Problem with creating online server

[Arif]

ok ill write everything what i have done yet.
i have created a l2j server gracia part 2. i can play it alone.
1. i run loginserver
2. i run gameserver (in the server.properties for the external IP i write my external ip (i learn it from myipaddress.com), for internal IP i write 127.0.0.1)
3. in hosts file i write:

Code: Select all

127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.0.1 l2authd.lineage2.com127.0.0.1 l2testauthd.lineage2.com

4. i run the l2.exe and can play
--------------------------- ok this part was easy----------------
now i want to make my server online so that my friends could join me over the internet. what i do is i go to 192.168.1.1 (to my router) and add ports to virtual server part (my router is D-link, so it may be in different place in different routers). i add these ports: 7777, 2106, 27016, 27021 and write my local IP (192.168.1.66) so that it would transfer incoming traffic to my comp. in the hosts file i write:

Code: Select all

127.0.0.1 localhost xx.xx.xx.xx l2authd.lineage2.comxx.xx.xx.xx l2testauthd.lineage2.com

where xx.xx.xx.xx is my WAN ip (and again i learned it from www.myipaddress.com).
so basically thats it. but then it doesnt work...
need a helping hand

thanks

also on local computers when i write my local ip to their hosts file, and run l2.exe, i can login until the server list, when i choose server and click ok it just stays there, ping shows 9999, but server status is "light" (blue)

1) you should NOT put L2J on the same computer than L2.
2) When the server is behind a router doing NAT, you can't connect from the outside.

ok, now i launched l2 from other computer and l2j from other, still cant connect.
and how do i prevent server from doin NAT (network address translation i guess) ?

NAT is used when you use a router which transform your unique IP address from a public range to multiple addresses in a private range.

In order to NOT use NAT, you'll have to have several IP addresses, one for the NAT to your system and one for your L2J server (which will have to be connected directly to the internet).

It may also be done using a firewall way more powerful than the common router boxes... But I guess that that kind of appliance is beyond your finances (several thousand Euros for the chepest one)

oh... i see now. thank you for information.
Now tell me, why then i cant even play it in local? in local computers they can log in, they can see server list, but cant enter, what can be the problem?
maybe it can help, im pasting here my server.properties file:

Code: Select all

192.168.1.66 is the LAN address... Don't use 127.0.0.1 which is local loopback.
