You are correct jeardoebj. To run a LAN game, no registration with eqemulator LS is required nor is an outside IP. All that needs to be done is setting all of the IP addresses in the EQEmu_Config.xml and loginserver.ini files to what ever your server's LAN IP is. Ex: 192.168.1.1
As you mentioned though, you must manually add in each new account to the server database AND each account should use a unique IP address because minilogin doesn't track user names and PWs for account verification. You can still multi-box off of 1 IP address and 1 account by simply making multiple characters on the same account as the minilogin server allows you to have multiple connections from the same account running at the same time.
The only issue you will run into is when you log off one account. You will want to log them all of instead of just 1 of them due to the minilogin server swapping your other ingame characters to what ever character you created first. This isn't a huge deal if you are going to log them all off anyway, but if you were wanting to keep playing with just 1 of your characters, you are better off logging them all off then reloading EQ with just the 1 character you still want to play. NOTE: the swapping of characters in game when logging off does NOT effect your items, xps, or anything else.
