btw i remember using your book-epic addon lol.

True, you can only have one account, but as I said, we both log in using eqemu/eqemu (thus the 8 character limit I mentioned). The worldserver apparently doesn't care if the account is already connected to the world, and will allow two people to log in on the same account at the same time (unlike Verant servers).

Is there a way to log some debugging info so I can prove this to all of you? Tell me how to prove it and I will. Or perhaps someone who is/was involved in the coding of minilogin can back me up here?

Also, can I safely post my network IP's and not get hacked for my trouble? I don't know much about what I can safely reveal without putting myself at risk, so I'll have to trust the say-so of the good people of this board. If that'll work, I'll put up a screenshot of minilogin's window showing two different connections (from two different IP's) to prove it. In fact, I just took the screenshot. If it's safe for me to post it, let me know, and I'll do so.

I have tried numerous times to log into the same account and use different characters Shawn, but I always get the 1017 error: cannot login. I'm not sure what the new poster is talking about because I use that identical set-up and NO GO on my Lan....ever. I'm not saying that it's impossible, but like you said....99.999999999% of us have NOT been successful with it. :confused:

Excellent :) Glad to see you hanging out here one-zero. You've created a lot of cool stuff for hackersquest.

As the thread at http://forums.eqemu.net/showthread.p...=5744#post5744 shows, I'm not the only one to get it working in this way.

I'm more than willing to post any additional settings I'm using here. Tell me what you need to know, and I'll check it for you. It does indeed work.

i've used minilogin for multiplay on a lan. no probs. i've also used minilogin over the internet. i've never logged into minilogin using eqemu for user/pass cause it sends that anyway. i use my gotfrags account name, and whatever string of keys i hit on my way to the server select screen. ???
maybe i'm just special.....

and...
in my loginserver.ini my loginserver=my internet ip, as well as my world address=same. people can connect to my login server by my ip address(in eqhost.txt), as well as connect world.exe from other locations to my minilogin and list their servers on minilogin.

/me puts a LAN Tech Support badge on one-zero.. lol

i'll be attempting to set up the lan server real soon, when i get it workin, i'll post my setup and hopefully it'll work for everyone :)

Awesome
 

Great, thanks for the info guys, this should help to get it ll up and running!

I will let you know how it works and if it does, I'll upload my item/npc/quest database that I have been working on for my single player mode of EQEmu.

For anyone who still dosen't have this working, take a look at 1010101's example on page 1 again, and replace all the xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx with your emu servers LAN IP, not 127.0.0.1

This should start with 192.168.xxx.xxx or 10.xxx.xxx.xxx or 1 other I can't remember.

If you were sharing with people on the internet, you would use your WAN IP (internet) This can be a lot harder, and you may not be able to log on locally... Not really recomended.

Also, look at http://forums.eqemu.net/showthread.p...;threadid=1083 for a possible problem area, though as I said on that thread, it may be a non-issue.

Havent read the second page yet (hit reply on first page) but EQemu does work over a LAN with more than one user.

I have first hand experience in this. If you need to ask questions about this email me at Bently@Blazemail.com.

All clients are to login using the eqemu/eqemu profile, however I logged in using my Bently/bently profile just to be different.

Its damn great fun playing with friends and whacking mobs down in drawds DB (Nicely done btw, although I am not totally happy with the drop tables).

LAN servers MUST have their internal network IP instead of their computers internal IP address (which is just a loop).

Examples, assuming you have a windows based network. If you ICS (Internet connection sharing) installed, IP addresses will be configured as shown below.

Gateway = 192.168.0.1
Client 1 = 192.168.0.2
Client 2 = 192.168.0.3
etc.

LoginServer.ini (my settings, IP is not accessable from the outside)
************************************************
[LoginServer]
loginserver=192.168.0.133
worldname=Bently's Warzone
locked=false

worldaddress=192.168.0.133
loginport=5999
************************************************

# READ README.TXT!

[Database]

}
************************************************

My zone .bat file (for 1 to 2 clients, add more entries as needed)
************************************************
@echo off
start zone9x freporte 192.168.0.133 9001 192.168.0.133
start zone9x qeynos 192.168.0.133 9002 192.168.0.133
exit
cls
************************************************

ALSO
Here is a handy .bat file, run it from your emu directory. You cna also make a shortcut to it.
************************************************
@echo off
start MiniLogin.exe
start World.exe
start ZoneBoot.bat
exit
cls
************************************************

*EDIT*
Ok, I read page 2 lol.

DO and DONOT's

192.168.0.x Is a generic IP address that MANY people use for home networks. A Subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 is common also. This is what I consider a secure network, giving this out means nothing as hundreds of people use the same numbers. The ONLY address in my case I should worry about is my gateways INTERNET IP ADDRESS, as this one is most definatly open to others.

In some networks people use 90.0.0.x etc but really it does not matter, as long as its for your INTERNAL IP ADDRESS and not your INTERNET IP ADDRESS.

INTERNAL = Safe to mouth off about.
INTERNET = Not safe to mouth off about.

If you use a modem (standard 56k) then everytime you dial up, your internet provider assigns a TOTALLY different IP address to you in more cases than not.

However, ADSL and other fixed connection lines use a PERMENANT IP address. In this case you should never randomly give out your INTERNET IP to others. Only good RL friends ;P.

In my experience, using 192.168.0.x with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 along with a gateway computer running ICS is the easiest way to go. Be aware however, with connections like ADSL, your provider may charge additional fees for extra users.

Replace ADSL with Cable or whatever broadband service you use if you like, makes no diff.

Works!
 

Spent all last night playing with eqemu over a LAN and finally got it working.. works great for me..
