Im almost there i can feel it ! - Alittle assistance plz ^_^

[Nall]

Hello all,
as you've heard 1000 times "im new here".. ive been messing with the EQemu
for the last week or so ...played EQ for 5 years back when it first came out.. (god was i addicted) im RIGHT on the edge of having it working.. i just need alittle assistance... if you guys would please..

im prety decent at networking / hardware ect.. but my database skills are just plain bad...


so heres what i have...

2 computers - One's the server.. other is my laptop


Computer1 = Server = Ipaddress: 192.168.9.10
Computer2 = Laptop = Ipadress: 192.168.9.108
(their on the same segment, can ping/connect to each other ect)

i downloaded everything and followed the guide to the LETTER...
http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka.php?wakka=ws992mysql5

i installed Minilogin version 6.2 -- configured it's login ini
(looks like this)

### --- 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.

a slight side note --

when i do login - i noticed any username / password combination works -

so its probally not querying the database ?


(tried using Win CVS and HeidiSQL with not much luck )
again.. im database retarded.. so any assistance would be great..

If you aren't sure if your version is correct, then I am guessing you aren't using a Legal copy of EQ Titanium. If it is a legal copy and you have NOT patched to live on it (at all), then there is no need to worry about the version number as there is only 1 version for a fresh install of Titanium. Illegal copies of EQ are not supported on these forums.

Though, someone else may have a suggestion to help you. I don't run Mini-Login, so my knowledge of how to set it up is very limited.

I did notice that you have configured this section of your config:

<!-- Only specify these two if you really think you need to. -->
<!--<address>192.168.9.10</address>-->
<!--<localaddress>127.0.0.1</localaddress>-->

But, that section will be completely ignored unless you remove the parts commenting it out to look like this:

<!-- Only specify these two if you really think you need to. -->
<address>192.168.9.10</address>
<localaddress>127.0.0.1</localaddress>

Though, I never actually use that part of the config as it is not required (or recommended) for use with public servers. So, you might have that section set incorrectly anyway.

Try changing this
<address>192.168.9.10</address>
<localaddress>127.0.0.1</localaddress>

to this
<address>192.168.9.10</address>
<localaddress>192.168.9.10</localaddress>

Here's all you need active in loginserver.ini;

[LoginServer]
loginserver=blackwater.dynip.com
loginport=5999

[LoginConfig]
ServerMode=MiniLogin
ServerPort=5999

the rest, quote it out
