ok i understand i have to do the following: turn on tcp_syncookies turn on rp_filter I dont understand how to limit the packets per client though. I use windows XP on my server atm, do you know what software i need to do the limiting?

It's because my server had about 60 to 100 players but then I got some very annoying hackers against me. a whole team actually named eternity hackers. they decided to try and take me out and they succeeded, the lag was unbearable. I've now remade the server but im not going live before I've secured my connection. And i think a good way to secure it is to make them think the server is at the IP of the logonserver, while it aint. that's the use. checked for the services.msc and there's nothing running named mangos world authentication or whatever when im not having it started up

It's not 2 separate Network Interface Cards, it's only one, with dual input. they do have seperate extern IPs. here's a simple figure of how my setup is. amateur painting skills ftw, hope it clears some stuff up the easy way. These hosts cannot connect to WAN through the LAN router, so they auto-use the WAN connection of the 2. I've tried putting the bindIP to 0.0.0.0 but that didnt result in any improvement.

well im not here to flame you guys actually so i'll keep it friendly, thanks for replying actually! It indeed are two physical hosts, the SQL connection is correct, i've checked it all. Both computers are directly connected to my modem (through a switch) so port forwarding is unnecesairy and even impossible, because it's unnecesairy.. uhm.. yeah. i've already tried taking a different port for the server, like 8129 for instance, but it doesnt have any effect. same error, the acceptor cant be opened. Both hosts are btw in the same network, i have multiple IP's in my range so they do have different extern IP's but they are connected to eachother through my LAN (both Hosts have 2 connection plugs, 1 LAN (which is non-connected to internet but connected to a router. non-connected to the internet because i didnt fill in the gateway port in the configuration) and the other connection is external, directly to the modem) Nothing else could really be using the 8085 port, neither the 8129 port. It's a clean windows install and all, so i guess thats all right. Hope I informed you somewhat more detailed.. thanks for your replies You can also check out my post on trinity forums, to see what suggestions were given there and what info i've told there, might come in handy. http://forum.trinitycore.org/topic/28812-extern-logonserver/page__gopid__151732#entry151732 Hope i dont break any rules by posting a link to a different emulator page

nobody who can help me?... edit; this really pisses me off.. 50 views, no replies. wtf is wrong with you developers

Hi, I was wondering how I can set the deathnight's talent points to 71 as a standard. because my server is configured to be instant 80, but then the DK still have 25 talent points.. fail :blush: Another thing i was wondering; how can i add the option to buy dual specc to a trainer? i cant find the correct flags for it.. i already managed to add talent resetting to it so the npcflag is 51, how do i add the dual specc?

Hi, I was trying to host my logon server external from my worldserver. Now the configuration of my system is the following: Host #1: Logonserver Host#2: worldserver SQL server Now the problem is that I can't manage to get my worldserver being accepted by the logonserver. Is there anything im doing wrong in my configuration? 2010-09-24 23:08:59 mangosd process priority class set to HIGH 2010-09-24 23:08:59 2010-09-24 23:08:59 2010-09-24 23:08:59 [0 ms] SQL: UPDATE realmlist SET realmflags = realmflags & ~(2), population = 0, realmbuilds = '12340 ' WHERE id = '1' 2010-09-24 23:08:59 Max allowed socket connections 4096 2010-09-24 23:08:59 ERROR:Failed to open acceptor ,check if the port is free 2010-09-24 23:08:59 ERROR:Failed to start network 2010-09-24 23:08:59 [0 ms] SQL: UPDATE realmlist SET realmflags = realmflags | 2 WHERE id = '1' 2010-09-24 23:08:59 [0 ms] SQL: UPDATE characters SET online = 0 WHERE online<>0 2010-09-24 23:08:59 [0 ms] SQL: UPDATE account SET active_realm_id = 0 WHERE active_realm_id = '1' 2010-09-24 23:08:59 [0 ms] SQL: UPDATE character_battleground_data SET instance_id = 0 2010-09-24 23:08:59 Halting process... That's what I get when the worldserver gets to the connection with logonserver point.. My server has a clean installation of windows, it had norton antivirus on it but that's gone now. This error remains even when i disable windows firewall and every single possibility of it being blocked. greets!
