Same Problem with Vista
Hi Fourier - great Series (maths joke - sorry!)
I've had the same problem with Vista despite following all the guides here in the forums (eg firewalls, port forwards, compatibility modes, 'run as' administrator on both vista clients and servers) etc to no avail. The problem is quite bizarre really. On my Vista laptop I can log into other EQEMU sites from the eqemulator.net login server and if I host the server on my laptop I can log in also. But if my wife tries to log in from her Vista laptop, no joy, similarly if she hosts it she can log in to her own system, but then I can't. I can log in to her server if I use an XP machine which would suggest an XP compatibility issue, but as stated above even if I set my eqgame.exe to run in XP compat mode I have no luck, and the fact that I can log in using Vista client to EQEMU servers other than my own suggests a build issue with my server. I'll try your hack above tonight and see how I go. Am in the process of building a Linux server instead to avoid the problem altogether but am having compile issues with that at the moment. At least I can still play using my XP box in the meantime!
