looking for a little help with the networking for my server, I had it working via lan perfectly, then I tried to swap settings in my realmlist table to utilize a domain that I had as well through my dynamic dns. Nothing. I try to set my realmlist settings back to work on the lan and it just simply won't get passed "connecting" on the client. Ping goes through, ports are open, firewalls on both machines have those ports/apps opened for TCP, external port forwarding on my router on ports 8085, 8086, 7878, 3724. I even setup port triggering in case the outbound was getting blocked from the client. One thing that isn't clear, I thought I understood but maybe I don't, on realmlist table (top level) there are settings for address/local address. I assumed that was to reach the initial authentication, correct? or do we leave those alone. Then in realmlist data the individual realms have address/local address. Do we only make changes on the data side? if so then do I need to reset my realmlist table back to 127.0.0.1 for both, and only make changes on the data side?

The whole thing is very confusing to me as, in my head if I am running a service on an open port, why the hell does the server care what address I have typed into the realm list. Essentially the LAN IP or public IP should both work to reach the destination if the routes are open and it is accepting connections? I have ran game servers before and usually if you were on lan you could use lan, or public if you wanted, some would get hung up as Lan would HAVE to use LAN Ip to connect, but either way, I cant even get the Lan connection working. using Lan IP for address, 127.0.0.1 as local, lan IP for both, on the table and the data section. I'm hoping that I just messed up the entries on my realmlist table and need to revert that and ONLY make changes to realmlist data?
