Server will not support more than one client at a time

[Jolrak]

I have tried this a couple of ways. Currently my server is just connected to a cable modem and is then routing internet to my 2nd computer. My brother is able to connect to my computer through the internet from his seperate connection behind a router, however when he is connected i cannot connect and in the world.exe screen i get a
[Net__error] 192.168.0.5:2715 recieved op_sessionrequest in established state <0>
followed by
[Net__identify] unable to identify stream from 192.168.0.5:2715 before it closed.
Now i only get these errors when my brother is connected and i try to connect from my computer on the same lan as the server. If i am connected first and then he tries to connect no errors show up but the same result is seen on the client end. We both end up getting booted back to the login screen. Game runs fine for one client, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Post your EQEmu server config file and don't forget to remove your password before posting it!

<?xml version="1.0">
<server>
<world>
<shortname>emusp</shortname>
<longname>Questionable Methods</longname>

<!-- Sets the shared key used by zone/launcher to connect to world -->
<key>some long random string</key>

<!-- Enable and set the port for the HTTP service. -->
<http port="9080" enabled="true" mimefile="mime.types" />
</world>

<!-- Database configuration, replaces db.ini. -->
<database>
<host>localhost</host>
<port>3306</port>
<username></username>
<password></password>
<db>peq</db>
</database>
</server>

an update though, i fixed the error message problem. It was unrelated. Still however only one client at a time can connect, reguardless of whether its through the lan or through the internet.

still having problems with this, my server name is questionable methods...if someone would please try and join this it would be much appreciated. i think it must be something simple, my server is running win 2000 pro with no firewall.

I have a similar problem with my setup. If I'm connected to my server (which is on my lan), external people couldn't connect... they got a "unknown error". However if I log off, external people connect just fine and then I can connect as well.

I'm not running any minilogin stuff, just the latest build with the bots enabled and PEQ db. No errors of any kind were in the logs.

I don't know if this is the same issue as you have, but I found that if I only have one dynamic zone running then I can only have one connection and I can't zone to another zone and I can't log in any other accounts.
Make sure you have 5 or 6 dynamic zones running.
