Issue logging into Server.

Warking · #1 03-13-2012, 05:53 AM

I built and started the server. Using EQemuloginserver for access. Below are the results from the 3 server start screens.

I followed the underfoot client guide for the missing files. I only had access to UF Steam, SoF, Trilogy, and Live.

I have been playing around with different variations of the IP addresses and DNS name for hours and I get the same result when I run everquest.exe "Could not establish connection. Going from Windows 7 x64 ultimate to a 2008 server running the eqemu server. On the same network segment and no firewall in between this PC and the server. Firewalls on both PC and server are turned off. Pings success.

Is there something wrong with the client maybe? Any way to really check that the client is ok? IE: connect to another server?

I consider myself pretty savvy in regards to networking and servers. Not so much coding. I am at a loss here and not sure what is going on. The server seems to have started ok.

I want to use multiple accounts to multibox so that's why im using eqemulogin server.

Any suggestions will be greatly apretiated. I have pasted output below:

In your login.ini, I notice you have 2 networks both pointing to a specific IP address rather than the network. Not at home to look at mine, but I think you only need to use 192.168.46. (yes, last part blank).

Also, I see that you have ucdatasolutions.com in your emu config. Is that address resolved on the local machines or is your router allowing loopback?

Warking · #3 03-13-2012, 11:14 AM

Thanks joligario for responding. The server sits in my DMZ and has access to two networks. I had two in there to try and get it to access the internal Mgt segment. Makes me wonder about that configuration.

I think i'll take it out of the DMZ and place it on a network that will both talk to my client machine as well as the internet. IE: 192.168.1.0/24, Update firewall.

The domain name is being resolved internally in the host files of each machine. Although, now that I have had some sleep it is used for a number of items so it might be resolving to more that one server internally. Think I'll need to create another domain like a dynamic dns just for EQ and update DNS hostfiles internally to resolve the new dynamic. Router is not allowing loopback.

Think that might work?

Also, if the client is bad in some way what would I see on the screen?

chrsschb · #4 03-13-2012, 11:36 AM

Put it on a network, forward the right ports, and setup a dynamic DNS for your server. Clients on the same network alter their hosts file to resolve the DNS as your internal IP, clients on external networks just use the DNS. It's what I do and it works. It'll also fix issues with the chatserver.

Warking · #5 03-13-2012, 10:09 PM

Ok so I missed a step in the client config:

C:\Everquest\eqgame.exe patchme

I also changed everything to my dynamic DNS

What I am going to do now besides play is type a write up of everything I did. There are so many threads I had to look at to build the server and the guides are all out of date.

sorvani · #6 03-13-2012, 10:43 PM

all threads are always out of date because there is no editing capabliity. the Jan 2011 thread is the best for a windows server but you need to wade through almost every page of replies to find the complete answers.

lerxst2112 · #7 03-14-2012, 12:26 AM

There's a wiki that can be easily edited and kept up to date. Feel free to add a guide there.

sorvani · #8 03-14-2012, 02:15 AM

i took a bunch of screen shots last tie i turned up a server. still haven't posted .. :(

**trevius** · #9 03-14-2012, 02:48 AM

It wouldn't be so complicated if there was only 1 way to build a server. Unfortunately, there are multiple Operating Systems that can run a server such as Windows XP, Vista, 7, Server 2000, 2003, 2008, Home, Professional, Enterprise, etc and various flavors of Linux. None of the setups for those OSs are going to be exactly the same and it would be nearly impossible to keep a current guide for all of them. Not to mention that there are multiple versions of Perl, MySQL, and VS that can be installed which can require different steps. Much of that stuff is constantly evolving, so keeping a current and accurate setup guide is not as easy as it may seem.

Most of the more recent guides are accurate enough to get the information that is needed to get a setup working correctly. The server code itself could probably be rewritten to allow for easier setups and to make it more flexible, but that would probably take a considerable effort and I haven't seen a ton of interest from anyone wanting to do it.

Luckily, every year or 2, someone spends the time needed to write up a new complete guide. Though, if they are not written in the wiki, it makes them much harder to keep updated. Anyone can make their own Wiki account and update/edit the wiki though, and it is a community effort so feel free to work on something if you are interested and time permits
