Minilogin "Server failed name check"

Jalister · #1 07-01-2003, 12:33 PM

I'm on about my 6th attempt to get EQEmu working. Now I am hung up on the minilogin. I have tried running minilogin on the same computer as world.exe, and on another. As far as I can tell, all my account names and IPs are correct. A search of the forums has not revelealed anything on this error.

New TCP connection: 192.168.0.9:1450
Server failed name check: 192.168.0.9:1450

Thanks,

what dose you miniloginaccounts.ini say?

Jalister · #3 07-01-2003, 04:42 PM

Code:

192.168.0.1 user password

That's it. There wasn't an ini with the minilogin download, so I created one with that line. Not sure if it needs anything else. The IP and the user name and password are correct.

this is is what is should look like
# Max 200 lines total (including comments and blank lines)
# Blank lines may mess up the line # reported in error messages

192.168.2.1 user-name password
192.168.2.2 user-name password
192.168.2.3 user-name password

I might be able to give some help with this. I went through a bit trying to get the whole minilogin to work right since I had multiple users logging in. I'm running the minilogin on the same computer that is running the world and hosting the mysql db.

192.168.0.1 user-name password
I know the ip is the most important part of this problem since that's where I spent most of my time trying to figure it all out. You have to make sure that the ip is the ip of the computer that is connecting to the minilogin. As such, the server is running on 192.168.1.3, but my computer is 192.168.1.6. So my ini looks something like this.
192.168.1.6 u2mad u2mad
192.168.1.100 bob bob
Bob, being another user on the network.

If you don't use the right IP address then it seems like it just uses the first line to log in. Also it is important to make sure that the username and password are correct for the minilogon because it doesn't seem to care about what you type in when you connect.
Following that line, it's good to make sure that the account is created in the mysql database for you to connect to. You can always use the eqadmin tool to add the account. http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/e...7.zip?download
I'm not sure if you need to add the privileges to mysql itself for users to connect, but I assume that you don't.

Tell me if any of that helps or you've already tried that.

Something is wrong with your server name, make sure it's atleast 10 chars long and don't put "server" in it
