server problems

[everquestman]

Hi all! I was trying to bring my server back and I kept getting an error so I changed loginserver.ini to worldserver instead of worldconfig but my server still does not show! I get a tcp could not connect error yet it seems to be connecting =/. How do I fix this? This is the error I get in zone.exe: World server connect: connecting to server failed. Error 10060 initworldserver failed. heres my loginserver.ini file incase it is still messed up: [LoginServer]
loginserver=eqlogin1.eqemu.net
loginserver2=eqlogin2.eqemu.net
loginport=5999
loginport2=5999
worldname=The Ravenmist
locked=false
account=
password=
worldaddress=my real ip is here dont worry

[worldserver]
Defaultstatus=
Unavailzone=
Any suggestions? Thanks very much!!!

Ok now heres my world.exe error:
Error: Loginserver: connect: 'TPC connection: :connect <>: failed error:10061
Thanks all!!!!! A lot of servers seem to be down so maybe if this turns into a good help thread maybe it can be stickied or something? Just a thought!

Ok so it seems I cant connect to the loginserver =/. I have a router but all of the ports needed were forwarded. Any help would be great!!!

1) loginserver might be down

2) you have a firewall or some piece of software/hardware blocking the connection

3) router is messing it up (thay seem to do that alot even if the ports are setup "right").

Hmmm ok it was my router. My friend is really good at routers and I know this is not the place to ask but... What do you do when both of your computers have the same lan ip and you cannot share files anymore? Grrr why do router's take it upon themselves to be a firewall to =/. I already have norton is'nt that enough =/. Anyway thanks shawn and khoung =). Very nice devs here!
