Help With My First Server (Login Issue)

Hello,

I am going to guess I am missing something very simple here but for the life of me can not find the fix.

I used Akkas PEQ Server Installer.

As of right now, my friend (and I am expecting nobody) can log onto my server. I did open up my DMZ yesterday and when it was open he could log in. I did some tweaking and now even if I open up the DMZ, he can not log into the server. I reverted everything back, opened the DMZ and again nothing. So I have screwed something up!

I don't believe I am missing any port ranges. Open are 5998-5999, 7000-7500, 9000-9100, all set to TCP/UDP.

As they stand right now....

My eqemu_config is as follows:

I have tried everything within my limited knowledge and from what posts and information i could find on this topic. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Code:

<address>192.168.0.18</address>

<localaddress>192.168.0.18</localaddress>

Change back to the way it was:

Code:

           <!-- <address>do.not.edit</address> -->

           <!-- <localaddress>do.not.edit</localaddress> -->

If I recall correctly, the IP in a -specified- "<address>" is the one sent to client. The client on anything but your LAN (thus your friend) would then have difficulty reaching the server on a private LAN IP.

I could be off, regardless, the lines shouldn't need defined (hence the comment in the stock eqemu_config.xml file (assuming you used Akka's installation package, which is of course the recommended method).

When I made only that change it didn't correct the problem. I was able to figure out the other issues I was having.

Thanks for taking the time to help out Ghanja.

You're welcome, sorry that didn't help. It's a shot in the dark when attempting to assist over forums, especially a situation like this, which there are normally three factors: port forwarding (firewall applicable like pfSense, etc.), windows firewall (or ufw if linux) or general config. Assuming then it's a connection issue (and not a DB issue, etc, etc.). Just all sorts of things. Glad you got it all worked out though.

having similar issue

i can connect locally but no one from outside my LAN is able to connect, they can see the server but unable to get to character select screen.

how did you fix your issue?

In your login.ini file -

If you have a LAN, (with router and ports forwarded), use this:

local_network = 192.168.0.

If you're not using a lan and it's LOCAL

local_network = 127.0.0.

NOTE: NO LAST NUMBER, (but keep the period)
