Ok I figured out how to login using the LoginServer. I can access the server on my local machine and on a lan connected computer. But I still can't connect outside of the lan.
eqemu_config.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<server>
<world>
<shortname>Offline</shortname>
<longname>Everquest Offline</longname>
<!-- address has to be specified for minilogin to work -->
<address>192.168.1.100</address>
<localaddress>127.0.0.1</localaddress>
<!-- Loginserver information. -->
<loginserver>
<host>192.168.1.100</host>
<port>5998</port>
<account>Admin</account>
<password>Password</password>
</loginserver>
<!-- Sets the shared key used by zone/launcher to connect to world -->
<key>make up some random string of characters here</key>
<!-- Enable and set the port for the HTTP service -->
<http port="9080" enable="true" mimefile="mime.types"/>
</world>
<!-- Database configuration, replaces db.ini -->
<database>
<host>localhost</host>
<port>3306</port>
<username>xxxx</username>
<password>xxxxxxxx</password>
<db>peq</db>
</database>
</server>
the login.ini is
[database]
host = localhost
port = 3306
db = PEQLoginDB
user = xxxx
password = xxxxxxxx
subsystem = MySQL
[options]
unregistered_allowed = TRUE
reject_duplicate_servers = FALSE
trace = TRUE
world_trace = FALSE
dump_packets_in = FALSE
dump_packets_out = FALSE
listen_port = 5998
local_network = 192.168.1.100
[security]
plugin = EQEmuAuthCrypto
mode = 5
[Titanium]
port = 5998
opcodes = login_opcodes.conf
[SoD]
port = 5999
opcodes = login_opcodes_sod.conf
[schema]
account_table = tblLoginServerAccounts
world_registration_table = tblWorldServerRegistration
world_admin_registration_table = tblServerAdminRegistration
world_server_type_table = tblServerListType
my eqhost.txt points to
xx.x.xx.xxx:5998
xx.x.xx.xxx is the actual ip address of my computer as revealed by a google search.
