Hostname: this is the realmlist players will use to connect to you, and also what you use to forward some information in your config files.
This is your DNS SERVER
NEXT
Step 1 part two) get aPen and a peace of Paper: To Write this down
Write down the DNS server you made in step 1a).
Write down 127.0.0.1
Write down 0.0.0.0
Now open up a command promt (Windows key + r) (cmd) and type
http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a73/odotg/Image8-2.jpg
ipconfig/all
http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a73/odotg/Image5-1.jpg
This will list a bunch of connections, and their protocols.
You are looking for this:

Your NUMBERS should look different, but they are in the SAME AREA.
WRITE THEM DOWN!!.
NEXT
Step 1 part three) IP ADDY
IP Chicken - Whats my IP address? ip address lookup
http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a73/odotg/Image10.jpg
So by now you should have 3 sets of numbers written down and the DNS Server.
To make it simple for the rest of this guide, we will name the numbers you wrote down
127.0.0.1 = localIP (not needed YET in this guide, may edit later)
192.168.1.x = routerIP (3 on the pic)
192.168.1.X = MYIP (2 on the pic)
(value from chickenIP) =ChickenIP
DNSSERVER = DNSRV
Step 2 part 1) PORT FORWARDING
LOMG!!!!
In your address bar type the value you wrote down that was DEFAULT GATEWAY.
The login/password information should be one of these combinations. IF non of these work, press and hold the RESET button on your ROUTER for 30 seconds until it resets. Usually the POWER light will start blinking and then go steady again.
Login Pass
Admin Admin <-- most of the time.
Admin (none)
(none) (none)
(Admin) (password)
Now, find out by looking around and clicking links on how to PORT FORWARD. Mine was under a tab called Applications and Gaming.
Forward the ports shown in the below image.

Make the protocol selection BOTH. If you don’t have a choice, leave it blank, this usually also does TCP/UDP.
NEXT
Step 2 part 2) Hosts File
Goto
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc
And open the file
Hosts
http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a73/odotg/Image11.jpg
Now you need to write THREE THINGS!!
127.0.0.1 yourservername.hostnameyouchose
Router IP yourservername.hostnameyouchose
CHICKENIP yourservername.hostnameyouchose
It should look similar to this ^
Code: to show which goes with which this is not the corret format below u must substitute you dns host name and ips in.
127.0.0.1 gmtricks.servegame.org
192.168.1.1 gmtricks.servegame.org
64.178.156.20 gmtricks.servegame.org
SAVE AND EXIT.
NEXT
Step 3 part one) Config Files
Go into your ascent folder and open your 3 config files (realms, logon, world)
World:
#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-
<WorldDatabase Hostname = "DNSSVR" Username = "root" Password = "****" Name = "world" Port = "3306" Type = "1">
<CharacterDatabase Hostname = "lDNSSVR" Username = "root" Password = "****" Name = "world" Port = "3306" Type = "1">
logon
<LogonDatabase Hostname = "DNSSVR"
Username = "root"
Password = "edwin"
Name = "world"
Port = "3306"
Type = "1">
change these to your chicken ip
AllowedIPs = "127.0.0.1/32"
AllowedModIPs = "127.0.0.1/32">
realm
<Realm1 Name = "Your Realm Name" Address = "DNSVR:8129" Icon = "Normal" Colour = "1" Population = "1.0" TimeZone = "1">
YOU NEED THE :8129
make this your dnsaname also
<Realm1 Name = "Middle Earth"
Address = "DNSSVR:8129"
Icon = "PVP"
Colour = "1"
Population = "0"
TimeZone = "1">
<Realm2 Name = "Middle Earth"
Address = "DNSSVR:8129"
Icon = "PVP"
Colour = "1"
Population = "0"
TimeZone = "1">Code:
NEXT
Step 3 part 2) seting the Realmlist
Now you open your realmlist.wtf file and input this
Code:
set realmlist DNSSVR
ex set realmlist make it your DNSSVR
updates made to accommodate the recent patches! :)
