Ok so I clearned all of the port routing settings and im still getting error 10016... Should I reset the whole router? Or does that seem unneeded?

And did you look at my xml configs and make sure all that lined up? Im not sure if it does lol.

----- EDIT ------
Ok and I checked the loginserver to see if its connecting... It is... The worldserver is connecting to the loginserver... Its just locked b/c there are no zone files... And there are no zones connected to the world server b/c of error 10016 which has something to do with the zones not finding the world server or something...

I'm just trying to drill you through all the problems I have had and seen - I'm not using DMZ host on my Linksys , just redirecting ports.
Maybe if you tried the newest binaries from here:
http://www.eqemulator.net/download.php
but you would also need to read the changelogs and source the lines recomended. There are at least three changelogs that have lines to be sourced
The log you attached does not provide enough info.
When you first start up world.exe, does it mention an internet IP as a world address? also the World Zone TCP connections are from your LAN IP and not 127.0.0.1? In fact , in the World.exe window, there should be no mention of "localhost" or "127.0.0.1"

No, actually when I start up worldserver it mentions localhost... This is what it says:

Code:

[Status] Using database 'peq' at localhost:3306

[Status] EMuShareMem loaded

[Status] Loading items from database: count=54535

But thats just talking about the Database right?

Yea, that part is ok, same here. but what about the rest?
Also, it could very well be your LinkSys too. I had something similar happen one time. did you clear port triggering and port range fowarding too?
You might want to try removing the DMZ and go back to the port fowarding again. If you do, look where auto zone port config says; telling zone to to use port xxxx , and direct those ports too.

Here are my problem codes lol. It's a bit repetitive but it should make it easier to have everything right here than scattered across the thread.

eqemu_config.xml

Code:

<?xml version="1.0">

<server>

        <world>

                <shortname>setme</shortname>

                <longname>Blades of Fire</longname>



                <!-- Only specify these two if you really think you need to.  (read: You don't) -->

                <!-- <address>some.server.com</address> -->

                <!-- <localaddress>192.168.0.5</localaddress> -->



                <!-- Loginserver information.  Defaults shown -->

                <loginserver>

                        <host>eqemulator.net</host>

                        <port>5998</port>

                        <account>Bladesoffire</account>

                        <password> {CENSORED} </password>

                </loginserver>



                <!-- Server status.  Default is unlocked -->

                <!--<locked/>-->

                <!-- <unlocked/> -->



                <!-- Sets the ip/port for the tcp connections.  Both zones and console (if enabled).  Defaults are shown -->

                <tcp ip=" {CENSORED} " port="9000" telnet="disable"/>



                <!-- Sets the shared key used by zone/launcher to connect to world -->

                <key> {CENSORED} </key>



                <!-- Enable and set the port for the HTTP service.  Defaults are shown -->

                <http port="9080" enabled="false" mimefile="mime.types" />

        </world>



        <!-- Chatserver (channels) information.  Defaults shown -->

        <chatserver>

                <host>channels.eqemulator.net</host>

                <port>7778</port>

        </chatserver>

About eqemu_config: Should I use no-ip.com if I have a static IP?
When i'm setting up ports in Linksys, do I copy all of the ports from here?

zone log

Code:

---------------------------------------------

[06.26. - 01:00:19] Starting Log: logs/eqemu_debug_0364.log

[06.26. - 01:00:19] [LAUNCHER__INIT] Loading server configuration..

[06.26. - 01:00:20] [NET__WORLD] WorldConnection connect: Connecting to the server {CENSORED} :9000 failed: TCPConnection::Connect(): connect() failed. Error: 10061

[06.26. - 01:00:20] [LAUNCHER__INIT] Starting main loop...

About zone log: Does it look like what I said it was? Does it look like it just can't find the world server? And, does that make sense b/c obviously the login server finds the world server... I dunno. Its just wierd.

Also, when my friend tries to join, it says it looks like its about to let him in the game (the gamma of the monitor changes) but then it kicks him back out... Is that because there are no zone files? And does that mean that he's at least somewhat connecting to the world file?

world.exe

Code:

[Status] Using database 'peq' at localhost:3306

[Status] EMuShareMem loaded

[Status] Loading items from database: count=54535

About world.exe: So my world.exe file is perfectly legit? That sucks, lol. I was hoping something would be wrong with it so I could fix it...

Anyways, i'm about to try to un-dmz the server and route everything directly to it... If that doesn't work, then i'll completely reset the router. && if that doesn't work then im getting a different router... This thing is putting me through too many changes lol.

Ok and I also did as you told me to do as far as changing up some router settings. I disabled DMZ host and I did this:

What do you think? Is that correct? Or am I just too slow to function.

------ EDIT ------
AND I guess it didn't work because the zones are still doing the exact same thing they did before... So that leads me to move on to the next step... Resetting the router completely. Wish me luck. Lol. Im going to need it with this satanic piece of crap.

Code:

<!-- Only specify these two if you really think you need to. (read: You don't) -->

<!-- <address>bladesoffire.no-ip.info</address> -->

<!-- <localaddress>192.168.15.104</localaddress> -->

change to..

Code:

<!-- Only specify these two if you really think you need to. (read: You don't) -->

<address>bladesoffire.no-ip.info</address>

<localaddress>192.168.15.104</localaddress>

I tried doing the nat-fix using no-ip but that obviously didn't work as they still can't connect to my server.

I followed step-by-step instructions that are posted for natfix and for the setup of the 7.0 server on the eqemulator home page... The only difference being that i'm using mysql 4.0.24 instead of 4.0.23 but the database works fine so that shouldn't be a problem right?

Yes, I am behind a router but I am also DMZ host. I have made the forwarding changes needed to my router for 9000, 7000-7999, and 5999. Protocol for the forwarding is UDP...

Anyways, any help would be great.

Thanks,

Part of whats wrong that I can see is that you also need TCP on those ports as well.

And that can only be one if the router allows it right?

Wait... Ok so the router lets me make it both UDP and TCP... Should I do that?

I tried that also... Didn't work.

Thanks for the help everyone. :)

Ok i completely reset the router and it still isn't working...
Also, with the no-ip host, what server type should it be set on?

DNS Host (A)
DNS Host (Round Robin)
DNS Alias (CNAME)
Port 80 Redirect
or
Web Redirect

Thanks!
