It's the new windows install. As for the login, it would strictly be private. Would the internal ip work for a private login with WAN users?

New update...

I've managed to work it out so that i can successfully log into the game via LAN. Unfortunately I can't log in when i try to enter the game through the WAN settings from a different network.

ok, here's a scenario.

Bob makes a server, puts it on his LAN. Bob, Lois and Clark share a flat, so they all use the internal IP. Bert and Ernie have a flat upstairs and access Bob's wireless router directly, so they use the internal IP. Thelma and Louise live across town so they have to come in via the internet, so they have to use the external IP. Assuming default ports on the EQ clients and server, port 5999 has to be opened up or forwarded on the router and/or any dsl/cable "modem" that sits between the EQ server and the internet. I forget whether the remote clients need their router ports forwarded too, as it's 2am and I have barely started n my first cup of wake-up juice.

I have the ports forwarded on the router and included both the wan and lan ips for the loginservers in the json file. I'll try to fiddle with it more tonight. The good news is that a lan login can connect so that a victory. Thanks for all the input btw

I do what I can, which ain't much, I am lost here just trying to change the name of my server when logging into the game. And SQL...by Tunare, I haven't used SQL in over 20 years! There was no such thing as MySQL, let alone Heidi, when I last programmed in Oracle SQL+Forms.

Sadly no further luck on the WAN front. LAN is working fine though. Does anyone know what settings I should have in the login and config file for both wan and lan users to play with a private login? I cant figure out what I'm missing

I honestly can't see why that wouldn't work, unless the server is doing some sort of IP tracking and you need to set something in its config file.

I have been fiddling around more and it seems that even though the install adds in port rules and I've added port forwarding to the router, some ports still seem closed. Does anyone know why that might be or what can be done?

The only thing I can think of is very old school, put up a port monitoring utility that tracks every port that an executable tries to communicate on, and run it both during a local attempt at playing to see what works and a remote attempt to see what doesn't.
