically 8000-8999). You only have to open the ports you are actually using. Ie if your using ports 8878 and 8890 then open just those ports or you could open a range if you have them all sequencial.
