How to Connect without using UoGateway

[aventae]

*Note - Connecting this way Requires all those wishing to connect to your server. All will need your Login.cfg file and UORice


Connecting Via Internet without firewall/router:

First you need to get your Ip..you can do so by clicking Start button...
Then clicking run or going to the MSDos prompt.. if you use run ..type in "cmd" and hit enter to get to MsDos Prompt....
Once at the MsDos prompt type in "ipconfig" and hit enter... you should see a bunch of numbers.. What your Looking for is where it says "IP Adress". Which is located just below "Connection-specific DNS suffix" is the number that your looking for.

(for the example will be using 127.0.0.1) this ip is local ip all pc's use this same ip for loopback or connecting local to the pc.

Now that you have your ip... 1 other things you'll need ... your Login.cfg file. This File is located in your Uo folder... You will need to make edits to the Login.cfg file ..Below is what the Login.cfg file looks like:

;Loginservers for Ultima Online
;Do not edit this file or patching will fail!  Always save a backup.
LoginServer=login.owo.com,7775
LoginServer=login.owo.com,7776

Now to Make the changes needed...

;Loginservers for Ultima Online
;Do not edit this file or patching will fail!  Always save a backup.
;LoginServer=login.owo.com,7775
;LoginServer=login.owo.com,7776
LoginServer=127.0.0.1,2593

the first number before the comma is the local ip which was discussed above.. the second number is the port number.. 2593 is the defualt port number Runuo uses.. the port number of coarse can be changed and if you already have changed it ..then you'll need the number you changed it to.
