# READ README.TXT!

[Database]
host=localhost
user=*****
password=*******
database=eq


### --- This file tells world.exe what computer mySQL is on. Host should
### --- be left "localhost" unless mysql is on a differant computer than world.exe.


****LOGINSERVER*****

### --- 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.

****HOST*******

# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

loginport2=5999
worldname=ickul's

loginserver=eqlogin1.eqemu.net
loginserver2=eqlogin2.eqemu.net
loginport=5999

worldname=ickuls
worldaddress=ickulest.dyndns.info

Move world address under worldname.. Does the loginserver handle ' correctly? Take that out to just in case..

Unless world and zone are running on different machines I always use 127.0.0.1 for the second IP in boot5zones.bat *shrug* what does the world screen say?

are you behind a firewall? all of that looks default.
How are you logging in? On the server or on an outside of network computer? When was the last time you ran the Patcher for EQ? Alot of factors might be responsible...
