How to Make a Private server Public with No-Ip

[anders1993]

First you got to go to [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] and make an account there. When you log in you must Add a host. Make Your hostname and the domain. Like: tesrealm.no-ip.biz
HOstype: DNS Host (A)
Ip Adress: (go to whatismyip.com and you'll find it)
Scroll down and push the button called Create host. Go to [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] again and go to the download site. If you use windows you must download the windows version and etc. Install it and login on the client with your acc name and pass you made earlier on [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] When you open the no.ip client it will show you ure host and you have to check it to open it. then go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc and open the host.file with notepad or something. But when you save it, save it as host.file or else will it be saved as a. txt file. When you open the host file it will look something like this:

# Copyright (c) 1993-2006 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host


127.0.0.1 Your no-ip hostname
Internal IP Your no-ip hostname
External Ip Your no-ip hostname

To find your internal ip, open run.exe and type "cmd" and push enter. it will popup a black window. Wirte ipconfig in the popup window and find Ipv4 Adress. Your External ip is the same as the ip you found at whatismyip.com. NOw save that as host.file. then you need to forward these ports: 3724 - 3724
80 - 80
3306 - 3306
8129 - 8129
8093 -8093
6112 - 6112
6881-6999
3036 - 3036
8050 -8050
You have to go to your standard gateway to forward these ports. To find your standard gateway do exactly the same as you did to find your internal ip. It looks something like this: 192.168.0.1
then log on with your user and go to port forwarding. if you use D-Link go to advanced and then port forwarding. On the TCP and UDP name you write those ports i gave you. In the name field write for example: WoW1
And just use WoW(number) on each ports, but they can't be the same name. On the ip adresse field use your internal ip. Change your realm.config to this:

[anders1993]

Many repacks does only work good on the local part, and they don't work on the public part. I also try to make an server, but i've don't found the right one yet... But this guide does work if you find a repack that works

I'll post a new thread if i fiind a good repack

[anders1993]

I made a new guide, a guide that shows you how to make a private server. [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

I cant understand. # 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host


127.0.0.1 Your no-ip hostname
Internal IP Your no-ip hostname
External Ip Your no-ip hostname

it means
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host


127.0.0.1 wowserver.no-ip.org hostname
Internal IP wowserver.no-ip.org hostname
External Ip wowserver.no-ip.org hostname

or i dont understand??

[sgtmas2006]

Ive done this but i cannot log in as soon as i select my realm it goes back to the select realm page

[Glorianglorre]

Anders1993 i have made a guide that include this already. But is a good guide

EDIT: here is my guide [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

[Chris2308]

Thanks! By mixing this guide and hapkido masters, ive got it working, 1 rep for each of you.

[svensken1995]

Thanks, Just upgraded my friends server from Hamachi ,

You guys can't log in because of the Address. It should not be your hostname it should be your IP. That's why it says "# The address (and port) of that realm."

<Realm1 Name = "Realm name"
Address = "IP:8129"
Icon = "Normal"
Colour = "1"
Population = "1.0"
TimeZone = "1">
