ether use 2 different ips to login or Set up in the RunUO 1.0 RC0\Scripts\Accounting\AccountHandler.cs to have 2 account for one ip

How are you trying to connect to your server? Are you using the local IP of your server computer, or are you trying to connect to it using your internet IP?

[Alcore]

i have tried using what others would use..my ip(myisp.com)..put that in the proper fields on server.cs...and i did change the accounts to 2 accounts for 1 isp

It could be a version or patch issue. Also make sure you are using the correct uogateway on the other pc.

here goes...i have all the information in my server.cs pointing to my ip address that i got from myispcom...got my router to port forward (using a linksys model BEFSR41)...i have everything coming to my computer... I can log into my server using the 127.0.0.1...i have gateway set up with my true addy....remove encription..i cant get my other computer to access the server...i have that one set up to connect to true addy..i have tried jsut about every address i have to connect to it..we have a cable modem address is constant..i called isp provider to make sure they wasnt blocking port 2593...and they are not...i have looked at all the information on my linksys..done everything they said i should do for port forwarding..including disabling the DHCP...i even tried the DMZ host..to allow for access to my computer...i have been trying for 2 days now...please anybody help with more information..or double check what i am doing...or tricks...i have runuo 1.0...here is my server.cs file ..i have my accounts set for 2... using System;

I could not connect either. When you reset or unplug you router it will change your ip so be sure not to do that. Also be sure the firewall on your pc are off to. There is something blocking the signal its either your router or pc firewall problem. I am guessing you did not set router info correctly.

P.S. When you post a script please use the wrap tags option in the future please.

[Alcore]

i am new to posting and the lauguage i will use wrap tags if i knew what they were and how to use them..sorry if i did something wrong...i will look into the router again...but all the documentation i followed..but doenst hurt to look again...i run XP..and i have the firewall off to it...and the only thing that resembled a firewall on the router was the DMZ hosting

[Broadside]

In you router click the advanced tab go to forwarding put the 2593 in the 2 boxes under Ext.Port make sure tcp protocal is checked look on your server window and use the ip there for the port that being something like 192.168.1.102 or something like that than check the enable box next to that and apply i think that is what your router needs to set your server live.

I can try logging in 5 mins or so after you reply to this and see if i can get in your server for you. Also if you do not want a lot of peopl hopping in your server i would edit that first post and delete the script you put on there it shows your ip.

[Alcore]

ok..i went into router settings...i have it set for 2593 2593 TCP the ip it forwarded to....hope this works...should i do anyhting to filters?

[Broadside]

Nope as long as that ip there shows the same as your server window does that being the last 3 digits there for it will call its own ip rather than the two given out to you pcs. Also be sure you have uogateway 1.9 the newest one. Now this ip you are opening in your router is not supposed to match the one in your gateway the one you use is the one you get from the website that shows your ip the router number is just allowing the flow to your pc. If you have done all of this and nothing i suggest you check your security preferences on the pc running the server itself for it is the only other thing i can think that is causing us not to be able to log in.

i got it up and running last night finally...i had a friend that made a shard and he walked me through it...what we did..uninstalled runuo..installed a fresh copy...only thing thats was differnt was when i made my admin account...my son and i did the first one..and put my server name for account login...but all is working fine now...thank you for all your advice...and your time....i will try and not be such a noob.. ..so i am really looking into all the post for my answers..before i post anymore...hate looking like a dumba** sometimes...
