New Windows Server - zone in issues for client running on server

[Garowen]

Hi All!

I've just delved into the world of EQEMU and am very excitedly working on my own server. I'm trying to resolve a login/zone in issue.

I'm pretty new to authentication, servers/ports ect, but try to muddle through... here is my problem:

I've gotten the server to work for users on my network, but I can't get the client running on my server (main PC) to connect to any zones. I can login and see the characters I created (with other configuration, only the server client can login, no other network PCs).

Your help is most appreciated!!


Here are my files:
eqemu_config.json

{
     "server" : {
          "chatserver" : {
               "host" : "",

If I change the eqemu_config.json:

               },
               "key" : "**",
               "loginserver1" : {
                    "account" : "",
                    "host" : "login.eqemulator.net",
                    "legacy" : "1",
                    "password" : "",
                    "port" : "5998"
               },
               "loginserver2" : {
                    "account" : "",
                    "host" : "127.0.0.1",
                    "password" : "",
                    "port" : "5998"
               },

Then the client on the Server workstation can login, but all the Non-server workstations lose the ability to login to the server.

Remove the "loginserver3" entry..

Set "loginserver2" back to "192.168.1.156".

Change eqhost to "Host=192.168.1.156:5999" (assuming SoD, UF, RoF or RoF2 clients)

Add

"localaddress" : "192.168.1.156",

after the world label..like "address" is here: http://wiki.eqemulator.org/i?M=Pastebin&Paste=FVFBCFyr#

See if that works..

Fixed! You are my Hero! Thank you!

If your host's lan ip assignment is changing when you power down your system, you may consider reserving that ip address in your router by the mac id of your network card.

That will ensure your host system gets the same ip every time.
