To get Frostbite to work, without having to use /etc/hosts re-writing, use the following steps:

  1. Run lich.rbw without any arguments (i.e ruby lich.rbw)
  2. When the graphical window pops up, enter your User ID and Password, select "Save this info for quick game entry" and click "Play." The choice of front-end client here doesn't matter -- we just want it to save a profile with your credentials. Quit the graphical window. (Optional: You can run this command again and make sure your profile now appears in the "Saved Entry" tab, if you like.)
  3. Run lich.rbw again in proxy mode, changing <CHARNAME> for the name of your game character: ruby -W0 lich.rbw --dragonrealms --without-frontend --detachable-client=8000 --frostbite --login <CHARNAME>. This should start Lich and get it to listen on TCP port 8000.
  4. Run Frostbite.
  5. In the Connection Wizard, choose the "Any Connect" tab.
  6. Switch the host field to 127.0.0.1 (even if it already says "localhost", or at least, this author had to do this.) Keep "port" as-is (8000), unless you switched the port number above.
  7. Click "Finish" and enjoy Frostbite with Lich!
