#1 - If you want AOM to automatically configure itself for DirectIP, add the following line to the Age of Mythology shortcut:
AddressServer=”repeater.aom.eso.com”
This will cause AOM to automatically configure your external IP address information any time you select a DirectIP or LAN game (by querying the ESO Address Server.) If you want to host games behind a router, NAT or firewall, you will also need to map/open UDP port 2301 to the host machine or place the host machine on the DMZ.
OR
#2 - If you want to define/override your external IP address manually, add the following line to the Age of Mythology shortcut:
OverrideAddress=”X.X.X.X”
This option is for advanced users who don’t have a public internet connection to ESO, or don’t want the game to attempt to contact the servers at all. Replace X.X.X.X with the external IP address of your machine. For instance, if your machine has an internal “fake” IP address of 10.10.0.1, but an external “real” IP address of 208.100.50.5, you would add OverrideAddress=”208.100.50.5” to your AOM shortcut. If you want to host games, please map/open UDP port 2301 to the host machine or place the host machine on the DMZ.
