Connecting to my online server

Hello, I have been working at this for a while now and have not seen any good results Sad. I have setup a server, which I can connect to and play on no problem locally. Here is what my scripts/emu.conf files looks like:
--------------------------------------------------------------------

#include scripts/defines.scp

///WDDG EMU>CONF///
///

[system]
server_name=crookie's Server
server_rules=PvP
http_host=crookie.game-host.org
http_port=8080
rs_host=crookie.game-host.org
rs_port=3724
ws_host=crookie.game-host.org
ws_port=8085
world_sleep_ms=500
network_sleep_ms=100
connection_timeout=300
loglevel=1
save_text_ppoints=no
spawns_dupes_distance=64.0
max_players=100
s=0eec55dd9b4d62337345c407e06f2fd0

[game]
linger=20
npc_corpse_delay=60
autosave_time_minutes=05
health_growing_rate=1.50
mana_growing_rate=1.50
energy_growing_rate=1.50
delete_not_used_accounts_days=30

[bot]
rs_host=crookie.game-host.org
rs_port=3724
account=WAD2
password=TEST

[sniffer]
interface=1
port=3734

[banned]
//ip=195.162.0.0/255.255.255.0

--------------------------------------------------------------------
My IP is dynamic (Im on DSL), so I set-up an account at www.dyndns.com with the name crookie.game-host.org, as you can see from the config file above. My realmlist.wtf and my friends realmlist.wtf file look like:
--------------------------------------------------------------------

set realmlist crookie.game-host.org

--------------------------------------------------------------------
I have also changed the hosts file in 'C:/WINDOWS/system32/drivers/etc' to look like:
--------------------------------------------------------------------

# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.1.100 crookie.game-host.org

--------------------------------------------------------------------
I have completely disabled the Windows firewall. In my Router settings, I have opened the ports 3724, 8080, and 8085. I have also enabled my server machine as the DMZ host. Like I said, I have no problem connecting to my own server with this setup. However, anyone else that tries to connect (over the internet) gets an 'unable to connect' error. My friend, from his computer, sent a ping to crookie.game-host.org which was successful. I have done a thorough search of this forum and the wowresources forum but have not had any luck with this problem in particular. It seems other users are experiencing the same problem as well. Please, if anyone has any suggestions or methods please let me know.

sounds like your not forwarding your ports correctly. Make sure if you have a firewall that you forward the ports to your lan ip addy.

i/e

8080 => 192.168.0.100

Open this in both your firewall and your port forwarding options.

That's all I can think of it being.

If your buddy is getting a ping to you, then it has to be a port problem.

i can ping you as wel, but cannot get anything other than that. I see that you disabled windows firewall, but are you running behind a router? if so is it a router/firewall... you will have to allow it to forward the ports as well...

I will try that out and ensure that my ports are forwarded correctly, and get back to you.

if you are getting pings, it almost "has" to be a port forwarding issue, you even set up the dns correclty, it has to be a port problem.

here is a picture of my routing table:

here is a picture of what i changed my ports too. all the ports WERE set to 192.168.1.101, so i changed them to 192.168.1.100 (my local IP).

My friends can connect now. Hopefully this will fix other peoples problems to.
