Make Your Server Public (Advanced GUDIE)

[Cronic]

How to Make Your Server Public Without Hamachi.
This works with any patch number
just follow the steps and you should have ur server public with in like maybe 10-20 minutes



Step 1) Dyndns


Goto DynDNS.com and sign up for an account. Verify the account by checking the email and clicking the link.
kk after you do that login. Then click my hosts. then click add new hosts name. then fill out the fields that r blank, make sure u click the wildcard! and
Use Auto Dectect Ip Address.

the Hostname: this is the realmlist players will use to connect to you, and also what you use to forward some information in your config files.
This is your DNS SERVER

Step 2)

Write down the DNS server you made in Step 1
Write down 127.0.0.1
Write down 0.0.0.0
Now open up a command promt (start,run, type in cmd or command)
then type in
ipconfig/all

This will list a bunch of connections, and their protocols.
You are looking for this: your IP Address the 192. one THE IP Address Only And your Default gateway 192. IP

Step 3)

go to What Is My IP Address? - IP Address Lookup, Internet Speed Test, IP Info, plus more

Remember that IP!


So by now you should have 3 sets of numbers written down and the DNS Server.

To make it simple for the rest of this guide, we will name the numbers you wrote down

You have to know that :

127.0.0.1 = localIP (not needed YET in this guide)
192.168.1.x = routerIP (this is the Default gateway)
192.168.1.X = MYIP (This is the IP Address
(your Ip from watismyip) =whatismyip.com
your Dyndns 1)

kk now the hard part!

Step 4) PORT FORWARDING
In your address bar type the value you wrote down that was DEFAULT GATEWAY.
The login/password information should be one of these combinations.
Login Pass
Admin Admin
Admin (none)
(none) (none)
(Admin) (password)
user user
if none of these dont work ask ur ISP provider

Now, find out by looking around and clicking links on how to PORT FORWARD. Mine was under a tab called Applications and Gaming.

Forward the ports shown below
80
3036
3306
3724
6112
6881
8050
8093
8093
8129

Make the protocol selection BOTH. If you don’t have a choice, leave it blank, this usually also does TCP/UDP.

Also if you didn't get anything from this .. or you didn't find it Try this : Port Forwarder.rar

Step 5)

Goto
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc
and open hosts file
Now you need to write THREE THINGS!!

127.0.0.1 yourservername.hostnameyouchose
Router IP yourservername.hostnameyouchose
DYNDNS yourservername.hostnameyouchose


here is an example

127.0.0.1 example.servegame.org
192.168.1.1 example.servegame.org
64.178.156.20 example.servegame.org

save it. and exit

the next part

Step 5

Go into your repacks folder and go to your realms config


since im using ascent heres example

<Realm1 Name = "YOUR SERVER NAME HERE"
Address = "YOUR DYNDNS:8129"
Icon = "PVP"
Colour = "1"
Population = "0"
TimeZone = "1">

the next step

Step 6)
go into your wow folder and edit the realmlist.wtf


example:
set realmlist YOUR DYNDNS

then your done.!

for this "save problem" you should just save the hosts file on your desktop, and then drag it into your /.../etc file...your system should then ask for permission, just press "next" and it will work...^_^
