That will change nothing Jezebell. That is only used for minilogin. If he were trying to connect to minilogin not eqemuloginservers then he would either have to change that to 5997 or change his eqhost.txt file to 5999...

[edit] Also you should be able to put localhost or 127.0.0.1 in all instances where you have your IP address in load5zones.bat if you are running world.exe and zone.exe on the same machine... It doesnt have to travel out to the net, then back to your pc to connect.. It only needs to know that it is on the same machine...

You see, the only reference to your outside or external IP address is only needed in world address, to connect to eqemu loginservers (just so it will show up in the list) everything else (provided you are running every aspect of the server on the same machine) is internal or local to you and doesnt even need an internet connection... Try substituting those numbers before you go any deeper, because if that takes care of your problem then all will be well, otherwise you will have to do some tweaking on other issues...

To make it easy to replace the numbers in load5zones.bat just edit it using notepad and press ctrl+h on the keyboard. That will bring up a little pop-up asking what you want to search for. Type in your IP address, then under that it has a line asking what you want to replace with, just type localhost or 127.0.0.1 then hit find next.. after it highlights the first one, just hit replace all, and save the file and close... Your done... :) Hope this helps you.

So you mean change my IP to localhost or 127.0.0.1?

Wow Samandhi, i didn't know that about 127.0.0.1, thats a nice little tip to make it less confusing. Thanks for the tip :)

I made it...I can log into my server...but It wont go past the char select screen...look.

Ok now that you can connect your zone.exe to your world.exe (generalization), you can set your load5zones.bat to look like this:

Code:

REM: ****Read this first!!!****



REM: This file requires your real IP in the place of "YourIP" when you are connecting

REM: To the EQEmu Loginserver.



REM: When you are using minilogin, Replace all IP Addresses to say 127.0.0.1



REM: If you still get errors try using localhost instead of 127.0.0.1



REM:--------------Start-----------------------

@echo off

See what that does for you...
