You can just set everything to localhost.

[Vinamuss]

ok.. for 1.. why would it matter if i used internal ip or localhost. or 127.0.0.1 , 2 im talkin about another computer trying to log into the server.. the server computer is set to localhost, 3 how in the world does that have anything to do with what i was asking for??

on this computer i went through and did this guide to the T .. everytyhing exact.. yet when i try and login my eqgame.exe crashes.. plz if anybody knows why please help / pyrix/ virus especially considering u guys are smart =P..

my other thing i tryed tho i was talkin about is on my other comp i put in the server's internal ip to try and connect to the server as the eqhost.txt.. can't remember exactly but i think its

[registration servers]
{
"host=internalip:5999"
}

[loginservers]
{
"host=internalip:5999"
}

yes the 5999/port is same as the servers login.ini port is set to.. but when i tryed to login it said connecting to server, and then said could not connect may need to chekc internet connectivity. also if u know anything about problem 2 plz help

[registration servers]
{
"host=internalip:5999"
}

[loginservers]
{
"host=internalip:5999"
}

Completly Wrong!

There are 2 possibilities:

You have Everquest-Europe :

[Login Servers]
{
"eqemulator.net:5995"
}


You have Everquest-Normal:

[Login Servers]
Host=eqemulator.net:5995

I just acquired a copy of the pre-May 18th patch eqmain.dll. I can login to my server and access the accounts w/o issue. When I attempt to create a character, world.exe crashes with "This character is not a valid Guild Wars Character". Is there a workaround for this.

[IAQueiz]

I first start up Minilogin.exe with no problems, then World.exe and then the Boot5zones.bat. All load perfectly with no errors. I changed my eqhost.txt file to match my IP address and port 5999. Also have madesure that the loginserver.ini file is looking for my ip for loginserver on port 5999. However dispite all of these files being double checked and tripple checked. When I got on eq through the patchme method. It gets to the login screen. Enter the password and everything. Then it just sits there and trys to connect to login server. And finally Says it can't connect. Is there a newer version of minilogin to use or am I missing something somewhere? Thanks!

Ok... this is my 3rd minilogin guide i have used. But i still have the same problem... when i run Minilogin.exe it says

[LoginConfig] block not found in LoginServer.ini.
MiniLoginAccounts.ini read.
Server mode: Standalone
Login server listening on port:5999

Thats the only problem i have ever had with this method of playing EMU. And it gets tiresome. Since it says LoginServer.ini... Im guessing the problem is with the loginserver.ini file...

# READ README.TXT
[LoginServer]
loginserver=127.0.0.1
loginport=5999
worldname=Bobs
worldaddress=127.0.0.1
locked=false

[WorldServer]
Defaultstatus=0
Unavailzone=

[LoginConfig]
ServerMode=Standalone
ServerPort=5999
UplinkAddress=
UplinkPort=
UplinkAccount=
UplinkPassword=

[chatchannelserver]
chatserver=127.0.0.1

Thats exactly what it says, nothing was left out. At first i just had

# READ README.TXT
[LoginServer]
loginserver=127.0.0.1
loginport=5999
worldname=Bobs
worldaddress=127.0.0.1
locked=false

in my LoginServer.ini but then i read some extra posts and it showed the ini file with more stuff on there and i tryed adding that to see if it would work... But still i get the

[LoginConfig] block not found in LoginServer.ini.
MiniLoginAccounts.ini read.
Server mode: Standalone
Login server listening on port:5999

Please tell me what im doing wrong

[Derision]

You likely have a space at the end of the line in LoginServer.ini that has [LoginConfig] on it. Delete the space and that error should go away.

[LazerBoy2030]

Wow thank you my good man. that was the problem. at first it didnt work... But then i went and deleted all of the spaces after the brackets...

Thanks a bunch
