Players cant connect to my server

stanwalker · #1 03-20-2009, 12:52 AM

Hey all, I have been using these fantastic forums for a week or so setting up my server. I got it running and I can play with my roommate, but friends outside the LAN cant join. My server shows up on the public list but kicks them to server select after they sit at a blank screen for a minute. I found one other post about router forwarding and even enabled the DMZ just to test but nothing worked. I'm on a DI-604 Motorola router and the post I found talked about a Linksys, I'm not real strong with networking so I cant figure out how to open the right ports if thats even my problem. Any help would be appriceated. I have tried changing several things with my config and router but no luck at all :/ Here is my config

<?xml version="1.0">
<server>
<world>
<shortname>devo</shortname>
<longname>Mith Marr FTW</longname>


<address>some.server.com</address>
<localaddress>192.168.0.1</localaddress>


<loginserver>
<host>eqemulator.net</host>
<port>5998</port>
<account></account>
<password></password>
</loginserver>






<tcp ip="localhost" port="9000" telnet="disable"/>


<key>some long random string</key>


<http port="9080" enabled="false" mimefile="mime.types" />
</world>

The FAQ in my sig might be of some help. Basically, it sounds like your issue is that your ports are either not forwarded properly, or you are running some type of firewall that is blocking the connections from the outside. If you setup your server as a DMZ in your router/modem, then it should be working. At that point, the only thing I can really think of that would stop people would be firewalls, including the Windows build-in firewall. Try making sure you have it and any other firewalls disabled. If you run a security suite or something like that, it could be blocking them as well.

Also, after looking at your config, I noticed you have this section uncommented:

Code:

<address>some.server.com</address>
<localaddress>192.168.0.1</localaddress>

That is only to be used it you run a mini-login server. If you are running a server that people connect to from the Public Login Server, then you do not ever want to set those settings. They will always mess up connectivity. Either remove those from your config or comment them out again. There is a reason why it says the following line right before that part of the config:

Code:

<!-- Only specify these two if you really think you need to. (read: You don't) -->

In other words, you don't need to set those 2 and it will cause problems if you do.

Hmm ok, Im still having the same problem, I set up my config properly and made sure all firewalls are off, I opened the DMZ for all ports and people outside my lan still cant join, im at a total loss. I read the FAQ and several posts about this but still no help, any ideas?

Trouble · #4 03-24-2009, 07:42 AM

Hello, i am having the same problem except my other computers on different routers can't connect to my server, only the computer with the server on it can connect to it. I am trying to get it setup to be public so people outside my LAN can connect. I have been working on this for the past month and i can't seem to figure it out, so if anyone knows why or has any suggestions that would be great, thanks in advance.

**trevius** · #5 03-24-2009, 07:29 PM

There aren't too many things that would block outside players from connecting. Make sure you have ports 9000, 7000-7100 and 5998 all Port Range forwarded on your router to point to the server you IP you are running (192.168.1.100 or something like that). The other common reason is if you set this part of the config, which you shouldn't be setting:

Code:

<!-- Only specify these two if you really think you need to. (read: You don't) -->
<address>some.server.com</address>
<localaddress>192.168.0.1</localaddress>

Remove that section of the config from your config file if you aren't sure about how to comment it out. But, to comment it out, you would just need to make sure it looks like this:

Code:

<!-- Only specify these two if you really think you need to. (read: You don't) -->
<!-- <address>some.server.com</address> -->
<!-- <localaddress>192.168.0.1</localaddress> -->

You still might have to specify the addresses above if you have a strange setup, I have my world server behind a firewall then a router so it doesn't detect the appropriate IP's sometimes.

ZombieSoul actually just helped me with this in another thread. In your eqemu_config file, at the top, under longname, add in the address tags like you see here. Then insert your external address. That simply worked for me. Not sure if this is your issue or not, but give it a try.

Code:

<server>
	<world>
		<shortname>servername</shortname>
		<longname>longservername</longname>
		<address>external_ip</address> 

		<loginserver>
			<host>127.0.0.1</host>
			<port>5998</port>
			<account></account>
			<password></password>
		</loginserver>

This is what I am presently using for a couple friends to log in from their homes. As Maze suggested, check open ports.

Code:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

		<loginserver>

In the login.ini (notice the "local_network = 127.0.0.") leaving the period at end. This is what I use.

local_network = 127.0.0.
auto_create_accounts = TRUE

[security]
plugin = EQEmuAuthCrypto

[Titanium]
port = 5998

[SoD]
