Thanks, thats solved it i'm sorry when i posted this i was in error, you can connect to the server from the same machine you are hosting it from you just need to add another line in your subnet_athena with subnet: 255.255.255.0:127.0.0.1:127.0.0.1

No, i spawned multiple Mvp's and other mobs that i know usually spam skills and none of them were using any, just auto attacking away

i had a similar problem, try adding another subnet like this subnet: 255.255.255.0:[Your WAN IP here]:[Your WAN IP here] edit: also the LAN IP's on your first subnet should both be the IP the server is hosted at unless you are hosting the individual servers on different machines, also you cannot connect to your own computer (if thats where your hosting the server) through your own WAN IP, it doesnt work.

Yeah so it turns out they dont all have to be the WAN IP, just the ones that say so, it was a subnet_athena issue that was preveneting my connections coming in right and then the other problem was i was trying to connect to a server hosted on my computer from my computer, so i was trying to connect to my own WAN IP and that doesnt work i guess lol. But I was able to get others connected to the server i just cant connect locally with that setting.

I have no idea why but none of my mobs will use any skills. My server is pretty much freshly installed and configured so im sure its just a setting i have missed but I dug around in the files and cant find anything and also tried searching the forums so if this has already been answered in another thread, my apologies. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

So when you say they /all/ need to be the same, in the map_athena and the char_athena there are 2 places for IP's, one for the location of the other server, and one for the IP that players will be connecting to, if im correct. Are you saying they all have to be my WAN IP? cause if so something went terribly wrong when i tried it, my servers would not login to each other.

yes I am hosting it on my PC, I am trying to make it so my family and freinds can connect to it through the internet. As for this In the config files for each of the servers i have it set to localhost where it says it should be where the other servers are located in respect to each other and in the part that says to use WAN IP i have my WAN IP, I dont see why i would make them all the same because there should be no reason for the login server to have to go all the way out into the internet and back through my WAN IP to connect to the map server. I have tried the subnet_athena with this configuration as well as with 255.255.255.0:[LanIP]:[LanIP] Yeah i tried searching the forums as well as googling and i did find several posts that were similar to this problem but all with varying solutions and none of them worked for me. I did see that people were told to use the search function first which is why I tried searching for the answer so much. I will keep posting answers to any questions that might help you help me!

Okay so i got a client and everything and diffed it and i can login to my server as long as i use my LAN IP or 127.0.0.1 but if i try to login using the WAN ip in the clientinfo.xml it just sits on connecting for a miinute untill it says failed to connect, i dont have any firewalls and windows firewall has been disabled in the services. I have forwarded the ports and made sure i have a public IP that is static through my ISP. I checked with canyouseeme.org for my all my servers ports and it sees all of them and my login server shows the connection when i run the query from that website. I already tried making my subnet_athena 255.255.255.0:(LANIP):(LANIP) i dont know what the problem is please help??

So what client is everyone using now? And how do I diff it? And what diffs work? Are there still several versions of the clients that people are using? I know it's a lot of questions but I'm new to this whole thing and the client part is really throwing me off. I have managed to install my server properly and get it up and running but the client is is not working out for me, what's the client you would reccomend that would be the easiest to get working?
