+// Athena TXT version LAN configure file.
+// Support Client Connect to Local Area Network (LAN) IP Address Server.
+// put this fle into conf/ directory
+//
+// HOWTO:
+//   To use this file, the login-server, char-server and map-server must be on the same subnetwork
+//     (not necessary on the same computer). You can not use eAthena if you want to install the servers on 2 or more different LAN.
+//
+//   First of all: you must configure your router to forward your WAN IP (one or more) and port (default: 6900, 6121 and 5121)
+//     to the right concerned computer(s) (if default port, forward 6900 port to the (LAN IP) login-server, 6121 port to the (LAN IP) char-server, etc.).
+//   After, set in char_athena.conf and map_athena.conf files the WAN IP and the right ports that you use.
+//   Give to WAN people (client that are not on your LAN) your WAN IP to have an access to your server.
+//   At this point, all players outside your LAN can access to your server(s).
+//
+//   Now, you must parameter your LAN for the servers.
+//   Set the LAN IP of the char-server and the map-server in this file (lan_char_ip and lan_map_ip).
+//   Set the definition of your LAN in this file (subnet and subnetmask).
+//   When you load/start login-server and char-server, read what the server displays, and specially the section ---LAN CONFIGURATION---.
+//     If you see a warning or something not good, correct it.
+//   Now LAN client can access to your server.
+//
+//   NB: if you want that nobody of your LAN can access to your server, put 127.0.0.1 in IP and 255.255.255.255 for the mask.
+//       So only the localhost computer would access to your server.
+//   NB2: you can use LAN name if you have some instead of IP and/or mask.
+//   NB3: if you want set your server only for LAN people, set your LAN IP instead of the WAN IP, and set 127.0.0.1/255.255.255.255 for the LAN IP.
+//
+// HOW THAT WORKS:
+//   When someone tries to connect to your server(s), the login-server/char-server checks its IP with the LAN subnet (subnet and subnetmask parameters).
+//   If it matches, the login-server sends the LAN IP of the char-server (lan_char_ip); and char-server do same for map-server (lan_map_ip).
+//   If not, the login-server sends the WAN IP of the char-server that it have received (char_ip in char_athena.conf)
+//     and the char-server sends the WAN IP of the map-server that it have received (map_ip in map_athena.conf)
+
+// put here the LAN IP of your char-server
+lan_char_ip: 127.0.0.1
+
+// put here the LAN IP of your map-server
+lan_map_ip: 127.0.0.1
+
+// put here the Subnet mask of your LAN
+subnet: 127.0.0.1
+subnetmask: 255.255.255.255
