Most people don’t realise until it’s too late that 7 out of 10 Xboxes develop serious faults including the 3 light ‘red ring of death’, E74, freezing and much more. We offer a 1 hour fix alternative as opposed to a 6 – 12 week wait if you use a reair center

I know this post is old, but I have spent the better part of a work day trying to figure out the nature of the realm loop… Your solution worked like a charm! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Hello,

Thank you SO MUCH for creating these guides, they have helped me immensely.

I have come across a problem that refuses to go away. I’m trying to make my private server public and I continually reach failure.

My DNS address is thenunsofvoarcraft.dyndns.tv
I have edited the realmlist table in the realmd database to reflect this.
I have edited the hosts file to say the following:
192.168.1.205 thenunsofvoarcraft.dyndns.tv
I have ports 3724 and 8085 forwarded on my router.
My realmlist.wtf file reads “set realmlist thenunsofvoarcraft.dyndns.tv”

And no matter what I do, I get the same error message: “Unable to connect to realm list server”.

I have tried changing IP addresses in the Hosts file. I have tried putting my router in DMZ. Nothing has worked. I have reviewed these guides, among other guides, time and time again and I’m continually met with failure.

What exactly am I doing wrong?

Hey, just browsing thrue the comments, and found that there are a lot of questions regarding the use of the MySQL CLI.

When using it, note the following:

Every statement MUST be closed with a ‘;’ or else it’ll just start a new line for the same statement.

You don’t have to enclose a table or fieldname within the database with a ‘. You should, however, use it when entering strings, or words / phrases as variable to store.

Also, regarding the connectivity problems, read up on the basic principles of network addressing and possibly even WINS or DNS. This should resolve a lot of problems.

Personally I make full use of the DNS server in my router because it enables me to tinker with the LAN with LAN-Parties and testing computers. I use the NetBIOS name of my server computer instead of an IP address. This means I can plug the server in a different routerport without the hassle of reconfiguring Mangos or the router.

Hope that helped

I know problem is in hosts – 127.0.0.1 myservername.ath.cx, but if I change it(127.0.0.1) to my IP, I can’t connect.. And other ppl too… Whats the problem may be? I allready learned from a-z that portforward.com, but he says I gonna choose my router’s model, but I don’t have it… 2 weeks lookin in anykinds of mangos guides and still nothing, cuz everywhere “router, router, router”…
