Unable to connect past character select on LAN

For the past few years, I've been working/playing on a locally hosted server and recently bought a new computer. I figured I could continue running the server on the old machine and play on the new one. I'm able to connect onto the login server, log into character select, but when I try to zone in it hangs for about 30 seconds, then the black "you have been disconnected" screen comes up and it boots me back to Login. I can still log in perfectly fine from the same machine the server is running on.

Here is my config file:

Quote:

<server>
<world>
<shortname>ash</shortname>
<longname>Ashfall</longname>

<loginserver>
<host>192.168.0.106</host>
<port>5998</port>
<account>Ashfall</account>
<password>password</password>
</loginserver>






<tcp ip="127.0.0.1" port="9000" telnet="disable"/>


<key>some long random string</key>


<http port="9080" enabled="false" mimefile="mime.types" />
</world>


<chatserver>
<host>channels.eqemulator.net</host>
<port>7778</port>
</chatserver>


<mailserver>
<host>channels.eqemulator.net</host>
<port>7778</port>
</mailserver>

<zones>
<defaultstatus>20</defaultstatus>


<ports low="7000" high="7100"/>
</zones>


<database>
<host>127.0.0.1</host>
<port>3306</port>
<username>root</username>
<password>password</password>
<db>server</db>
</database>

<qsdatabase>
<host>127.0.0.1</host>
<port>3306</port>
<username>root</username>
<password>password</password>
<db>server</db>
</qsdatabase>

I've forwarded ports 7000-7050 in an effort to get it working but that didn't seem to help. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. :)

So this might be a simple issue but ive got to ask. Did you set your client thats logging into the server to your local ip and not your public ip? It's possible its trying to login over public IP rather than local.

Are you referring to the client's eqhost file? It is set to the local ip (192.168.0.106)

For the sake of troubleshooting. Have you tried temporarily disabling the firewall on the host machine (the one running the server)?

And, Are they are on the same subnet?

I assume that your are running a desktop version of Windows on that computer.

Would you be willing to share your login.ini file?

It's in the same folder as your eqemu_config file. It does include your database password, so mask that off.

I don't have that file, is it for the loginserver? I am actually using image/devnoob's old PrivateLogin server that they released a few years ago.

This guy seems to have had the same issue as me:

He got it fixed on his own but didn't mention how. Arghhh

I'm glad to hear that you were able to figure it out! Nice work!
