You're right, the binaries were created and I was able to run them, but I was having problems with the zones.
After i moved to the linux box, I changd my static NAT translations in my cisco box, and had host entries mapping my public domainname to the internal address of the Linux box.
I saw people connecting to world, and they were able to create characters, but it looked like they disconnected during zone boot up, and I'm assuming they were dumped to the server select screen which is what happens to my client from behind the firewall.
I am at a loss as to what is causing this problem. The only errors I got from the zone servers were some NPC errors, which is what made me suspect these warnings during complie. I guess it was just a fluke that the database warning were in the LoadNPCTypes routine.
So I guess it's back to the drawing board... I've reloaded my linux box, so I guess I'll rebuild my database and bring my server back up. (Evil Petting Zoo) Maybe it is some sort of NAT problem, but since I'm connecting to world the problem is avoiding me... :(
I suppose I can give your NAT patch a shot to see if that fixes the problem. But if it's not a NAT problem I have run into the proverbial brick wall.
