None of this makes sense, but my server is working. I started researching the Received unknown opcode: 0x02d2 size:0 bytes error for the 20th time. Seems the Boot5zones.bat file and ip combinations were the key.
What I do NOT understand.
Here is the combination that works -
start zone . 172.18.222.113 7992 172.18.222.113
The IP addresses are my LAN IP addresses. Most of the documentation shows that the WAN address should be the first IP used. Also, from the World.exe window, it makes no sense at all that the following happens:
===========================================
Client disconnected
Removing client from ip:68.210.75.100 port:60338
302203 New client from ip: 68.210.75.100 port: 60341
Logged in: LS#38464: kaltan
Telling client to continue session with: Spelunker
===========================================
Why would I be removed upon connecting?
Anyway, I spend hours and hours trying to get this to finally work...
Hope that this documentation helps others.
