And yet another update after hours of fiddling...
I finally got my world.exe to connect, and my boot5zones.bat to work (yay)
My server even shows up in the server select. Only problem now is that it is locked, and no matter what my loginserver.ini says, it stays locked, and gives me the cold shoulder AKA 1017.
im going to reboot, backtrack, and troubleshoot.
Feel free to post if you think you can help me
Yes, I am behind a router, yes, theports are forwarded, no I do not have windows faeriewall on =)
