Ipak I just fixed mine and I had your problem. Okay I will paste my stuff so you can look at it.

[Database]
host=localhost
user=xxxxxx
password=xxxxxx
database=eq

[LoginServer]
loginserver=localhost
worldname=Nexius
locked=false
worldaddress=127.0.0.1
account=eqemu
password=eqemu

Your whole issue is linked to the error you get in world.exe when I added eqemu to the username and password field I no longer got the error. It now says loginserver.ini read.

Also make sure your host looks like this.

[Registration Servers]
{
"localhost:5999"
}
[Login Servers]
{
"localhost:5999"
}


When I added 127.0.0.1 in all the local host fields in all of the .ini and eqhost I couldnt see world but I still didnt get the cant read block error. That error was fixed by adding the eqemu password and username in login.ini. When I changed all my 127.0.0.1 back to local host I could see my server.

Good Luck!

Hey Viper I'm glad you got yours to work :-) Its still the same old same old here. I might try a fresh installation later today to try again. I still get the error with eqemu as pass and login.

HEY VIPER :-) I had a instance old the old world.exe running and thats what was screwing it up....now the ini works, but I get another error with world exe that says bad password...Really close now :)

Oh yeah that did the trick :-) I can login, create characters and play.......I need to figure out alot of stuff now in the game.... zoning to new areas and such. This is really cool now :) Thanks Viper

Dammit, i iz just got back from me holiday and i iz gettin this problem too.

I ave got everything right and i am tryin to connect over a network but thee is no server listed dere.

wot iz its problem.

have you tried all of the suggestions from this thread? if so please post your settings from the loginserver.ini and eqhost.txt in a new thread

ok did what viper had and it worked locally thanks !

I had the problem of yer server not showing up in the list, im connecting over a LAN, i played around for ages trying to get it working, i gave up.... then a couple days later i went back to it, didnt change anything and it worked fine and has since, i can only imagine it was restarting the server comouter in the meantime that made it work because i know i had everything set up correctly....... Strange
