Hamachi [b]Guide on Making Server Publ[b]i[/b]c![/b]

Step One

First download Hamachi.

Step Two

Configure Hamachi!

Start up Hamachi and power it on by clicking the button in the bottom
left hand corner. Now, click the button with the three dots that make a
triangle like shape. Choose Create a new network. Name your connection
name anything you would like and give it a password. Now, look at the
top of Hamachi were you will see some white numbers that start with 5.
something. Now, write down that number. Its your Hamachi IP address.

Step Two

Open Ascent Folder

Open up the file ascent.conf. Look for this part:

Code:
#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#
# Listen Config
#
# Host
# This is the address that the server will listen on.
# To listen on all addresses, set it to 0.0.0.0
# Default: 127.0.0.1 (localhost)
#
# WorldServerPort
# This is the port that the world server listens on.
# It has to be the same as what is specified in the
# realms table in the LogonDatabase.
# Default: 8129
#
#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#

WorldServerPort = "8129">

Where you see the listen host part change that to your Hamachi IP.

Example:
Quote:

Now close that and go to your logonserver.conf file.

Code:
# Host Directive
#
# This is the address that the realmlist will listen on.
# To listen on all addresses, set it to 0.0.0.0
# Default: 127.0.0.1 (localhost)
#
# Note: ISHost is the interserver communication listener.
#

ISHost = "0.0.0.0"
RealmListPort = "3724"
ServerPort = "8093">

Change the numbers of LISTENHOST and ISHOST to your HAMACHI IP.

Now close that and open up your realms.conf file.

Code:
#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#
# LogonServer Section
#
# Address:
# The address (no port) of the server.
#
# Port:
# The port on which the logon server listens. (*** NOT 3724 ***)
#
# Name:
# Not really relavant, but name the logon.
#
# RealmCount:
# The number of realms in the next section.
#
#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#

Port = "8093"
Name = "Default Logon"
RealmCount = "1">

#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#
# Realm Section
#
# Name:
# The name of the realm.
#
# Address:
# The address (and port) of that realm.
#
# Icon:
# The type of realm (PVP, Normal, RPPVP, RP)
#
# Colour:
# Realm colour in realm list display.
#
# TimeZone:
# Time zone the realm is in.
#
# Population:
# (0 = low, 1 = medium, 2 = high)
#
#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#

Address = "127.0.0.1:8129"
Icon = "PVP"
Colour = "1"
Population = "1.0"
TimeZone = "1">

Now, change the Logonserver Address to your hamachi ip. Also, change the address part before the 8129 to your hamachi ip.

Example:

Code:
#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#
# LogonServer Section
#
# Address:
# The address (no port) of the server.
#
# Port:
# The port on which the logon server listens. (*** NOT 3724 ***)
#
# Name:
# Not really relavant, but name the logon.
#
# RealmCount:
# The number of realms in the next section.
#
#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#

Port = "8093"
Name = "Default Logon"
RealmCount = "1">

#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#
# Realm Section
#
# Name:
# The name of the realm.
#
# Address:
# The address (and port) of that realm.
#
# Icon:
# The type of realm (PVP, Normal, RPPVP, RP)
#
# Colour:
# Realm colour in realm list display.
#
# TimeZone:
# Time zone the realm is in.
#
# Population:
# (0 = low, 1 = medium, 2 = high)
#
#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#

Address = 5.55.55.55:8129"
Icon = "PVP"
Colour = "1"
Population = "1.0"
TimeZone = "1">

Now close out of that. Your done. This is the most efficient and best
way to set up your server with Hamachi and works 100% of the time.

Step One
[/center]

[size=9]
The first thing you need to do is make a DNS for your server. This will
hide your server's IP address in a sub domain, for example, if my
server's IP address was 32.453.65.56, I could make a DNS so that my
server could be accessed through wow.frosthold.org. You can skip this
step if you want but it is not recommended, if you decide to skip it,
your server will be located at your IP address. Go to Any site and create an account. Then go to a site and choose a host name (this will be the address people use to get to
your server) and click “Use auto detected IP address” in the IP address
section, then click create host.

[/size]

[size=12][b]Step Two[/size][/b]

[size=9]
In this step we will forward the ports that Ascent uses so that it can
be accessed from outside your local network. This step is only
necessary if you have a router, if you don’t have one, skip this step.

If you do not know how to forward ports, go to google and find your router, it will tell you there.

You need to forward these ports:

8129
8093
3724
3727 (this is for voice chat, it is optional)
80 (this is for apache/your website)

On both TCP and UDP.

[/size]

[size=12][b]Step Three

[/size][/b]

[size=9]
In this step we will setup our hosts file and our realms configuration which is the final step needed to make our server public.

Go to Start --> Run and type put in [/size] [size=9]C:/windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts
(if you use a differant drive to C just put that in instead) and open
it with notepad. Add your IP address (you can find it [/size] if you don't already know it) followed by the address you made in DynDNS earlier to the end of the file like so:

Code:
# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

345.234.234.677 wow.frosthold.org
[size=9]
Now to setup your realms configuration. Go to your Ascent folder and
open realms.conf with notepad. Scroll down to the bottom, this is the
important bit:[/size]
Code:
Address = "345.234.234.677:8129"
Icon = "Normal"
Colour = "1"
Population = "1.0"
TimeZone = "1">
[size=9]
Just put your IP in followed by :8129 like above in the address section.[/size][size=9]

Your server is now public, make sure your server is actually running so
people can get on it! Also disable any firewalls you have on otherwise
it will not work. For people to access the server they need to change
their realmlists to your server address which you made at DynDNS. This
is also the address that they need to use in order to get on the server
website. If you're connecting locally your realmlist should be 127.0.0.1
