I would not use the Hosts file 'trick' on a server that also has the
viewer. The fact that you need to edit hosts file indicates that the
router cannot loopback. I use the Microsoft Loopback Adapter.
What happens is that the server broadcasts your public DNS name to
clients not as a name, but as an address. The server first does a DNS
lookup and via hosts, finds the 127.0.0.1 loopback. It will broadcast
this 127.0.0.1 address to a remote WAN client, and they cannot
connect. Yet it works for you. But without loopback, you cannot
connect.
On Windows, you can add a software loopback adapter for the Public Port
to loopback the public IP to the server, which allows the server to send
the public IP to clients.
Installation instructions:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc708322(v=ws.10).aspx
Once it is installed you have to set it up. It will be in the Control
Panel->Network Connections, as "NAT Loopback". Its just like an
Ethernet driver. Open it, and find Internet Protocol Version 4
(TCP/IPv4) and change its properties. I click "Use the following IP
address" and enter my PUBLIC IP in the IP Address box. No Gateway is
needed. Under DNS, I used my routers IP address so it can do the DNS
lookups. Or you can use Googles super DNS of 8.8.8.8. and 8.8.4.4
Once enabled, this will make any reference to the Public IP address
route right back to the system itself, just as the router should do.
And WAN users get the correct Public IP sent to them, instead of 127.0.0.1

Thank you Garmin. I have configured my internet connection to be a static
internal IP which is 192.168.2.10. Following your suggestion I replaced the
0.0.0.0 with that IP.
Result is: The console shows:
17:48:30 - [SCENE]: Region Arcana Welcome authenticated and authorized
incoming
root agent Isis Ophelia 1b77be9b-248e-400b-a4ca-499d0aa06d77 (circuit code
40308
2697)
And the viewer tells me: We are having problems connecting. There might be
a problem with your internet connection or the Arcana World Grid.
So pity this does not help :(
Thank so much though :)
