This is driving me crazy...emu is working fine internally...

[Xerno]

Alright, I've got everything set up and working fine. The world server, the zone server, the SQL database running locally, blah blah blah.

So here's the catch.

I can get it to run on my local network. What I mean is, I still use eqlogin1.eqemulator.net as my login server, but I set my world address as 192.168.1.101 (the internal IP of the machine I have running the server). Therefore, when I log in and select my server, it will work fine for me, but of course anyone else who tries (unless they happen to have the same thing running I do :P ) it won't work. Of course, I also edit the batch file for boot5zones in the same way.

So!! When I try to friggen open this up to everyone, no one can connect !

That means its gotta be an issue with my router. I am using a Linksys BEFSR81. **I HAVE PORT FORWARDING SET UP**

I have opened and forwarded ports 7990-8000, and port 9000 to 192.168.1.101. I have disabled the WAN request blocker. I have disabled DHCP on my router, and changed my computers so that they acquire static IPs.

I even tried making 192.168.1.101 a DMZ host and it did not work !

Now, I know this is a support forum for EQ EMULATOR, and not my damn LINKSYS router, but I'm really hoping one of you guys out there might give me a little tip to watch out for that maybe I missed when trying to use NAT.

Thank you.
