Post subject: No-one can enter

I just recently made my zone using the instructions from the How-to page on shanky.com and I can enter it and change the settings and everything. The only problem is no-one else can enter!

I've checked that I've followed the instructions correctly..can anyone help?

Attach or post server.ini and subbill.ini files so someone can tell you what's wrong and how to fix it.

You just made a few mistakes, this probably will fix your problem.

Quote:

[Misc]
ServerIP=82.25.153.161

This always has to be set to your public IP address, which can be found on http://www.whatismyip.com/, here I assumed that 82.25.153.161 is the correct value.

Quote:

[Billing]
IP=localhost
ServerId=7201
GroupId=1
ScoreId=7201

Billing:IP has to be "localhost" because your biller is running on your own system, do not set it to 127.0.0.1.

The ServerId and ScoreId probably are just supposed to be random numbers, but as the comment told us, let's set it to the port the server runs on.

The other things are fine (of course you could update your directory server list and improve some other things).
Good luck.

Are you using a firewall and/or router?
