This is NOT an error, but could cost you some connectivity later down the road. I suggest you change this:
Quote:
[LoginServer]
loginserver=eqlogin1.eqemulator.net
loginserver2=eqlogin1.eqemulator.net
loginserver3=eqlogin1.eqemulator.net
To this:
Code:
[LoginServer] 
loginserver=eqlogin1.eqemulator.net 
loginserver2=eqlogin2.eqemulator.net 
loginserver3=eqlogin3.eqemulator.net

I would also NOT suggest putting your pc on the DMZ as it opens you up to all sorts of attacks... If it is your ONLY recourse and you dont care much, then you can do it, and all will PROBABLY be well... Alternatively you simply need to configure your routers firewall software to have the ports needed to run a server open.... And you will need to forward your internal IP to your external IP address (only if you are trying to play on EQEMu, if you are playing minilogin you wont need the forwarding part..) What I think most people are getting confused with is, putting your pc on DMZ does NOT forward your internal IP to your external IP (which is needed for having a server show up in EQEMu loginservers, using a router), but DOES open all of your ports so that you dont have to configure a specific port (or several) to allow traffic through those ports for your server (which you is also needed when you have firewall software, and most times is automatically inclusive with a router)....


Sorry, I didint respond back to your question on the other thread, I have been terribly busy in RL crap......:( Hang in there we'll get you fixed up...
