Config Issue, need some help :/

[Tamian]

Reread your post - what I responded was incorrect. Your login server is connecting, and you are logging in successfully -- but you said it is not showing you the server?

If you would like, PM me full copy of your eqemu_config.xml, login.ini, and eqhost.txt (from your client). What I also need is IP of router, IP of server, and IP of client. I am asking, as you have an unusual IP shown as the client --- one that makes more sense as a router.

I can do that, the client IP you are seeing is the result of NATing behind a commercial cloud based firewall and router. This is a VM existing in a hyperV cloud, and has a virtualized NAT based public IP.

You are correct, it does login, but the server select screen shows no servers at all. It's is like the login server is running, but the world server isn't registering as an available world for us to select.

I will compile the files you are looking for and PM them. Thank you for your help.

Also, just as an example, after logging in, which does work - this is what I see and hence the problem

First of all, thank you to everyone that helped, and a special thanks to Tamian for really helping me dig in deep and figure this out Thanks.

Root Cause: Ultimately the issue was related to this server being hosted in a cloud, and being behind a routed firewall with a public IP that was then NATed to an internal address on this hosts private network.

FIX:Here is the final eqemu_config.xml that worked: (please note the code in bold and yellow in this file was added at Tamian's recommendation, it was not in the original file that came with the prebuilt server install.)

<?xml version="1.0">
<server>
	<world>
		
		<shortname>CV</shortname>
		<longname>![CV] Crypic Virtue: Luclin</longname>

		<address>10.70.1.10</address>
		<localaddress>10.70.1.10</localaddress>

		<loginserver1>
			<legacy>1</legacy>
			<host>login.eqemulator.net</host>
			<port>5998</port>
			<account>yourWorldServerAccountName</account>
			<password>yourPassword</password>
		</loginserver1>
		<loginserver2>
			<host>127.0.0.1</host>
			<port>5999</port>
			<account>Admin</account>
			<password>yourAdminPassword</password>
		</loginserver2>


		<tcp ip="127.0.0.1" port="9001"/>
		<telnet ip="0.0.0.0" port="9000" enabled="true"/>

		<key>WXhTCfGCjNAW2SwEW0FIiuaNVMhQHHQ</key>

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

	<chatserver>
		<host>10.70.1.10</host>
		<port>7500</port>
	</chatserver>

	<mailserver>
		<host>10.70.1.10</host>
		<port>7500</port>
	</mailserver>

	<zones>
	<defaultstatus>0</defaultstatus>

	<ports low="7000" high="7400"/>
	</zones>

	<database>
	   <host>localhost</host>
	   <port>3306</port>
	   <username>root</username>
	   <password>eqemu</password>
	   <db>peq</db>
	</database>	

	<qsdatabase>
	   <host>localhost</host>
	   <port>3306</port>
	   <username>root</username>
	   <password>eqemu</password>
	   <db>peq</db>
	</qsdatabase>

	<webinterface>
		<port>9081</port>
	</webinterface>

	<launcher>
	</launcher>

	<files>
	</files>
	<directories>
	</directories>
</server>

I also made one small change and corrected the login.ini file entry for the local_network definition to the following to reflect the internal IP for the host:

local_network = 10.70.1.0

After the above changes were made, I started the server using the t_start_server_wlogin script and it worked perfectly!

Thanks again to everyone and Tamian!
