Hello there,

long time admin here, after switching to the json config file, I along with Ladrone, Durinor (around page 14) seem to be stuck with allowing remote login to get past character select.

I can connect to the server without issue while on the same server (I always start my testing that way) as soon as I try with my laptop, from the same subnet, or a different subnet I cannot get past character select.

I suspect an inbound block of port 9000. Even though I can see the rules getting created.
however, this is my eqemu_config.json config

     "server" : {
          "chatserver" : {
               "host" : "",
               "port" : "7500"
          },
          "database" : {
               "db" : "peq",
               "host" : "localhost",
               "password" : "eqemu",
               "port" : "3306",
               "username" : "root"
          },
          "mailserver" : {
               "host" : "",
               "port" : "7500"
          },
          "qsdatabase" : {
               "db" : "peq",
               "host" : "localhost",
               "password" : "eqemu",
               "port" : "3306",
               "username" : "root"
          },
          "webinterface" : {
               "port" : "9081"
          },
          "world" : {
               "http" : {
                    "enabled" : "true",
                    "mimefile" : "mime.types",
                    "port" : "9080"
               },
               "key" : "MuduK65lzq6azJgrsN7kMvEjtAQuxuB",
                    "loginserver" : {
                    "account" : "",
                    "host" : "10.198.16.120",
                    "password" : "",
                    "port" : "5998"
               },
               "longname" : "Orion Everquest Server with PEQ",
               "shortname" : "Orion PEQ",
               "tcp" : {
                    "ip" : "10.198.16.120",
                    "port" : "9001"
               },
               "telnet" : {
                    "enabled" : "true",
                    "ip" : "0.0.0.0",
                    "port" : "9000"
               }
          },
          "zones" : {
               "defaultstatus" : "0",
               "ports" : {
                    "high" : "7400",
                    "low" : "7000"
               }
          }
     }
}

Here's the login.ini

[database]
host = localhost
port = 3306
db = peq
user = root
password = eqemu
subsystem = MySQL

[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 = 10.198.16.120
auto_create_accounts = TRUE

[security]
plugin = EQEmuAuthCrypto
mode = 5

[Titanium]
port = 5998
opcodes = login_opcodes.conf

[SoD]
port = 5999
opcodes = login_opcodes_sod.conf

[schema]
account_table = loginserver_server_accounts
world_registration_table = loginserver_world_server_registration
world_admin_registration_table = loginserver_server_admin_registration
world_server_type_table = loginserver_server_list_type

Eqhosts files are right because I can login on the same box as the server.

If my files are verified to be correct for LAN access (across subnets) I'll start looking into see if the auto firewall rule creation is working right..

This is the one part I always had problems getting right, even in the prior .xml file

thanks
