In the world address line in the loginserver.ini u need the REAL IP ADDR of the machine with world on it

Ignore anyone that says Windows will work it out .... that is bulldish. If you are on a DHCP network then find out what the iP is and put that in ... and either check every timeu start ur machine .... or get a fixed IP Address in the DHCP range

Default Error 11001

Try this:
1) Open Bootzones5.Win9x.bat with a text editor
2) Change these lines

start zone9x . 127.0.0.1 7995 127.0.0.1
start zone9x . 127.0.0.1 7996 127.0.0.1
start zone9x . 127.0.0.1 7997 127.0.0.1
start zone9x . 127.0.0.1 7998 127.0.0.1
start zone9x . 127.0.0.1 7999 127.0.0.1

to

start zone9x . localhost 7995 localhost
start zone9x . localhost 7996 localhost
start zone9x . localhost 7997 localhost
start zone9x . localhost 7998 localhost
start zone9x . localhost 7999 localhost

Should fix it.

Personally I really don't like using localhost. The OS just resolves it to 127.0.0.1 anyhow... I am not positive, but for windows if you wipe out your host (file without an extension in your windows folder) I think localhost will stop working!

Anyhow, I just prefer using the actual IP addresses, especially if there are any problems.

agreed.
using localhost instead of 127.0.0.1 only introduces another possible point of failure.

REM: When you are using minilogin, leave all IP entrys as 127.0.0.1 and if you still get errors try

I'd much rather use 127.0.0.1 as well.. but it caused the same 11001 error for me.. so ended up using localhost, which is working fine.... for now..

As for using the real ip....I unfortanantly have dynamic dsl so my ip changes everytime....which sucks but hey at least it's still dsl.

Use a free dns service, and run a service that will update your ip in the dns records as it changes, that way you can reference by hostname rather than ip... That way you wont ever have to change your boot files... Works for me, I use www.dhs.org at home..

Ya know there have been lots of people with problems that turn out to be just typos Letter O instead of 0 spaces where they shouldn't be... I think that is the major reason changing 127.0.0.1 to localhost works, they get rid of the typo. Same with a lot of other errors.

So if anyone has problems, but all the configs seem right Then I encourage you to re-type all the settings ( stuff after the = ) replacing everything to the end of the line.
