Deprecated Darkstar fourms

I've seen 3001 issues come up many times looking through the forum posts, but there's never been any kind of resolution to them. So here goes. On this new server I've built, suddenly nobody can get in reliably. One of my other users initially had no trouble getting in, then suddenly got non-stop 300...

A few days later, and the server is up and running like a charm. It took actually trying to do the connections to see what Atom0s was talking about, but the way he described it was spot-on. I can't thank everybody enough for all the help with this. Hopefully I'll be able to provide the same help the...

The Navicat link worked great, thanks. As for Visual Studio, the install went fine, but it left out the Microsoft SQL server components. I'm assuming this is because the SQL server is already set up and it interfered with the install, but are the Microsoft components actually crucial to the whole pr...

Ah okay, so connecting to 127.0.0.1 still needs the hairpin if the ZoneIP is set to public. At least my logic wasn't too far off on the rest of it. Thanks for all the help, I really appreciate it

I've scoured the forum and read up on as many posts as I could find related to the zoneip/hairpin dynamic. I'm hoping I have my head properly wrapped around how it should go. If I don't, perhaps someone could correct my faulty logic? So here's the setup: I have a desktop I'm going to use as the serv...

Much appreciated on those links. There's a lot I'm having to wrap my head around to get this server going, but I'll try my best not to annoy everybody with all the questions I'm bound to have lol

The 4 versions of Visual Studio Express I'm seeing are 2013 for Web, 2013 with Update 2 for Windows, 2013 for Windows Desktop, and Team Foundation Server Express 2013 with Update 2. I'd imagine there isn't a whole lot of difference between them that would impact what's needed for the server, but bet...

Awesome, I'll go with that then. Thanks for the help.

Quick follow-up question: There's 4 versions of Visual Studio 2013. Any preference? And does 32 or 64 matter for all of this?

So I'm getting ready to take a shot at building my own server, but the Navicat link in the wiki guide isn't working. Would anybody happen to know which versions of Navicat Lite work with the build so I can go out and find it elsewhere?

I guess I'm a bit relieved to see this thread, since I'm getting the same error when I try to get into that server. Been away for a while, and today was the first chance I've had to try and get back into Whasf's server. I got back into my old account, my character was still there on the login server...
