I've been struggling with helping friends connect to my server. It works fine from my lan. locally - i access by ip 192.168.0.10. For external users, i have a public dns wow.mydomain.com set to my public ip. I'm able to use this dns name locally, but what should my address & localAddress in the realmlist table be? I've seen posts here where you should set localAddress to be the same as your lan.
Friends can login, they see the realm, but then get kicked out. I see lots of these posts, but haven't found a solution to my problem yet. The ports are opened according to telnet, and i see traffic through my firewall, so i don't think its a connectivity issue. What is the correct way to use both a local and public ip on the same server?

So they’re able to access the auth server because they can login, but not the realm/world server? It sounds like you might not have forwarded the world server port correctly on your router.
And yeah you’re right, you need to set both the local address and the remote IPs to be different.

I'm going to setup some sort of packet capture, but i do have 8085 and 3724 forwarding. So let say that my local ip is 192.168.0.10 and my external is 8.8.8.8 - what should the realmlist table look like?

Address should the public IP. localAddress should be the internal IP.
