Making your Server Public

This tutorial will show you how to make your Antrix server public WITHOUT HAMACHI! Fully tested and 100% working.

Part One:

1. Visit DynDNS.Com and Create an account.
2. Log in and click "Services" on the menu.
3. Under DNS Services there will be an option called Dynamic DNS. Click it.
4. Click on "Create Host."
5. Fill out the required fields, don't forget to check the box "Enable Wildcard."
6. Click "Add Host" and your done with this portion of the guide.

Part Two:

1. Open C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\Etc\Hosts.file
2. At the end of the File add the following.


Code:
127.0.0.1 (Dynamic DNS)(Internal IP) (Dynamic DNS)(External IP) (Dynamic DNS)
Dynamic DNS = The DNS you just created at DynDNS.Com

Internal IP = Your ip of the computer you are on, This can be found by going to start, then run. Typing in cmd, once the Windows command Prompt opens type in "ipconfig". You will get a readout the one you are looking for is "Ip Address" it normally starts with 192.

External IP = You outbound ip assigned by your ISP. You can find this by visiting this website

Part Three:

1. Open your Realms.conf file in the Antrix folder.
2. Change at the bottom of your realms.conf to look like this.




Code:
RealmCount = 2Realm1.Name = "YOUR REALM NAME"Realm1.Address = "YOUR EXTERNAL IP:8129"Realm1.Icon = "PVP"Realm1.Colour = 1Realm1.Population = 0Realm1.TimeZone = 1Realm2.Name = "YOUR REALM NAME;Local"Realm2.Address = "YOUR INTERNAL IP:8129"Realm2.Icon = "PVP"Realm2.Colour = 1Realm2.Population = 0Realm2.TimeZone = 1
3. Save and exit. You are now done with this part of the guide.

Part Four:

1. Connect to your router. This can normally be done by typing in 192.168.0.1. If your not sure what it is, then go to Start- Run- Type cmd- Type ipconfig. You should see the ip address like above, change the last sequence in it to a 1 and it should work. If you are still having issues consult your routers website on how to login to your router.

2. Now, It's time to forward the ports. Go into your port forwarding section under your router and forward;

3724 - 3724
80 - 80
3306 - 3306
8129 - 8129
8093 -8093
6112 - 6112
6881-6999
3036 - 3036
8050 -8050

3. If you have a Firewall disable it if you don't know how to set exceptions with it.

Part Five:

This next part is for how you connect.

1. Go into your World of Warcraft game directory.
2. Open realmlist.WTF in Notepad.
3. Replace everything in it with "set realmlist 127.0.0.1"
Note: I suggest you make a copy of the realmlist before changing the info so you can still connect to the Live WoW servers.

Part Six:

Getting a friend to connect.

1. Follow the above steps, except when in realmlist. WTF have them change it to "set realmlist (Dynamic DNS or your External IP)"

If everything is done correctly you should have a public server with out Hamachi, and you and your friends can have all the fun you want.
