The Login Dialogue

The Login Dialogue comes up when you select the "Log In" menu item from the Main Menu. It asks for your user name, and password. The last user name that you logged in with is shown in the user name field by default, so that you don't have to retype it every time, but for security reasons your password isn't.

Once you've entered your user name and password successfully, you will be taken to the Main Lobby. If you enter them incorrectly, an Authentication Error dialogue will appear, telling you so, and you will be able to correct them.

There are a number of login options available under the Configure button. Clicking on this button will bring up a configuration window that allows you to modify these options. Most people will not need to make any changes, and you should only modify these settings if you are having trouble loggin in.

Use Port 80
Select this option if you are unable to access the game on its usual port of 6789, particularly if this is due to a firewall blocking your access. This may enable you to connect using the less commonly blocked port 80. This may not work in all instances however, and is dependent upon your network configuration.

Use SOCKS
If you know your network uses a SOCKS proxy server, you may be able to connect using this proxy server using the appropriate settings. You must have at least three settings in the SOCKS configuration for it to work, in addition to having the Use SOCKS box checked. You must enter the name of the SOCKS proxy server in the Proxy Host Name field, and the port it uses in the Proxy Port field below it. If you're not sure what port it uses, port 1080 is provided as a default, as many SOCKS servers use this port. You must also choose the version of the SOCKS protocol that your server uses, from the SOCKS Version list. The Proxy User Name and Password are optional, and should only be entered if your SOCKS server requires them. NOTE: Do not enter your LotROTCG User Name and Password here.
