You can follow this tutorial below or my video tutorial above
okay, you are gonna need to find your EXTERNAL IP, and your INTERNAL IP, write them down.
To find your external IP, go to [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] You see the really gigantic numbers? That's your external IP.
Now for your internal IP, hit windows+R(the windows key+ R). type into the run box cmd, and hit enter. A command prompt will pop up. Type ipconfig, and hit enter. In that list, find your IPv4Address, that is your internalIP, write it down. it'll be something like 192.168.x.x probably.
Okay, so the first step is to go onto the old interwebs, to [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
Create an account, then go to account section then on the first list, the fourth one down, is add host services. click that. Type in the name, and choose the domain, choose host with IP address, and use the Auto-detected address. Then right below the address is Edit TTL. Click that, and change the timeout to the second option. Then click create host. Copy that address, it will be used later.
Now, go into your C:\Your Repack\Emu\Configs\ and open your realms config. At the bottom, there is a section that says
Code:
Code:
Address = "127.0.0.1:8129" Icon = "PVP" Population = "0.0" TimeZone = "2"> change it to:
Code:
Code:
Address = "Dynamic DNS address here:8129" Icon = "PVP" Population = "0.0" TimeZone = "2">
Now you need to open the file C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts in notepad. NOTE: Windows vista users must open Notepad as administrator. NOTE(Again): Windows XP users might have to right click and go to properties, and at the bottom, uncheck the little read-only box.
No, inside of the file, you should see
Code:
Code:
127.0.0.1 localhost
now, before that add
Code:
Code:
external IP DynDNS Address Here internal IP DynDNS Address Here 127.0.0.1 DynDNS Address Here
Save that.
Now, most everyone nowadays has a router, and the with a router, certain ports go to certain computers, you need to make sure that the ports go to your computer. go to [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] To see how to forward ports on your router. Once you've forwarded them, you must also forward the ports on any firewalls you may have, or just shut them down. Everything is different, so I really can't help you there, if you tell me which firewall, I may be able to help you individually.
The ports you need to forward are:
3306 3724 8129 8093 3727
Now that the ports are forwarded, you need to make sure that they are going through.
Go to [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] to check that port. If it says error, then it is not going through. NOTE: if it doesn't go through, run your server, then check it.
Now your all good to go. To have other people play on your server, have them change their realmlist.wtf to say
Code:
set realmlist DynDNS address here
