Need a little help

[jsutton93]

I'm running Windows 2000 pro, trying to run a 0.5 server. I have cable modem going into a Linksys Router.

I'm trying to start the server, then on the same PC connect to it and run EQ.

I have all the steps complete to make everything work. The only problem I am having is my server name doesnt show up in the server selection screen.

I run EQW (Start everquest) sign on, and when I get to the server select screen, there is nothing there.

-------------
eqhost.txt
-------------

Tried using localhost, also tried my IP address (which MySQL shows, local IP address 192.168.1.100).

[Registration Servers]
{
"localhost:5999"
}
[Login Servers]
{
"localhost:5999"
}

--------------------
Boot5Zones.bat
--------------------
start zone . 127.0.0.1 7995 127.0.0.1
start zone . 127.0.0.1 7996 127.0.0.1
start zone . 127.0.0.1 7997 127.0.0.1
start zone . 127.0.0.1 7998 127.0.0.1
start zone . 127.0.0.1 7999 127.0.0.1
exit
cls

-------------------
LoginServer.ini
-------------------
[LoginServer]
loginserver=eqlogin1.eqemu.net
loginserver2=eqlogin2.eqemu.net
loginport=5999
loginport2=5999
worldname=HOMEPC
worldaddress=localhost
locked=false
account=
password=

I'm using HOMEPC as the server name, is this right? I have MySQL running and here is come of the info it shows.

Local Host Name: HOMEPC
Local User Name: Administrator
OS Platform: Windows 2000 Service Pack 4
Local IP Address: 192.168.1.100

Server info: 4.0.14-nt
Host info: localhost via TCP/IP

--------------------------
MiniLoginAccounts.ini
--------------------------
192.168.1.100 eqemu eqemu

-------
db.ini
-------
[Database]
host=localhost
user=jsutton
password=xxxxxxx
database=eq
compression=off


Everything seems to work, no errors except for in World.exe:

Error: LoginServer::Connect: 'TCPConnection::Connect(): connect() failed. Error: 10061

After this error message, i tried to run Boot5zones.bat just to see if I could still load up eq, it does load up fine but like I said... my server isnt listed.

I'm new to this, so any information would help. If you need anymore info from me, I'll be happy to post it.

Thanks!

Looking at this
start zone . 127.0.0.1 7995 127.0.0.1
start zone . 127.0.0.1 7996 127.0.0.1
start zone . 127.0.0.1 7997 127.0.0.1
start zone . 127.0.0.1 7998 127.0.0.1
start zone . 127.0.0.1 7999 127.0.0.1

you should be using minilogin which is unsupported



looking at this

LoginServer]
loginserver=eqlogin1.eqemu.net
loginserver2=eqlogin2.eqemu.net
loginport=5999
loginport2=5999
worldname=HOMEPC
worldaddress=localhost
locked=false
account=
password=


you are trying to connect to the EMU server without using your IP and that wont work.

looking at the issues you are having and the fact that 5.0 is UNSUPPORTED Its my opinion you need to just wait for 5.0 to be released because as stated all over the place its for Developers only.
