1017; Correctly Patched & Set Up

[mrea]

Now, to start off, I realize that I must be breaking anywhere from 3-5 commandments by posting this message. However, I did search first.

The error that I am running into is that world doesn't even seem to be getting any information from minilogin or the public eqemu server. When I view the output, nothing displays after the zone connection information.

After this happens, EQ freezes for anywhere from 1-5 minutes and then reports a 1017. My version is reported to be 6.2/6.3 and that would be plausible considering I can play on PEQ and Fibbons:

Version Number: SEQ45867
Extended Version Number: EQ3C903E04AB2F04B577F25EA81E2727A6B8291587

I know that this is an irritating situation for devs and the community as a whole but I would greatly enjoy getting back into EQEmu.

Below are the contents of the files:

Are you by chance useing a linksys router ?
also the 192 address won;t work... I tried them before it has to be 127.0.0.1

[mrea]

Yes, I'm behind a linksys. I forwarded the ports so I don't understand what else is wrong.

the 1017 error comes from improper subnet masks. You will want to be careful of multiple network cards in a single machine. Even though one may be set up properly to connect to EMU, the other could be defaulting the subnet mask to 255.0.0.0. You will be able to check your subnet mask
by going to DOS and typeing ipconfig.

I have a wireless system in my house I have to disable it and then run bootzones then re-enable it after everything loads for it to work properly...
it drives me nuts with my UO server cuz my broadband connection resets everytime we get a bad rainstorm.

my best bet would be changing the LAN ip on your Boot5zones.bat to your IP so it reads

start zone . xx.xx.xxx.xxx 7999 xx.xx.xxx.xxx


most servers seem to run with that set without any problems.....

Good Luck!
