Yeah, the ip's match. Cavedude suggested that I un-remark the:




And set the address to my external ip and the local address to the 192.168.X.X ip. The problem for me now is when I do ipconfig it only shows the external ip. All computers on this network cannot connect to the server now. I'm not sure if anyone outside of here can. Sorry for the trouble and thanks alot for the help so far.

Edit: If anyone has a working eqemu_config file they can email me at skizoke@yahoo.com

**** out password of course.

Sounds like your router may be doing something funky. You shouldn't be getting your outside public IP even if you are running a DMZ. I would try turning off the DMZ setup and make sure you are using Port RANGE Forwarding to set port range 7000 to 7500 and port range 9000 to 9000 to point to your server's 192.168.1.X IP address. Make sure you reboot the server so that it is getting a 192.168 address, cause if it isn't then you got another issue on your router with DHCP or something weird.

Skizoke, You said that you are not using minilogin. If not then you don't need to open any ports on your router and all eqhost.txt files should have the line:Host=eqemulator.net:5998. Everyone will need a login on this site and connect to your server publicly. If that is not what you want you need to open the ports on your router and use minilogin. The ip for your server will be the ip for your router, at least as far as players outside your lan are concerned. You will need someway to get the ip address of your friends, use this: http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka...akka=MiniLogin.

I have set up several servers this way, I always wanted just my friends to play on my lan. As it turns out this is an awful lot of work. Just setup the server normally and then lock it. Give your friends enough privileges to sign into the locked server. Much easier and you don't have to worry about modifing the eqhost.txt file all the time or opening the ports on your router.

HTH

If he is using the Public Login Server, then he definitely needs the Port Ranges that I mentioned to be forwarded to his server. It will not work otherwise unless he connect his PC directly to the modem without the router in the middle or unless he sets his server as a DMZ in the router config.

Trevius, I did what you suggested. I don't know if it worked yet, the friend who has been trying to connect is away from keyboard (using IM)

Stlaei, That is correct. I'm not using minilogin and would prefer to keep it a public server at this time. If I don't need to open up any ports why can't anyone outside of my house connect to the server?

Oops, come to think of it I have always setup minilogin first then attempted to setup the public afterward. I guess my ports have already been open. :-)

What server is it, Skizoke? I'll try to login and see what happens.

Here is the way my eqemu_config file currently looks:

<?xml version="1.0">
<server>
<world>
<shortname>Skizoke</shortname>
<longname>Skizoke Test Server</longname>


<address>74.185.XX.XX</address>
<localaddress>192.168.1.68</localaddress>


<loginserver>
<host>eqemulator.net</host>
<port>5998</port>
<account></account>
<password></password>
</loginserver>


<key>some long random string</key>





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


<database>
<host>localhost</host>
<port>3306</port>
<username>root</username>
<password>******</password>
<db>peq</db>
</database>
</server>

Skizoke, This was in my Titanium log file.

Code:

2008-09-30 23:07:33        Networking: Connection Established [1]

2008-09-30 23:08:33        *** WorldAuthenticate.  Error connecting to 74.185.XX.XX:9000 [client:DisconnectReasonConnectFail,server:DisconnectReasonNone]

2008-09-30 23:08:33        

2008-09-30 23:08:33        Networking: Connection Closed [0] with 0 pending bytes.

2008-09-30 23:08:34        *** ERROR: WorldAuthenticate has failed after attempting to connect.

First try commenting these lines in your eqemu_config file:
<address>74.185.XX.XX</address>
<localaddress>192.168.1.68</localaddress>

Second try this, note I don't even have this line in my eqemu_config file:
Try uncommenting this line from your eqemu_config file:

I made the changes, currently looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0">
<server>
<world>
<shortname>Skizoke</shortname>
<longname>Skizoke Test Server</longname>






<loginserver>
<host>eqemulator.net</host>
<port>5998</port>
<account></account>
<password></password>
</loginserver>


<key>some long random string</key>


<tcp ip="localhost" port="9000" telnet="disable"/>


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


<database>
<host>localhost</host>
<port>3306</port>
<username>root</username>
<password>******</password>
<db>peq</db>
</database>
</server>

I don't know how to actually restart the server. I have just been closing the two dos windows. I am just now thinking, maybe changes to my config file are not taking effect if I am not restarting correctly?

Ya, you are restarting it correctly for Windows. It should be taking effect.

Try running an "ipconfig /all" from your command prompt and post that here if you don't mind.

I am still getting the same error when trying to connect. It seems like port 9000 is blocked. Double check all the port openings in your router with what Trevius suggested earlier.

And even though I don't think this has anything to do with it, I'd turn off Hamachi until you get the server working.

Assuming that the ports are open correctly this could be a routing issue, and Hamachi could interfere.

I uninstalled Hamachi and rebooted. I don't even use it anymore.
