Hey. I have had a lot of fun lately. I tested my private server and it ran great.
My next adventure, if you care to join, is to allow friends in different houses to connect.
In other words. Opening up my personal server to external IP's.
Here is my todo list:
------------------------------------------------------------------
COLLECTION OF IP'S
192.#.#.# private ip
174.#.#.# public ip
default gateway 192.#.#.#
Localhost
127.0.0.1??? Localaddress?

PORTS USED

7000-7800
9000-9100
3306
5998-5999
CHECKLIST
[ ] Make sure it's set to public server in peq database
[ ]Verify firewall has ports open(figure out how to do that)
[ ] figure out how to open router ports correctly
[ ] Figure out which IP address goes where while updating files.
-->Update: login.ini
-->Update: eqemu_config.xml
[ ]Shoot some troubles.

Feel free to shout encouraging things at me. Maybe toss a tip of two. I'll try and keep this updated as I go. More info for others I suppose.
I have no idea what I'm doing, fyi. I'm working off a fresh install with akka's wiki guide.

Private IP = [cmd] C:/Users/JaneDoe>ipconfig = IPv4 address
Public IP = google "What is my ip" = instantly lists your public IP
~~I dont think the default gateway is used in anything. I just figured i would add it to the list anyway
COLOR CODING:
Magenta = Questions I have.
Red = (instructional) IP's that need to be set or rearranged.
Yellow = Ports. Static. Unchanging. These indicate a few of the ports used, and must be opened to external interaction.
