1) dont use internal IP numbers. you need to go to www.whatismyip.com and find your real IP, then you need to forword all the ports in your router so it knows which computer to come back to.

Ok. I got the IP from www.whatsmyip.com plugged that in and now I watch my world window and it says at the very last entry
---
Error: LoginServer::Connect: 'TCPConnection::Connect(): connect() failed. Error:
10060'
---
also when I try to login it won't appear on my server list and it did before. Also what do you mean by forward all the ports on my router?

:shock: :shock: :shock: ,

Winsock error 10060 is connection timeout. I would verify that all the ports needing to be opened are opened (or in this case, 5999?).

Well resolved the error I was having above but now it gives me that damn 1017 connection error here are my updated files...

I am not getting any errors within my world.exe or any of my 5 booted zones and there are no problems with my minilogin. So whats going on?

So close,
-Gene

sounds like a NAT issue

Which means I do what?

read the nat sticky maby /shrug

Well I checked out the NAT stickie and downloaded the no-ip thing but does this mean I have to be online for my server to be playable because I do not want that all I want is a server for me and my little brother to play over lan.

:shock: :shock: :shock:,
-Gene

Ok though mabey i would throw my two cps worth into this, I only have one q, in your most recent post i notice that you said this

Is that what your miniloginaccounts.ini file says. I currently have mine set as the following

-------------------------------------------
(Ip #)_username_password_
(Ip #)_username_password_
ect..
-------------------------------------------
Now minus the () marks around your ip and everywhere you see a _ mark make sure there is a space there

Example. Your Ip Address is 111.111.111.111 and your going to be using the username and password of eqemu and eqemu

---------------------------------------------------
111.111.111.111 eqemu eqemu
---------------------------------------------------

there is a space after the last eqemu, simply contiue the process for all the comps that are going to be loging in under your server.
Also i belive that you need to add the accounts under your mysql db.

Here is my post on my personal server that i ran just on my comp, doesnt go across lan, and i do not have a perm internet connection as i am on dial up.

Dont know if this info could help you Gene, as i dont know to much about lan. But i might be misreading your post and putting something up that has completly no relavance to your situation. I have been seeing your post all over the boards and i do wish you the best of luck on getting this going! :D
