Default a time out has occured error

Hello everyone, I have looked everywhere I can possibly look for an answer to the problem.

I set up eqemu with minilogin following Techguy's PDF guide. Everything seems to work fine per the guide examples until I start EQ up, enter my UN/PW and click connect. I get a " time out has occured" error. I have checked and rechecked every setting I can possibly think of many many times over. I think I might just go insane.

I have deleted everything (including the EQ client itself) and followed the guide 3 times now,even getting mentoring from Techguy himself. Everytime under any config. I get the same error Has anyone had this problem and corrected it?
For now I am just trying to set up a personal server on the same machine that I'll be playing it on. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hey,

You may have already checked this but I remember having an identical error. I realized that I was using 127.0.0.1 in some of the config files to address the login and world servers. I changed all those to the direct internal ip of my machine (192.168.1.47) and then I had no trouble getting in. Let me know if that helps.

Regards,
Sonic

if you are playing on just one machine as minilogin server, world server, zone server, database, and client, then you should use 127.0.0.1 for everything. Otherwise don't use it for anything.

This may not be any help, as I cant quite troubleshoot this problem at the moment, but for those that care, I am in the midst of trying to emulate the situation for people that are on dial-up. The best way I can think is to disable my NIC and reboot, keeping the computer from grabbing a IP from the router. I am then going to expieremnt with different settings to find the right combination of 127.0.0.1 and/or localhost to make the server run great, and then I will be putting in a suplement section in the guide and updating it for everyone.

It seems that If your are on a router, you will have zero issues witht eh guide, but a couple poeple have brough up questions because they are not on a router and there IP changes constantly. Hopefully I can figure out what is causing this problem adn get a solution for it.

P.S. To t_wfl70, Do you have ANY firewalls running. McAffee, Norton, Windows, AVG, ect.... Make sure they are all turned off. We may have already touched base on this in PM conversations, but just double checking. I have only the Windows Firewall and if its enabled, I time out also under the minilogin.

I have routers with firewalls and windows XP firewalls and I do not experience any timeout issues. The only times I did experience timeouts initially was due to setting incorrect ip addresses in my configuration (the issue of 127.0.0.1 vs a real ip). The timeout was due to the client expecting a response on a certain ip/port combination and the server sending it on a different one.
