Here's my config:
- Server 2008 R2 SP1
- SQL Server 2012 R2 SP1
- Running in VMWARE Workstation 10 (On my local PC)
- VMWARE is bridged
- Server has a static IP on my local network (192.168.0.158)
- All Server ini set to 127.0.0.1 except login server ini set to static ip
- Ports 7880 and 50005 are forwarded and open on my router.
- Ports verified by this tool from my public ip (I have a static public ip):

From my local PC:
- I can login to the server and create a new character or select a character
- When I choose channel it says Connection failed and sends me back to character screen.
- loginlist and channellist csv files are set to my server's static IP (192.168.0.158)
From outside my network:
- Can't login to the server at all
- Just says connection failed
- loginlist and channellist csv files are set to static public IP
1. Are there any other ports I need to open or forward on my router?
- Are there any other server ini I need to set my static (192.168.0.158) ip in?
- Is there a setting in the database I'm missing?
If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.
Note: for anyone using VMWARE 10 this is how to fix the Bridged networking issue if you have more than 1 Network adapter.
