strange problem for me...

i have run server on this computer since 5.3 someplace without a problem.

Now upon switching to 5.5dr1 i have world.exe start up fine and is listening properly and zone.exe boots up fine and connects to world.exe but when i log in client i cant see my server on the server select screen?


loginserver.ini =

[LoginServer]
loginserver=eqlogin1.eqemulator.net
loginserver2=eqlogin2.eqemulator.net
loginserver3=eqlogin3.eqemulator.net
loginport=5997
loginport2=5997
loginport3=5997
worldname=ArmsTest
worldaddress=armserver.no-ip.org
locked=false

[WorldServer]
Defaultstatus=0
Unavailzone=

[LoginConfig]
ServerMode=Standalone
ServerPort=5999
UplinkAddress=
UplinkPort=
UplinkAccount=
UplinkPassword=


Im pretty much clueless on what to check next, anyone have any ideas?


Keepin mind im running behind a firewall, yes i opened up all the ports just in case. Im also running a client on different computer behind firewall, and yes i should be setup properly to run this way as i have many times before.

Its not a 1017 error, i just cant see my server on the list at all??


Hmmm , i set it up to run mini-login also, and of course, nothing shows up on server select screen even though world.exe and zones are up just fine...


I did get an error that world name must be 10 chars or longer so i changed that to be ArmsTestWorld, no difference..


K was begining to suspect code so i changed from 5.5dr1 to 5.3dr2 binaries and boom world shows up on select screen....

Update-

Its something in feb 29th source for 5.5dr1 that i downloaded, i set all compile options back to default and recompiled again and same problem thou. Source was shawn319s on feb29th compiled on ms visual net 2003 using slw,sln,vcproj off cvs...

with 5.3dr2 it works fine, and you get connection showing up under netstat, with 5.5dr1 i dont show up and no connect with login under netstat



Ill do a cvs pull down later and try that...
