I guess it's routing issues eh? -- Searched ;)

WTF, stupid no-ip.org needs to move faster to run that through they server I guess...

/flip

[ubatch]

Bah, STILL nothing!! WTH! -- GRRRRRR!!

[cavedude]

The whatismyip.comGoesHere in boot5zones.bat should be replaced by the local IP of the machine running world, not the internet address.

[ubatch]

ROFLMAO...

You guys are silly...

Here's my bootzone.bat

I just put that there so I didn't reveal my IP address, /shrug...

Check this out, is this why? I can't figure out how to remove it if it is...

I installed Apache and PHP stuff a few days ago to try and get a PHP thing working on my computer, I wanted to try to use the server portal or whatever that someone created...

Anyways, so it didnt work, i was lazy and uninstalled it in like 10 minutes after I installed it...

Here's the stuff I get from ipconfig


Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.
C:\Documents and Settings\Mine>ipconfig
Windows IP Configuration

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 70.241.192.157
C:\Documents and Settings\Mine>


I never noticed that domain_not_set.invalid until I installed Apache (it asked me to put in a domain or whatever at setup screen but I just kept that...

SOOOOOOOOO-- Is that the issue?

[ubatch]

WHAT THE HECK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MY IP IS DIFFERENT EVERYWHERE I GO!!

www.whatismyip.com (http://www.whatismyip.com) = 69.150.177.245

and my ipconfig says:

Is your browser using a proxy?

[ubatch]

Tools > Internet Options > Connections tab > LAN Settings...

Nope, no proxy settings.

It think i'm not silly :p I just try to help you !
On my server, right syntax for zoneperl command is :
zoneperl . externalIP PORT internalIP
you make :
zoneperl . castershaven.no-ip.org 7995 69.150.177.245
69.150.177.245 is one of your externalIP (dynamic who change all time, that why you need a No-ip.org adress)
and you need
zoneperl . castershaven.no-ip.org 7995 localhost
or
zoneperl . castershaven.no-ip.org 7995 127.0.0.1
or
zoneperl . castershaven.no-ip.org 7995 70.241.192.158
70.241.192.158 is also your internalIP adress.

With that your zoneperl CAN connect to world :)

I notice a Default Gateway in your ipconfig ? Are you on a network ?

[ubatch]

Not on a network...Its only this one computer im using...

I did localhost instead of 69.150.177.245 and it worked, can other people using EQEMu comment to me? Just wanna make sure...

Also,

I never had this problem before, what I did before was go to www.no-ip.org (http://www.no-ip.org) and change my dns config there (castershaven.no-ip.org) to my current address that was shown on www.whatismyip.com (http://www.whatismyip.com) (which is dynamic - and yes it changed about every week or whenever I restarted)

That seemed to work, up until a few days ago, which again was the day I installed Apache and PHP and uninstalled it almost immediately after, so I was thinking that caused the problem...I DONT KNOW!

-----------------------

As long as
zoneperl . castershaven.no-ip.org 7995 localhost
allows OTHERS to connect to me, i'll leave it that way...

If you can answer that simple question for me, i'll stop pulling my hair out and just do it the easy way :)

Thanks a ton.

[ubatch]

Ok, just tried to connect w/ the localhost on the end of it, and couldnt...FUDGERAMAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ubatch]

Anyone got suggestions? =P

[Belfedia]

A little more question,
You have no message in log from world.exe ?
I notice you don't put the log.
World.exe log finish with a "connected to loginserver: newlogin1.eqemulator.net:5994"
you have that ? if no, try to change in your loginserver.ini
that : loginserver=newlogin1.eqemulator.net

When zone can't connect with world, i see 2 issue :
Bad ip on config files or
Router or firewall problem (you don't change anything ? ) Emu need the 7995 port open for work in your config.

[Damilis]

My thoughts:

I am assuming:
1) You are running server .exe's and client .exe's on same machine
2) based on your IP, your computer is NOT behind a router/firewall and that the IP you have is Dynamicly assigned by your ISP
3) for arguments sake, we will use 78.56.34.12 as 'your' IP

db.ini -> looks good.

loginserver.ini:

### --- This file tells world.exe what loginserver to connect to.
### --- Leave the account and password field BLANK.
### --- Public Login is un-supported as is LAN playing.

And, of course, if it doesn't work, replace localhost with 127.0.0.1. And if that still doesn't work, mind you this is a LAST resort, replace all occurances of localhost or 127.0.0.1 with your external ip 78.56.34.12...... but this will drasticly slow down connect times and may even timeout the client, all depends on your internet connection speed.

[Belfedia]

0.6.0 DR3 need the loginserver port 5994 not 5998, for the rest it is good...

0.6.0 DR3 need the loginserver port 5994 not 5998, for the rest it is good...

Doh! Didnt see the 0.6.0.

Now, replace everything with my current IP (yes it's dynamic) and/or with my DNS (from www.no-ip.com (http://www.no-ip.com)) which is castershaven.no-ip.org.

This has been so stressful....

Trying your suggestions, give me a few minutes.

[ubatch]

Ok, that worked perfect...

Does that allow others to connect to me?

And second, I get a 1017 error...Thought I was there...I swear I havnt had this much trouble in the past JUST CONNECTING!

Here's some reads from world.exe and zone.exe.

Again, so now what? I am getting the 1017 when I try to connect, i'll search and see if I can find anything via forums.

[Belfedia]

This is a router fix for you (i suppose you play on the server machine ?).
if i'm right use this guide : http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka.php?wakka=RouterFix
and you can play on your local computer :)

[ubatch]

That has worked as far as I can tell.Hopefully it wont screw up on me again...Thanks.
