Bug Report: TCP Timeout to Login Server
 

I've spent probably 25 hours in the last 7 days playing on several different peoples servers, and I see several common issues:

1. disconnection while in game
2. click on server, get to char screen, inability to get into game
3. click on server, get dumped back to server screen.


Focusing on #3, which is happening on my own personal server, sitting 6ft from me..

The error that I get in the world log is thus (sorry, scrolled by, not a direct quote)

"Attempt to login while not connected to login server"

I think 1,2 and 3 might all be releated to the same thing, TCP timeouts to login server.

Here's what I see in the world log, when the server is sitting idle:

However, it's not a Layer2/Layer3 problem IMHO, but higher up... why do I say that?

In my novice opinion, this appears to be a problem with the login server itself. Ideas? Thoughts? Tell me what I'm doing wrong?

I'd be happy to help troubleshoot this in any way that I can.

me too
 

I was also having this problem on my linux build.. are you using windows/nix

That would definitely be me
 

I have this problem whether using nix or windows. World drops me midway. Both my friend and I have the same problem connecting to either eqemu servers or my own and we land up with the ole 1017 grrrr.

#3 MAY be a login server issue, another issue is the can not connect to login server on port 9000 which just rerrunning clears up
