Okay rebooted the machine, rechecked the config files. Also checked DNS information, all seems right. Even deleted and resetup all the router filters for the server. heres hopping.

Nope..I guess Ill try it tomarro sometime..I restarted my server and set my security to low..Its the only thing I can think of..Like I said. I didnt change anything so I dont know why people cant log in.

Well I made a couple of more additions to my router filters and I am testing something with the zones as well. I was running zoneperl.exe I amd running just zone.exe now, forgoing the quests.

Humm yea same here, only thing that I can think of is trying to go back to my old router if this does not work and see what happens, might try that tommorow.

I think I figured my problem out. My Ip address were different from what I had assigned at noip.com.
I didnt install the dynamic IP thingie from noip.com.
Ill have to do that..Its ok if it never gets turned off..

Anyway Im sure my server is fixed..Hope you get yours going..

Well I am now able to login to your server. So I think that your right on that yours is fixed. Now if only I could figure out mine.

OK..(Just got out of bed LOL) So what you are saying is that you can play on your server from your network and zone around to different zones but someone outside your network can only log in to world and not actually get into zone?

How about 5bootzones.bat?
It should say your noip.com name on left hand side and localhost on the other. Are you using noip.com? Cause thats the only way I know that works through a router.
You could maybe post what you have for 5 bootzones.bat. Cause the problem must be a lack of communication to the zone server.

EDIT>>> Well I just tryed to log into your server and no world login at all this time. So whatever you changed in login config is wrong..change it back.
Here...Let me go into next room to my server and I can copy/paste my files to show you. BRB

Crap..I cant even log in to forums right now from the server.
But anyway check this out.
http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka.php?wakka=NatFix
Now way at the bottom is an example of what 1 line of your 5 bootzones.bat should look like.
The login.ini should look like that too but port# should be 5998

I am hosting the server on a sub domain of my own domain. It used to work untill I got my new router. I am figureing it is a setting in there that I have either set wrong or havent set. Looking at the wiki and now looking at mine they are pretty much exact except I call my bat file something else and my zone boot up dynamicaly as players zone and bootup.

*Router Setup*

Ports 5998, 9000, 7000 - 8999 are all being forwarded to an internal machine.

Everything boots up with no errors. DNS is resolving on the internet corectly.

OK..First FYI...Account and password is not used anymore so if its left blank thats OK.

start zoneperl . game.242.ca 8780 game.242.ca

These lines are wrong..The Right hand entry needs to be localhost..Like this

start zoneperl . game.242.ca 8780 localhost

I think it will work then..

EDIT>> Still getting a 1017 here.

I will give it a try but this is the way that the wikki has it

*****from the wiki*****
and your bootzone should look something like this
start zone Halas name.no-ip.org 7977 name.no-ip.org
*****from the wiki*****


now using localhost.

Having trouble logging on
 

I am registered, have done the shortcut, and changed the eqhost file, and i can log in to the server list, but when I choose a server and click Play... I get booted back out to the logon screen. Any Ideas?

When did you last patch?

Its working now..Woot!

I am hopping that this is in refrence to my server. If so then Yes Woot. and Thank you Dr. Z for testing it.

Yep! So I guess we are both OK then..Ill try to play awhile on yours tomarro.
I havent actually seen anyone playing in a zone yet on mine but Im sure that works Ok. It always did before.
