i set up my server using the login server NOT minilogin.
everything is working fine i can log on zone everything is fine. i ask my friend to log on he gets to make a new char then trys and logs on and crashes. he can get on all other servers but mine from the login list.

i don't know what to do im guessing i got to open some ports in the router or something but i don't know what ports if thats even the problem?

any suggestions?

Do you have more than 1 instance of zone.exe open? You'll need more.
It's also a good measure to open ports.

You want to enable port ranges of 3306, 5998, 9000, and 7000-7100.

Ports are 9000 and whatever ports you use for zones, thats it. not sure where your getting the others from.

Okay figured it out, you need to change this IP to your local address, localhost would probably work too.

<!-- Sets the ip/port for the tcp connections. Both zones and console (if enabled). Defaults are shown -->
<tcp ip="localhost" port="9000" telnet="enable"/>

ok so i need to open more then 1 zone.exe (i only had 1 person in at a time but ill do that anyways) and i need to open port 9000 - what 9100 mabie?
my router has setings like this

number | lan ip address | protocol type | lan port | public port | enabled
1 192.168.*.* tcp 9000 91000 yes

should i set it to look like that or do i have to set each port individually?

Yeah, but your public port should be 9000 too.

ok got all that set and still not working.. here is what i got.

port 5998 unlocked
port 9000 unlocked
port 7012 unlocked mabie 7012 - 7050 not sure got priv lan set to 7012 and public set to 7050 im guessing that will open that range not sure..

now ill post my confi file. eqemu_config.xml

Try using this, change the database info to yours. If this doesn't work...

You're in the wrong port settings, you want "port range forwarding", and for zone you want 7000-7100.

well i coped your config. and if still did not work. i guess my router don't do port ranges it seems it only does single ports.
i have the belkin F5D7230-4 v7000 router so unless someone knows how to do ranges i guess im going to have to figer out something else.
