My server is named SoD Server:New server and new gm with no experience. It shows up on the server list and I can access it and my wife can access it (were both on the same LAN) but my brother in law on the east coast cannot access it and he keeps getting booted to the login screen. he can log into other servers on the public list.

Is it possible someone can attempt to log in and see if it works for them? The server is nothing special and really just does up to GoD content but with help i hope to get OOW going somehow. Ultimately I will be taking this server private as im moving to a place with no internet access. Any help would be much appriciated.

Thanks in advance,

Most likely a router issue. Either set your router for dmz or set the port forwarding...either way make sure it is targeting your local ip address.

You can set the default status in your eqemu_config.xml to 0
You can also check through the commands table in which you can set a
minimum status to use each gm command. I have all of mine set to 255
except for #bot, I set that to 0 to enable players to create and spawn bots.
You might want to go through the rule_values and look at each of those
settings, as well.

#myskills and #mystats are nice and do not show anything dangerous to the players (in my opinion) so i set those to 0
