Is this Wierd?

[hypershadow66]

If on the loginserver.ini in eqemu folder i put the worldaddress to my external IP everyone but people on my network can login, and i can only login if i put my 192.168.1.100 local IP. how can i make it so i can login if i put my external IP?

There's no need too.

[hypershadow66]

why? i wanna play on the server with other people

You need to use a DNS name for your server, the update your local host file with your internal IP address.

there should be several threads regarding it, especially in the linux forum.

Aye Trumpcard is right (of course!), I just found an old post I made about solving this problem:

http://www.eqemulator.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=15215&postdays=0&postorder=asc&sta rt=7

Ignore the Loginserver= and LoginPort= statements, since that was posted back before the new login server, but the rest is still valid.

so,
Server: nsx.charter-stl.com
Address: 24.217.0.5

Name: fl1-24.217.209.6.charter-stl.com
Address: 24.217.209.6


The fl1-24.217.298.6.charter-stl.com would be it or nsx.charter-stl.com

[hypershadow66]

hmm, it still doesnt work... and i know its not something wrong with the db tho, because i sourced MW_alpha1(blablalongname) and no mobs showed up ever either

[hypershadow66]

although, is something not 100% updated with MW? like ac_updates or the unknown 008?

[hypershadow66]

Ok, i got the AC update on it and it works, but the thing with the people outside of my network cant login still hasnt worked with the DNS name thing, but I dont know if this matters, my computer has a network bride, but my other comp doesnt? is that gunna screw eqemu server running up?

[hypershadow66]

Now everything works! i disconnected my rout and am doing direct Link to Cable modem. Now everyone can login =)

#npcspawn create

this command simply creates a "copy" of whatever npc you had targeted and makes a npctype in the database.

It has nothing to do whatsoever with putting a spawn down. you have to use #npcspawn add to place a spawn point
