Can't figure out this zone issue

[Travis]

I launch world.exe and the Boot5zones.bat just fine (no error messages). I log into EQ using EQw, and can see my server on the list (so far so good). I can go to my server, and connect. I can actually create a character. Then it boots me out of the server, and I get the following error on one of the zonent.exe windows:
Connected to worldserver: 192.168.1.5:9000
Entering sleep mode
Map: Mapsfelwitheb.map not found.
Reading zhdr file './cfg/felwitheb.cfg'
Using CFG for safe coords.

Here's my db.ini:
# READ README.TXT!

[Database]
host=localhost
user=****
password=****
database=eq


### --- This file tells world.exe what computer mySQL is on. Host should
### --- be left as localhost unless mysql is
### --- on a differant computer than world.exe.


and my LoginServer.ini:
### --- This file tells world.exe what loginserver to connect to.
### --- do not add an account and password unless a EQEmu Dev member has created an account for you.
### --- adding an account and password only grants the server a green name and is not needed.

# READ README.TXT

[LoginServer]
loginserver=eqlogin.eqemu.net
worldname=My Server
locked=false
account=
password=
worldaddress=chuckles
loginport=5999

I use the hostname, as I have dynamic IP addressing and have read that's a solution. I have tried it as well, using the ip address of the machine at that time. Any ideas?

[meliudaj]

Same exact issue here it seems.

Check the Zone is Unavaliable Thread

worldaddress=chuckles

always use your real IP address in worldaddress and in boot5zones.bat. i dont care if bill gates himself tells you that your dynamic IP addressing works.

[Travis]

Okay, I've changed the boot5zones.bat and the LoginServer to reflect the real ip (192.168.1.5), and am still getting the same issue.

[meliudaj]

Your running the login server right?

If so did you source login.sql to your eq data base or a different one?

I put mine to a different one just so I wasn't over writting what ever catagories that are duplicates in both data bases. It seems cleaner to me yet I get the same problems no matter how I do it.

[Travis]

I'm not running the login server, as it connects to the eqemu.net servers just fine. Do I keep missing a step? I've gone through the readme's a *LOT*.

That is not you IP address lol. your IP address is 12.233.65.168.

[meliudaj]

That IS his ip address if he is doing this with in his LAN using the Login.exe and login.sql (login server)

as to the fact that he is creating a char, it seems that he IS getting logged in fine and is acctually connected to and working with the world.exe (eqemu) at the point of fail.

Am I right in saying it if failing PAST the log in server at this point?

[Travis]

Color me embarrassed. I was using my LAN ip address, not the WAN ip address. Thanks. I was trying to use my internal ip instead of the external.

no, if you happen to have read some of the posts, you would know his setup is
"[LoginServer]
loginserver=eqlogin.eqemu.org "




/me colors travis

[Shawn319]

Not to mention, if i knew he was using login.exe i wouldnt have made a single reply hehe.

[meliudaj]

please don't flame me, I have tried very hard to read it all.

But damn I was under the impression he was doing this all local.

Your right 192.168.0.5 is no way possible to be your REAL ip address.

I'm guessing you have cable/dsl and a local LAN at home?

if so you need to put in the REAL ip address... that being the ip address of you Wan0 port on your cabel modem.

FYI if your running nat on some form of router, there may be more work yet to go do to the fact that the connection is being initiated from the out side to you eqemu. But don't quote me on that

[meliudaj]

LOL nice coloring job!




<---Interested to see if travis is able to connect once going threw the (official) login server now.

[Travis]

I had tried it both ways, but having the WAN ip in there was the solution. I appreciate the quick response. At least I gave some of you a good laugh. LOL. It appears to be working now.
