are you running your own server or using someone else on the server list to connect with?
sounds like your eqemu_config.xml file has changed or need to fix
the short and long server name example of what i'm using
might have to change ip address. If you have reloaded eq
then you'll need to change the eqhost.txt file
to example 127.0.0.1:5998 what ever you want to use
<?xml version="1.0">
<server>
<world>
<shortname>lmw</shortname>
<longname>Lost My World</longname>
<!-- Only specify these two if you really think you need to. -->
<address>127.0.0.1</address>
<localaddress>127.0.0.1</localaddress>
<!-- Loginserver information. -->
<loginserver>
<host>127.0.0.1</host>
<port>5998</port>
<account></account>
<password></password>
</loginserver>
<!-- Sets the shared key used by zone/launcher to connect to world -->
<key>some long random string</key>
<!-- Enable and set the port for the HTTP service. -->
<http port="9080" enabled="true" mimefile="mime.types" />
</world>
<!-- Database configuration, replaces db.ini. -->
<database>
<host>localhost</host>
<port>3306</port>
<username>*****</username>
<password>*****</password>
<db>peq</db>
</database>
</server>
for loginserver.ini
###Your current configuration is as follows:
loginserver.ini:
[LoginServer]
loginserver=127.0.0.1
loginport=5998
worldname=Lost My World
worldaddress=127.0.0.1
locked=false
account=
password=
[WorldServer]
Defaultstatus=
Unavailzone=
[ChatChannelServer]
worldshortname=
chataddress=
chatport=
[LoginConfig]
ServerMode=Minilogin
ServerPort=5998
if trying to play on your own server
need to start minilogin.exe first
then the world and zone and all need to be allowed to
pass throw firewall .. might check the firewall settings as
well to make sure they are allowed and did you open
port 3306
port 9080
might check windows or linux firewall setting as well might be blocking you
it has nothing to do with isp or provider
and if running your own server and don't want others to hook up to it
then make sure both say miniserver and use 127.0.0.1 then do not use public .
or use the config file for server settings.
and when changing the router settings like you did make sure you plug the cable
from the modem to the first port on router marked #1 and plug your computer into
port #2
-Scrapped the above and set up 2701hg-b in bridge mode (disables routing features and makes it solely a modem) hooked it up to my old linksys BEFW11S4 router and had that do all of my DHCP and NAT stuff. Set up port forwarding for 5998 to my IP on the linksys, still no luck.
