so here's the thing.. firstly i don't mean to be rude.. but i really hate when people using exclamation mark.
STOP TALKING ABOUT NOIP STUFF!!! this is not even related with noip!.ur server did connect to the login server..
in ur server setup didn't even using hosting / domain.. it is using public IP.. right now the problem is.. when u using public IP.. login server not won't connect to char server.
that's why earlier i'm asing about either firewall on the modem or not setup port forwarding in the modem setting
since u using 127.0.0.1 no problem encounter, that is within local host.
noip is just to connect the client to the server, which u set in the clientinfo.xml. right now the problem is not even related with the client.. so stop bumbling about noip.!
right now, i have a question. do the server have problem connecting login server, char server & map server when using LAN IP?
in conf/char_athena.conf
Login IP: 192.168.1.xxx (ur computer IP)
Char IP: 192.168.1.xxx (ur computer IP)
--------------------------------------------
in conf/map_athena.conf
char ip: 192.168.1.xxx (ur computer IP)
map ip: 192.168.1.xxx (ur computer IP)
if not connected, perhaps there is firewall on ur laptop blocking the connection to connect the login server to the char server... if connected, so surely the problem is from the firewall / port forwarding in the modem setting..
