help me connection issue

[Auntie Mangos]

Your server has an IP on your LAN, but you are trying to bind to the router's public IP

set bind IP to "0.0.0.0"

set the DB IP's to the LAN IP of your server (in both mangos.conf and realmd.conf)

Some routers aren't capable of NAT loopback. If you aren't able to connect from inside the LAN, read this thread for some workarounds.

and if you're concerned about keeping the server private and safe, you should:

• * remove the domain name from your post
  * stop using DMZ, use port forwarding for ports 3724 and 8085

You sound like you know what your networking wise but i'll ask anyways,

Did you set the IP address in the realmlist table (realmd DB ) to the LAN IP of the server, and also use this IP in your clients realmlist.wtf file?

Default MaNGOS will use RealmID 1, the default DB entry for RealmID 1 is 127.0.0.1 (loopback not LAN), change that entry to reflect your LAN address

I don't want to sound suspicious but could you write us the different files :

realmlist.wrf

part of mangosd.conf which define which port mangos is listening

the realm_db

if all those files are correct we will be sure it's a networking issue.
