EQEmulator Forums - Server Unlisted

Hello, everyone.

I apologize if this problem has already been solved recently and understand that these questions get asked a lot, but I have searched around and been trying to get a simple private server up for the last two days.

I've used three different guides with this one getting me the farthest so far. That is, I can execute ServerStart.bat and everything seems to load up fine. After that, I launch EverQuest and login using only my username and any random password (if i've learned correctly, this is because minilogin uses only your username and IP address to determine whether or not to allow you access). Then, the problem: my server isn't listed.

eqemu_config.xml

Code:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<server>

<world>

<shortname>Razor</shortname>

<longname>The Razor's Edge</longname>



<!-- address has to be specified for minilogin to work -->

<address>127.0.0.1</address>

<localaddress>127.0.0.1</localaddress>



<!-- Loginserver information. -->

<loginserver>

<host>127.0.0.1</host>

<port>5998</port>

<account>Kokoji</account>

<password></password>

</loginserver>



<!-- Sets the shared key used by zone/launcher to connect to world -->

<key>make up some random string of characters here</key>



<!-- Enable and set the port for the HTTP service -->

<http port="9080" enable="true" mimefile="mime.types"/>

</world>



<!-- Database configuration, replaces db.ini -->

<database>

<host>localhost</host>

<port>3306</port>

<username>root</username>

<password>**********</password>

<db>PEQ</db>

</database>

</server>

LoginServer.ini

Code:

### --- This file tells world.exe what loginserver to connect to.

### --- Leave the account and password field BLANK.



### --- Public Login is un-supported as is LAN playing. We reccomend using the EQEmu.net Loginserver ALWAYS.



### --- NOTE: Starting 6-1-2002, you can no longer use the word "Server" in worldname.

### --- NOTE2: the word "Server" is added to each server automaticly.

Yes, I have read "### --- Public Login is un-supported as is LAN playing. We reccomend using the EQEmu.net Loginserver ALWAYS.". I've tried both ways with no luck, though I may have entered the data in the wrong place. I am completely new to this and just want some help. This is going to be a completely private, LAN server that only I will be accessing.
