Irritating Error

[MysticDeath]

Okay I've installed 6.4 on my machine (lets call it machine "A") and I load up the server with machine A and then play EQ using Machine A too, playing on that server. Then while playing, my little brother tries to log on with his computer (Lets name that machine "B"), and he can't log on, becuase of error "Unknown packet: .4233692". Then I installed the server onto machine "C" and tried playing with the client on machine "C" on machine "C"'s eq server, no problem there. Then once again on machine "D" same error that i recieve in the minilogin from "B" on machine "A". :/

A: Server + Client <-- error pops up in minilogin when machine b logs in
B: Client <--- gets 1017 when trying to log in.
C: Server + Client <-- same as "A"
D: Client <--- same as "B"


both B & D had same version of EQ as A and C does. A and C can run the client and server just fine playing by themselves, but when B and D try logging on, the errors pop up...

have you added the username to the database along with the IP address? minilogin requires these

[MysticDeath]

Yes, i did, no errors at all in the entire installation. Any more questions? I would like to know how to fix this... :(

I'm not a guru at all when it comes to the emu , as I'm still new and learning.
However here's what I'm getting from your posted problem.

A+C are fine when they're running both the server , and client together. Only a problem when B or D try to log in.

eqgame.exe and associated binaries are the same on all machines? I'm taking this as a yes.

What mini-login version are you running? ( Mini-login version 6.2 is compatible with the 0.6.4 database.

Since the problem comes from an error only when logging on from a different computer , perhaps a router / firewall problem ?

I remember seeing posts about 1017 errors , and fixes all through the forums.

Perhaps one of these may help you.

Error 1017 (http://eqemulator.net/forums/showthread.php?t=18901&highlight=Internal+network)

( Edit : Try doing server / client on B + D and see if it works , if it does then it's gotta be something between your machines thats keeping them from connecting properly. just my 2cp. )

Yeah that would make sense, but seeing as it happened at my house on two of my computers, and then the exact same thing at another house with two completely different computers and diff network. eh i guess ill give the firewall thing a shot.

doesnt explain the 4233692 error in minilogin tho

What address are you specifying in your LoginServer.ini for world?

[MysticDeath]

### --- 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. We reccomend using the EQEmu.net Loginserver ALWAYS.

### --- NOTE: Starting 6-1-2002, you can no longer use the word "Server" in worldname.
### --- NOTE2: the word "Server" is added to each server automaticly.

Well, there is your problem:
worldaddress=127.0.0.1

When the client not on the same box as the server try to go from minilogin to world, minilogin is telling them to connect to 127.0.0.1, which is their own machine.

Use your lan address there instead, then you should be fine.
