world.exe sending players to null address?

From the machine running the server, I can connect and play just fine. I am using a hamachi network address. Here is what world.exe says when I enter world:

Code:

[Debug] [WORLD__CLIENT] kikinaak: Sending client to zone tutorialb (189:0) at 5.1.205.110:7003



[Debug] [WORLD__CLIENT] kikinaak: Client disconnected (not active in process)

Now, when I attempt to log in from a different machine on the network, I can log in, choose my server, and select a character. But when I go to enter world, I get "the server is not responding" closely followed by "you have been disconnected". This is what it world.exe has to say for itself then:

Code:

[Debug] [WORLD__CLIENT] kikinaak: Sending client to zone tutorialb (189:0) at :7003



[Debug] [WORLD__CLIENT] kikinaak: Client disconnected (not active in process)

When starting the server, I get this from EQEmu Login Server:

Code:

[Network] [03.25.11 - 02:38:05] New world server connection from 5.1.205.110:1571

[Network Error] [03.25.11 - 02:38:05] Handle_NewLSInfo error, remote address was null, defaulting to stream address 5.1.205.110.

[World] [03.25.11 - 02:38:05] Server Veiled Imperium(VITST) successfully logged in.

Clearly the problem is world.exe is sending my remote players a null address, but hell if I can figure out why, or where in the db or an ini I need to set the address manually. Or most confusing of all, why it is sending the correct address when I log in from the server machine and not the others.
Can someone point me at what I'm missing?

I am not sure what needs to be done for it to work with Hamachi, but it definitely is not required like it is for WoW Emus.

It is probably an issue either here:

eqemu_config.xml

Code:

<!-- Only specify these two if you really think you need to. -->

                <!--<address>Serving Machines IP</address>-->

                <!--<localaddress>127.0.0.1</localaddress>-->

Note: You have to uncomment those lines to use them

Or maybe here:

login.ini

Code:

[options]

unregistered_allowed = TRUE

reject_duplicate_servers = FALSE

trace = TRUE

world_trace = FALSE

dump_packets_in = FALSE

dump_packets_out = FALSE

listen_port = 5998

local_network = 192.168.1.

That was indeed what I was overlooking. I had the address set, but forgot to uncomment the setting! :rolleyes:
I'm too used to # and ; and // as comments, I looked right over <! and didnt even think about it!
Much thanks from me and my players, we are up and going now :grin:

As for hamachi not being needed, its not that sony scares me (they do!) its that my ISP has already sent me one nastygram about running servers. So I no longer run anything on my open IP.

Hamachi works fine with eqemu, just set local_network = 5. in login.ini
