Newbie tryout: No server showup

[linghuUU]

Hi all,

I'm new to EQEmu and I gonna setup my own server and play with my frdz on LAN. I followed strictly the guide written by Techguy84 till Minilogin setup and I cannot achieve the same result as shown in the guide.

I can login but I see nth on the server list.

Here are my configurations.

eqemu_config.xml
<?xml version="1.0">
<server>
<world>
<shortname>cxtestser</shortname>
<longname>linghuchanxin</longname>

<!-- Only specify these two if you really think you need to. -->
<address>158.132.45.134</address>
<localaddress>127.0.0.1</localaddress>

<!-- Loginserver information. -->
<loginserver>
<host>158.132.45.134</host>
<port>5999</port>
<account></account>
<password></password>
</loginserver>

<!-- Sets the shared key used by zone/launcher to connect to world -->
<key>some long random string</key>

<!-- Enable and set the port for the HTTP service. -->
<http port="9080" enabled="true" mimefile="mime.types" />
</world>

<!-- Database configuration, replaces db.ini. -->
<database>
<host>localhost</host>
<port>3306</port>
<username>root</username>
<password>eq</password>
<db>peq</db>
</database>
</server>

get rid of all the external IP numbers and put in 127.0.0.1in their place

[linghuUU]

Still the same thing happened, sir.....

Any other solutions?

when you start up world.exe does your minilogin show one server connected?

First off, thanks for using my guide. Now to your issues,

All the fields where you threw in your External IP (assuming since I never seen a router that puts out 153) need to be change to your local LAN address.

If you recived that IP when you ran IPconfig then you must be on dialup, in which case would completly contradict your "Lan For the Bud's" idea. So I am going to assume that you didnt use IPconfig to get your ip and instead shot for one of the www.whatismyipaddress.com websites. If you are behind a router, your IP should be like 192.168.2.2 or something similar. It should be nearly identical for all the computers on the network, as the only thing that will change is the last digit. This is what needs to go in all those fields, and the ones that refer to Database and to Local Address need to be 127.0.0.1.

Now you could possible be behind a massive network that operates more computers than the typical 2-4 comp home network setup, in example, your trying to do this at work. Businesses using much more sophistcated routers and switchs than that shameful Linksys router you may have. If that is your case, then you may also have your computer connecting to a central server that is policing all network activity and stoping you from "Playing Games" which of course is a bad idea at work.

Well, thats all I got for now, if you dont come back and reply to the thread, congrats on getting it working, or saying F'it and taking a hammer to your computer. Hopefully though, things will work for you, and if not, we can help you get it going so you can spend many a countless hours killing Flippy Darkpaw cause he shouts stupid stuff too much!!! Cheers!
