And this is my eqconfig

<?xml version="1.0">
<server>
<world>
<shortname>gates</shortname>
<longname>gates</longname>


<address>192.168.0.0.1</address>
<localaddress>127.0.0.1</localaddress>


<loginserver>
<host>eqemulator.net</host>
<port>5998</port>
<account></account>
<password></password>
</loginserver>

 <key>some long random string</key>


<http port="9080" enabled="true" mimefile="mime.types" />
</world>


<database>
<host>localhost</host>
<port>3306</port>
<username>root</username>
<password>******</password>
<db>peq</db>
</database>
</server>

BTW: i tried taking the address and local out but it wouldnt even show on server select. Any help would be awsome.

Remove:


<address>192.168.0.0.1</address>
<localaddress>127.0.0.1</localaddress>

and then you will need to use Port RANGE Forwarding in your router to forward the port range of 7000 to 7100 and also port 9000. And if you want to use the EQEmu Management web utility, you also want to forward port 9080 (you already have it enabled in your config).

You asked in a PM how to set your ports, and I figured I would answer that here, since it is good for anyone else searching for the answer and trying to do the same thing.

The answer isn't exactly a clear one unfortunately. It all depends on what kind of router you have. Some routers are built directly into the modems these days and some are still something you buy separately. If you have a Linksys modem, you can set your port forwarding pretty easily and most routers work in a somewhat similar fashion, but each type is different.

In your URL of your browser, type 192.168.1.1 and hit enter or click go. Then, it should prompt you to log in. You may have to check your router manual for the password, but on Linksys, I think by default username field is left blank and the password is "admin" without the quotes. Log into your router and look for something that says "Port Range Forwarding". You don't want Port Forwarding, or Port Triggering, because those work different than Port Range Forwarding.

Then, you will see some fields to fill out. You can name the first one something like Zone, and then set the first port in the range to 7000 and the second ending port to 7100. Then you will need to put in the 4th octet of your server PC, which should probably be something like 100 if your server IP is 192.168.1.100. Then, you need to do the same thing for 9000, accept you put 9000 in both the starting and ending ports and set them to go to your server IP as well.

That should allow connections to your server from other people who aren't on your network. If you are still having problems, you can look for a setting called DMZ and enable that and set it to the 4th octet of your server. That will definitely let people connect because it opens all ports directly to that PC. But, you only want to set it to DMZ so you can have people test it and make sure they can connect. You don't want to leave it set to DMZ indefinitely for security reasons. Having a fully opened connection like that is asking to be hacked if you leave it like that all of the time.

If you have any other questions about this, let me know. You can probably find all the info you need in your router manual. If you don't have the manual for it anymore, you can most likely find it online.

Hope this helps.
