Hi folks.

Hmm, well I'm not really sure what is going on now. I of course had EQ running fine with multiple clients on a private server of my own with the help of a few of you here, but ever since I moved, I don't seem to be able to connect.


I rolled back my computer to a time it was functioning after some auto-Windows updates.

I was able to run the server off this very same laptop and connect just fine even after turning my Wifi off.

As of now, when I open CMD prompt and type ipconfig /all - nothing shows up when I am not connected to the internet. When I am however, I am shown an IP address. Anywho, here's what it looks like.

Windows IP Configuration


Ethernet adapter Ethernet:

   Media State . . . . . . . . . . . : Media disconnected
   Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . :

Ethernet adapter Ethernet 2:

   Media State . . . . . . . . . . . : Media disconnected
   Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . :

Wireless LAN adapter Local Area Connection* 9:

   Media State . . . . . . . . . . . : Media disconnected
   Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . :

Wireless LAN adapter Local Area Connection* 10:

   Media State . . . . . . . . . . . : Media disconnected
   Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . :

Wireless LAN adapter Wi-Fi:

   Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . :
   Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::6955:ab1c:820e:d91e%11
   IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.68
   Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
   Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1

That is when it is connected to the internet here, via my Wifi as you can see. Otherwise, if I am not connected, not even that last part shows up, seems it's off. Though for some reason, I was able to connect just fine previously when turning my Wifi off (I have only ever used Wifi).


Now, the last time people here helped me, here's what my configs looked like and IP addresses used - examples below.

dump_packets_out = FALSE
listen_port = 5998
local_network = 127.0.0.
auto_create_accounts = TRUE

     "server" : {
          "chatserver" : {
               "host" : "10.0.0.100",
               "port" : "7778"
          },
          "database" : {
               "db" : "peq",
               "host" : "127.0.0.1",
               "password" : "eqemu",
               "port" : "3306",
               "username" : "root"

And this is the EQhost file I was using as well.

[LoginServer]
Host=10.0.0.100:5998

Am I correct in assuming, that if I switch out the old IP address from 10.0.0.100 to my new one on my Wireless LAN address of 192.168.1.1 - I then would be able to connect? If so, wouldn't I run into the same issue once I am no longer connected to the internet?


I'm sure this is just a matter of changing some numbers around, but it's weird it was working before and not now.
