As this guide CLEARLY states it is for using Windows 2003 and VS.net 2003. If you are not using those version thing may not work. If you cannot figure out how to set an environmental variable in Windows you probably are not supposed to be getting a -DR and you would be better off with one of the PRECOMPILED releases on Sourceforge.

i have set up mysql to the standers of a guide wich no one seems to say that any part of the guide was wrong and myspl responded the same as what his showed. So im at a loss on what i should do next i mean i know i will have trouble with the client side expesually now that they are updating agian and im really POed about that becuase i couldent connect to any servers besides one that was a really bad server. only pluss to that server was being a GM LOL
but enough small talk i have checked the password's localhost i have tryed 127.0.0.1 and my net ip even my router ip LOL and none of them will let the server talk to mysql does anyone know why or maybe im seting something up wrong if someone could edit a server for me that works on there comp and change the ip's to localhost if there not already set up like that i need to know the problem before i can solve it.
I am experianced in useing other server's like ragnarok online i have there server and helbreaths server aswell both are MMORPG's ragnarok server was extreamly easy to set up but i had some trouble on the client side with helbreath EQ is a little differnt from the two but still a lot a like besides differnt programs helbreath requires no program but ragnarok requires cwgwin to run it. So if anyone can help me out i would be so happy i love eq but haveing my own server to play with has been a dream come true thanx to the devs
