Can't log into same computer
 

I'm trying to set up EQEMU and run it on the same computer as I play it on. I read the tutorials and I filled everything as shown and ended up manually putting in all the ip addresses to make double sure everything was right (i.e. replaced localhost and 127.0.0.1 with my static IP.) MiniLogin.exe, World.exe, and Boot5zones.bat are running error free. I run eqgame.exe and it comes up, but once I put in my username and password I get a "server cannot be found" error (still no errors with the emu files.) So I look at my eqhost.txt file and my login server has been changed to Host=xp-smitchell:7308 and everything else is erased. (I rewrote it and tried again to make sure it wasn't just a freak typo or something.) So I tried to make eqhost.txt read-only, but EQ just closes when I put in my id and password. Still no errors with EQEMU files.

This is what my original host file looked like, I also tried the other with 2 fields, I don't recall exactly what the other was, but it gave me the same results. 205.90.2.41 is the IP of the would-be host computer:

[LoginServer]
Host=205.90.2.41:5997

your computer does not have a login server running. You have to point your server to the eqemu login server and then log into the login server normally and select your server. There is vurrently no login server available with the latest patch that you can run on your own computer.
