zonent.exe error
 

I just got a cable line to my house, and its going through a router to 3 pc's, but it is causing an error in my boot5zones.bat zone file, but when i go direct to the modem it works fine, so im pretty sure its the router causing the problems. It gives me an internet ip and a dns ip but neither seem to work, anyone know what i should do?

this is the zonent.exe with the error, the world.exe is error free.
==============================================
Using database 'eq34' at localhost
Loading zone names, items & NPCs...done.
Spells loaded from 'spdat.eff'.
Loading guild ranks...done.
Loading faction data...done.
WorldServer connect: Connecting to the server failed. Error: 10061
InitWorldServer failed
Entering sleep mode
==============================================

and i am now getting incorrect version with minilogin ?! i have most recent patch i didnt change anything,something is skrewy

Nothing is screwy. you need the latest minilogin.exe from sourceforge. its under the EQEmu release files list (look for Jun1-minilogin)

I thought i had that minilogin, D/Ling the newest one just to be safe..



[EDIT] just checked, minilogin is working, but emu servers still dont =(

Ok i set my router to give me a static IP so that i can do 2 way communications with the internet, ie gaming etc, but for some reason i still get an error in the zonent.exe, the world is booting fine and my server shows up on server select screen. no idea why it isnt working!!

below is world.exe and zonent.exe for the record:
world.exe

[EDIT]: BTW what is error 10061??

check the IP you used in boot5zones.bat Also it seems some routers won't route a request to the external IP back into the lan right. (can't play on your own server, but internet users are ok)

Hmm thats really weird, my server shows up as locked on the server select screen...

Yes thats because no zones are running.

btw, error 10061 is "WorldServer connect: Connecting to the server failed" :)

This means the zones failed to connect. paste your boot5zones.bat file here so we can see what you messed up hehe..

ok heres my boot5zones but i dont think the problem is there... Also, server works fine when i unplug router and go straight to modem

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: zoneNT.exe is for use with Windows NT, 2000 and XP.

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


@echo off
start zoneNT . ***.***.***.*** 7995 ***.***.***.***
start zoneNT . ***.***.***.*** 7996 ***.***.***.***
start zoneNT . ***.***.***.*** 7997 ***.***.***.***
start zoneNT . ***.***.***.*** 7998 ***.***.***.***
start zoneNT . ***.***.***.*** 7999 ***.***.***.***
exit
cls

Big help =P lol. was trying to figure out what IP's you were using. I'm 95% sure your problem is the router. Were you trying to use 192.* in the boot5zones.bat file? if so then you need to your the REAL IP of your computer (not the router/network).

Re: Missing Files
 

Are you sure the error isint saying eq.eqmessages?

Im posative

Well what is the exact error? cant do anything unless you give me what i need to know. read the two posts that are in my sig (at the bottom).

it says
__________________________________________________ __
LoginServer.ini
using database 'eq' at localhost
error in get variable query 'select valuse FROM variables where varname like 'hold zones' ' #1146: Table 'eq.variables' dosnt exist
loading zone names & items... error in LoadZoneNames query SELECT MAX<zoneidnumber> FROM zone #1146 'eq.zones' does not exist.
loading guild ranks... done

no im not usin a 192 network address, it says this is my external network ip, i set my router to do IP passthrough thing so it reroutes stuff going to the ip i select to my pc's network address but that didnt seem to do anything. when i go straight to the modem it works fine....

Routers have been known to cause problems with EQEmu. best bet is to unplug it if you can, or goto a friends house to play :)

Looks like you didnt "source" the database in correctly or not at all.

copy db.sql into your c:\mysql\bin folder, run mysql.exe, type "use eq;" then type "source db.sql;'

Ya I was pretty sure the Router was messing things up, it would cause me problems with public login when those were out but they would work fine on a hub.. ill just disconnect it and go from there
