IP Address defaults to 192.168.1.x from 127.0.0.1 on server startup

[exists002]

Hello. I'm a newbie here in creating private server.

I'm thinking of creating a local private server RO here in my small internet cafe.

I followed the steps on how to setup RO offline server on youtube by Speedrun.

But when I try to run runserver.bat, the IP address defaults to 192.168.1.26 as shown in the image

which results in error in running the server.

In Speedrun's tutorial, he doesn't have this error.

How can I prevent it from defaulting the IP address? Please help.

Thank you in advance

double check your config

check inter athena conf most probably there.

I checked the inter athena config but I can't seem to find the line where it defaults my IP address to 192.168.1.26 seen on first image at charserv.bat

then did u edit anything in char, login and map athena. maybe something about the IP there.

 

And make sure those ports are available not being used by any other process

In Char, I only enabled login_ip, bind_ip and char_ip (removed the backslashes)

in map, I enabled char_ip, bind_ip and map_ip

in inter_athena, I didn't touched any IP and only changed the login_id and passwords

Then I didn't touched anything in login_athena.db

 

But if I run the program in default settings, I can play the game no issue since I didn't set any IP (the 127.0.0.1)

The problem with this is other PC on the network can't connect to my server.

try to not enable those bind ip and map ip if its not needed just let it be as default.

and check the port is it open or not if its closed then for sure cant connect from other pc.

what are u trying to do? LAN only or using via internet? because using 127.0.0.1 works only on the same PC will not work on ur LAN. if u want to make it work on lan. make sure to use the local IP address provided by ur modem or router. if out side the network or over the internet. you must open specific port and use your public IP. or static IP address from ur ISP to make it work so others can connect on your server.
