		Loginserver 
 
### --- This file tells world.exe what loginserver to connect to. 
### --- Leave the account and password field BLANK. 
 
### --- Public Login is un-supported as is LAN playing. We reccomend using the EQEmu.net Loginserver ALWAYS. 
 
### --- NOTE: Starting 6-1-2002, you can no longer use the word "Server" in worldname. 
### --- NOTE2: the word "Server" is added to each server automaticly.

REM: ****Read this first!!!**** 
 
REM: This file requires your real IP in the place of "YourIP" when you are connecting 
REM: To the EQEmu Loginserver. 
 
REM: When you are using minilogin, Replace all IP Addresses to say 127.0.0.1 
 
REM: If you still get errors try using localhost instead of 127.0.0.1

last, for clients on your local network (internal ip) you need to edit your hosts file. it can be located in ... on windows 2000 (system drive) winnt\system32\drivers\etc and the file name is hosts 
 
on windows xp it is (system drive) windows\system32\drivers\etc and the file name is hosts 
 
the location of your windows drive can differ depending on what you named it at install  
 
my hosts entry 
 
192.168.123.1 name.no-ip.org 
 
ip address        domain name 
 
so, if you want the name "name.dns2go.com" to be resolved to "192.168.123.1" when typed in thats what you need to do .. on every client computer on your internal network. people with external ip addresses do NOT need to do this 
 
 
 
this is my server config. 
 
name.no-ip.org = external address 
your internal address will be diffrant 
 
goto no-ip.orgregister your own dns ... then make the dns point to your external address 
 
also in loginserver.ini erase  the following (my config has both lines erased already) 
 
account= 
password= 
 
they will mess up your config if you leave em there, on nat configs only 
 
once again for "hosts" file you need  
 
"name.no-ip.org *internal address*  
EX myserver.no-ip.org 192.168.123.1 
 
on all other files name.no-ip.org  will equal your external address 
 
the "hosts" overrides your computer's TCP-ip DNS settings, so for all internal users when "name.no-ip.org" needs to be resolved .. it will not goto your ISP's dns server it will look inside the "hosts" file you made 
 
with this config i can host internal and external users 
 
hope it helps you nat users =)
