[Mangos One] Client connection problem

[Safwen]

Hi , I have been following tutorials and forum posts to setup a private Mangos One server and now it's up and running but i can't test it with a client because the game won't work on windows 2008 (that's where I installed the server) so I tried connecting from another OS in the same LAN but no luck . I'm sure it's a Realm IP or port problem can any body help me ?

For connection problem look on 2 things:

- Into mangos.conf file set the BindIP like BindIP = "0.0.0.0"

- Into realmlist table (into realm database) set "address" column with the LAN IP of server.

Try this to connect from LAN... and also be sure that client OS firewall and server OS firewall are correctly configured to allow network connections.

Hope this can help.

Cheers

Thank you but I have allready set those configurations , it just won't connect

However I noticed there is a "realmd.exe" in the same folder as the "mangosd.exe" , what is that daemon for ? and why does the server crash if I start it when "realmd.exe" is running ? could this be the problem?

Edit : good news I have changed the port in realmd.conf to 3724 and ran "realmd.exe" and "mangosd.exe" in the same time and now it connects

Very well

basically:

- Realmd.exe is the deamon that manage the mangos instances

- mangosd.exe is the deamon of mangos instance.

you need both active to connect (as you discovered).

The connection sequence is (as i discovered, can be incorrect):

1) client -> realmd.exe: first account login

2) realmd.exe -> client: send list of available mangos instances

3) client -> realmd.exe: client choose the mangos instace

4) realmd.exe -> client: send mangos instance ip:port info to connect

5) client -> mangosd.exe: connect to mangos instance

Realmd.exe main mission is to manage multiple mangos instances at the same time in the same server

Cheers!
