Crap!! So is the patch current at 9/6 too new or too old? I wasn't aware of a patch after 9/6 and before 9/14 and people said to just not update to 9/14. I can log into 5.8s fine just not my 5.7 since I need to use MiniLogin since I'm behind NAT.
|
Too new. 5.8 clients are incompatible with 5.7.

The protocol is the same. The main differences between a login server for 5.7 servers (pre-6/22 client) and login server for 5.7 server (6/22 or later clients) are some OP code changes and crypto on the loginrequest and loginresponse packets. |

5.7-DR6 is compatible with pre-6/22 client 5.8-DR1 is compatible with 6/22-9/13 client 5.8-DR2 (when complete) will be compatible with 9/14 client. Between 5.7-DR6 and 5.8-DR1 (i.e. on 6/22) was when SoE put crypto back in to the login servers. Quote:

Bleh. Looks like I won't be running a server again until Minilogin can get updated then since I just got back into the scene this past week and I'm behind a NAT and can't have both internal and external access to the server with an external login server. Thanks all for the info though.

Bump, as you were posting I was editting my previous message.

Hey doodman, sorry I posted right when you did. I am aware that the NAT problem is unrelated to the incompatibility with my client and 5.7DR6. My problem is the fact that I only have the most recent patch pre-9/14 and that I need to use Minilogin which is only compatible with 5.7DR6, not with 5.8. I'm basically stuck waiting for Minilogin to become compatible with 5.8 or later since I need to be able to connect from both inside and outside my NAT router.

Not true.
You can use an external login server with a server behind a NAT firewall. I do it all the time. |
Care to elaborate? :D I spent waaaay too much time trying to find a way around it so that my internal computer that isn't the server would be forced out of the router and back in so that it appeared as the external address. I tried some advanced routing options with no success as I'm no networking expert and don't know how subnets work, etc. Additional equipment I have at my disposal if needed: a second router and an additional unused PC. Thanks for the help!

You need to do the DNS trick.
So, say the DNS name of your -external- ip is elkay.homeip.net (or whatever your dns name is from your ISP) and your internal IP of your eqemu server is 192.168.1.100. Make sure that LoginServer.ini refers to your external DNS name as well as your boot5zones.bat, etc LoginServer.ini Code:
... Code:
zone.exe . elkay.homeip.net 7001 192.168.1.100 Code:
192.168.1.100 elkay.homeip.net |
Hmm I think I did try just that, but I may have not quite got it right. I'll give it a shot again when I get home. Thanks!

Just tried it. No dice. Settings:
worldaddress=aostang.dyndns.org start zone . aostang.dyndns.org 8780 192.168.1.100 192.168.1.100 aostang.dyndns.org 192.168.1.101 aostang.dyndns.org Tried interchanging and both entries in hosts on each machine and both machines, basically every combination. I'm still getting: Zoneserver SetConnectInfo: 192.168.1.100:4555: aostang.dyndns.org:8780 176219 New client from ip: 192.168.1.101 port: 1076 Bad/expired session key: -1223839326 Removing client from ip:192.168.1.101 port:1076 252141 New client from ip: 192.168.1.101 port: 1089 Bad/expired session key: 1190736499 Removing client from ip:192.168.1.101 port:1089 263375 New client from ip: 192.168.1.101 port: 1092 Bad/expired session key: 188160628 Removing client from ip:192.168.1.101 port:1092 439469 New client from ip: 192.168.1.101 port: 1096 Bad/expired session key: 1098584789 Removing client from ip:192.168.1.101 port:1096 Not sure what to do at this point other than wait for Minilogin to get an update. :( |
Oh, you'll need to pull the new CVS dump (when it gets out) and use the login server at 5994 instead. (see my link posted earlier)
That is the IP/auth work around to the random account bug.. Now that crypto is broken, we don't need it. After that, you'll work okay. |
what about the problem i am having.. can get to server select screen.. then it just puts me back to login.. after i try to enter world.. everything else works fine.. oh and i have the client compatable with 5.7DR6 .. cause i have played on scorps server and I run a test server as well.. so i know im all good there..
