Cannot connect to server
 

The error i am having is when someone else other than me tries to connect to my public server they get the error "cannot connect to server" after they create a char on the char select screen. this has happened to me on all version of the installer pack and the other versions of the eqemu. heres the specs of what i have setup. keep in mind it does let me in when i log into the game with the server running on the same system.

The current setup is the EQEmuServerPack-3.0 available for download. via this thread http://www.eqemulator.net/forums/showthread.php?t=20314
and this file
http://eqemu.sesmar.net/sp/EQEmuServerPack-3.0.exe

1) i am not using minilogon in anyform, i use the c:\everquest\eqgame.exe patchme command"

2) MySQL 4.0.24 installed

3) Active Perl 5.8.2 installed

4) map files installed

5) no firewall

6) using a dlink wireless router with open ports for the eqemu to use 7000 - 7500, & 9000

7) the database sources without error

Cool i make no changes to the database to see if its something i have changed that caused it but still recieve the error when people connect.

9) system specs are:

windows xp pro SP2
3.0 ghz
1 gig ram
1 80 gig 7200 rpm hd with server installed
1 120 gig 7200 rpm hd with client installed

10) i have a compatible client version and so do the few people i have PMed that i seen log into the server.

this error isnt limited to just one person i see people trying to log into my server and get the same message. i followed the setup of the server pack to the letter but i still get the problem.

any help would be great.

Thanks

Can *you* log into your server from outside your own LAN? Finding that out might help you pinpoint your problem.

outside lan
 

unfortunally no only a friend that has been trying and been telling me errors that they might run into along the way.

zones?
 

It sounds like zones are now booting up. Do you see any zones.exe screen booted? Whats the output of those files also whats the output of the world.exe screen

zones
 

this is the output of the zones file once the world.exe boots up remember this is eqemu for dummies here.
