Thanks Vales, great guide. I followed the guide exactly, except as follows:
Use ActivePerl-5.8.9.826-MSWin32-x86-290470.msi instead of the 5.10xxxx version. The 5.8.8 version will not work either.
Additionally, I changed the eqemu_config.xml as I want this to work on a private LAN without setting up a public IP or port forwarding, etc to allow access from outside. Here is my eqemu_config.xml file, v1. All seems to work for me now. so far...
Code:
<?xml version="1.0">
<server>
<world>
<shortname>Virgilhome</shortname>
<longname>EQ@Virgilhome</longname>
<address>172.16.0.25</address>
<localaddress>172.16.0.25</localaddress>
<loginserver>
<host>172.16.0.25</host>
<port>5998</port>
<account></account>
<password></password>
</loginserver>
<!-- Sets the shared key used by zone/launcher to connect to world -->
<key>putsomethingorotherinhere</key>
</world>
<database>
<host>localhost</host>
<port>3306</port>
<username>root</username>
<password>mypassword</password>

</database>
</server>
