I have been following mostly this guide (
http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka.php?wakka=ValesEQ), though at some point I have probably read close to a dozen slightly different ones. I finally managed to get a copy of perl 5.10. so I no longer get dll errors when I run the server start bat. However, my loginserver crashes right away. I would really appreciate any assistance offered here. I have spent hours and hours trying to get this to work. I have recently acquired some decommed gear from work. One of the few perks of working in IT. I have a Dell Poweredge 2950 II with Quad Xeon 3.0 , 16 GB of RAM, OS Drive is 4 x 15K SAS drives in RAID 5 and data is a 2TB RAID 1 mirror. The server has redundant power supplies, 10 x GigE nics ( I was going to use it as a massive enterprise vyatta router for fun at one point, then changed my mind--hence 10 Gigabit nics). I have spares of everything in a closet, memory, cpu, power supplies, etc. I would eventually like to make this available to the public, possibly even engage some outside admins if anyone is interested since I don't know what I am doing. I would first like to get it up and running and play with a bit on my LAN and then I can put it out in the DMZ. I don't know that my internet connection can support a public server. I have a 30/1 so the upload is going to be a problem I assume.
Anyway, enough history and intent
Here is what I see in the Windows Event log when the loginserver crashes:
Faulting application name: EQEmuLoginServer.exe, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x4d03c97f

So it's clear that the 10061 on the cannot connect to LS server are to be expected because it crashes as soon as I launch the world, so that makes sense. Now I just need to figure out why the LS exe keeps crashing.
Thanks in advance!
