Getting an ragnarok online server online is pretty easy, first you should edit these files:

char_athena.conf

map_athena.conf

inter_athena.conf

subnet_athena.conf

And place your ip in those files http://whatismyip.org

and dont forget to add your ip inside of your data folder (clientinfo.xml)

also check out this: http://rathena.org/wiki/Connecting

And last but most importantly you must portfoward ports: 6800 6121 5121

If you need any help don't be afraid to PM me!!

*EDIT*

Sorry I don't know what I was thinking open up cmd type in ipconfig /all then find IPv4 Address

It should look something like this 192.168.254.2 but be be a little different normally the last digits

it can sometimes be 3 digits

Please tell me the brand of your router

Your players will need the data folder that i sent you along with your IP inserted into the clientinfo.xml

edit these files, the lines with the ************ you must edit.

So, what i should put on the char IP, map IP, and login IP is the IPv4Address, not the one that is from whatismyip.org?

my router brand is inteno version: x5671b,.

ehm. where does the MySQL stuff and MySQL GUI tools comes in? what are those for? what do i have to do with them.

i have downloaded my port forwarding file.. any idea how do i use it?.

I could be wrong, from my understanding once your offline sever is set up anyone can connect to it as long as the client's cilent.xml file is set up to connect to your ip.

You are wrong hes running on a router he must port foward, and use the address I told him too.

use your whatismyip.org address in the clientinfo.xml

the sql setting are inside of inter.conf keep the 127.0.0.1 the same just edit the userid, password, and DB settings.

Also i'll be online on skype later just throw me a message but I'm going to be eating dinner soon so.
