mmmh hello ,
try opening router ports, i dont remember which ones exactly, but in the wiki i remember i saw it from there.
and check wether ur firewall prevents ppl to log in ur server.

i opened ports for 53 80 2009 7777 9016 2106 on vurtual servers..... and on firewall .....do i need to open on port triggering too or not ? any other possible cause of that happening? stucking on please wait logging in message? (for others always not me )

answered ur pm

you only need to open ports 2106 and 7777.

you only need to open ports 2106 and 7777.

Why do you want to open 7777?

[jurchiks]

because it's the gameserver port?

[stefanosesp123]

somewhere i saw about 53 80 7777 2106 2009 soooo ? and thats for rooter and firewall also right ?

[JMD]

ports 53, 80 and 2009 are completely irrelevant to l2j. FYI Port 80 is for webserver (http).

Only ports you need to worry about with l2j are: 3306 (mysql), 9014 (loginserver/gameserver communication), 2106 (loginserver) and 7777 (gameservers).

Anyway as i mentioned earlier only 2106 and 7777 are needed to be open so players can login.

[jurchiks]

3306 should never be opened unless absolutely necessary.

[stefanosesp123]

if 3306 is open may somehow give access to someone in mysqql?

[jurchiks]

It is vulnerable, better keep it closed unless you really need it.
