This tut will help you setup your server so other people can join and play on it
Step One
First off you need to find your Internal and External ip adress.
Internal ip:
In command promt type “ipconfig” and hit enter, the line after IPv4Address will show your internal ip
External ip:
http://www.whatsmyip.org/
then go to http://www.dyndns.com/, make an account, and then go to https://www.dyndns.com/account/services/hosts/add.html, choose a hostname and click “use auto detect IP Adress” then create the host.
Step Two
You need to forward some ports to your router if your pc/ server is behind one.
You need to forward these ports as TCP:
3036
3306
6112
6881
8050
8093
8129
3727 (this is for voice chat, it is optional)
80 (this is for apache/your website)[/code]
If you don’t know how to forward ports for your router you can find out here: http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/routerindex.htm
Step Three
In this step you will configure your server to make it public.
Go into your Arcemu folder and open the realms.conf with notepad. And scroll down untill you see:
Address = "DNS You made at DynDNS:8129"
Icon = "Normal"
Colour = "1"
Population = "1.0"
TimeZone = "1">
And edit the address line to your dns server adress.
Step Four
Now you will need to edit your host file in your pc/server.
The file is located in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\, and open it with notepad. And edit it until it looks like this:
# 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
127.0.0.1 Your DNS you made at DynDNS.com
Your DNS you made at DynDNS.com
Your DNS you made at DynDNS.com

Remember, your configs should look like this:
Address = "Your DNS address:8129"
Icon = "PVP"
Population = "0.0"
TimeZone = "2">
