Trying to get a lan working and almost there, i think
 

Ok been trying to get this lan up and running and so far i think im getting somewhere. The only error i keep getting now is when i try to log in. At the server screen i when i log in, i get Error 1001: EQ server not avialable etc... Here is my setup so far.

I have pc1 that runs minilogin and eqgame.
The loginserver.ini for the minilogin is:

[LoginServer]
loginserver=192.168.1.104 <pc1>
loginport=5999
loginport2=5999
worldname=REVOLUTION
worldaddress=192.168.1.102 <pc2>
locked=false
account=
password=

[WorldServer]
Defaultstatus=0
Unavailzone=

[LoginConfig]
ServerMode=Standalone
ServerPort=5999
UplinkAddress=
UplinkPort=
UplinkAccount=
UplinkPassword=

And the eqhost.txt is:

[Registration Servers]
{
"192.168.1.102:5999"
}
[Login Servers]
{
"192.168.1.102:5999"
}


And on pc 2 i have the MySQL running the eq database, the world.exe, and the boot5zones.bat up.

The loginserver.ini under the eqemu folder is like this:

[LoginServer]
loginserver=192.168.1.104
loginport=5999
worldname=REVOLUTION
worldaddress=192.168.1.102
locked=false
account=
password=

[WorldServer]
Defaultstatus=0
Unavailzone=

[LoginConfig]
ServerMode=Standalone
ServerPort=5999
UplinkAddress=
UplinkPort=
UplinkAccount=
UplinkPassword=


The Boot5zones.bat is like this:

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

if NOT exist spells_us.txt goto NOSPELL

start zone . 127.0.0.1 7995 127.0.0.1
start zone . 127.0.0.1 7996 127.0.0.1
start zone . 127.0.0.1 7997 127.0.0.1
start zone . 127.0.0.1 7998 127.0.0.1
start zone . 127.0.0.1 7999 127.0.0.1
exit
cls

:NOSPELL
echo You did not copy the spells_en.txt from your everquest directory to this one. Please do so or zones will crash on startup.
PAUSE

REM:---------------END------------------------


Then i have the db.ini as this:

[Database]
host=localhost
user=revolt
pasword=*****************
database=eq
compression=off



When i get it all running everything seems fine. Only error i get is taht dang 1001 one upon trying to log in. If anyone sees something i missed or knows what im doing wrong let me know.

your problem comes from minilogin :

http://www.eqemulator.net/forums/vie...ight=minilogin

well, not sure but..
 

since I haven't got my hardware to point of actually doing any of this :? ......

Since minilogon is on same as eqgame wouldn't you want to use loopback ip there? And boot5zones/zone.exe on second, use "real" local ip address?

on PC 1 : minilogin, eq client
on PC 2 : world / mysql / zone

minilogin needs a file containing accounts / clients ip addresses (revolt is missing it)

eq client on pc1 has to be configured to use pc2 as login server.

on PC2, LoginServer.ini points to PC 1 :
[LoginServer]
loginserver=192.168.0.104 (ip of PC1)
loginport=5999
worldname=myname
worldaddress=192.168.0.102 (ip of PC 2)
locked=false

db.ini can use localhost

use PC2 ip address for Boot5zones.bat

start zone . 192.168.0.2 7995 192.168.0.2
...

db.ini
host=192.168.0.2

it may work with localhost but i think it's more simple to use ip addresses, helps to know to what you're trying to connect to.

ok almost there........
 

Ok , i was playing around with all the settings, trying different ip addresses in different spots and i didn't realize it but my eqhost.txt was pointing to the wrong machine. So now i can get into the server choose area. Now my only problem is getting into the server. I get the 1017 error message. Its says i need ot run the patch. Here is what i changed and this is my minilogin.ini

192.168.1.102 eqemu eqemu
192.168.1.104 eqemu eqemu

And my eqhost.txt

[Registration Servers]
{
"192.168.1.102:5999"
}
[Login Servers]
{
"192.168.1.104:5999"
}

I'm not sure about the Registration ip, i have it on 104 before and it still gives me the 1017 error.

I also haven't changed much in my Loginserver.ini files. Im not sure what you meant when you said i need to point my pc.

I going to test around with chaning ip addresses where i can, maybe it will get me running. Thanx ahead of time for all the help since once i get it working ill be playing hehe:)


To addin, i have tried running this with both 5.2 and 5.3-dr2
