I have tried everything, any help would be great

Okies, lets see. I am getting ZONE LOCKED. I have read and spent the last 3 hours fiddling. If I go to whatsmyip.com, I get an IP its static DSL IP. I use a home router with internet IP adress of server at 192.168.2.2.

Right now I am using NAT, with server name as Tazric_World. I have changed that server name a few times but the server selection screen never changes from Tazric_World, im guessing because its in the login server list.

So now I have the following :

Boot5zones.bat

Code:

start zone . tazric.no-ip.org 7995 localhost

start zone . tazric.no-ip.org 7996 localhost

start zone . tazric.no-ip.org 7997 localhost

start zone . tazric.no-ip.org 7998 localhost

start zone . tazric.no-ip.org 7999 localhost

LginServer.ini

Code:



[LoginServer]

loginserver=eqlogin1.eqemulator.net

loginserver2=eqlogin1.eqemulator.net

loginport=5999

loginport2=5999

worldname=Tazric_World

worldaddress=tazric.no-ip.org

locked=false





[WorldServer]

Defaultstatus=

Unavailzone=



[LoginConfig]

ServerMode=Standalone

ServerPort=5999

UplinkAddress=

UplinkPort=

UplinkAccount=

UplinkPassword=

I have tried just about everything and im completely at a loss now, any help would be appreciated. I promise you I have read all the forum posts, even used the server guide to try and no joy :(

Thanks lots,

Taz

A few things...

Have you been through the NAT sticky post here?

Another words, did you open your ports on the router, and forward them to the appropriate machine running EQEMu? You need to have at least ports 7995-7999 forwarded to the machine running EQEMu, as well as port 9000. (I think that's all of them.)

The other thing is I think (at least the modern 5.x servers) use 5997 as the login port, so in loginserver.ini change your relevant part to this:

Code:

[LoginServer]

loginserver=eqlogin1.eqemulator.net        

loginserver2=eqlogin2.eqemulator.net

loginport=5997

loginport2=5997

That's all I've seen so far.

Just for what it's worth, on my setup I am able to just use my external ip address, not the domain name, in loginserver.ini and the startup batch file, seems to work ok.
Also in my setup I use the server machines internal ip address (it's 192.168.xx.xx address) instead of localhost or 127.0.0.1. (Actually, I didn't have much luck with either of them.)

Hope it helps some.
