I think it has to do with packet routing...

I never got a sticky :/
Hubs dont packet route BS. Thats the thing heh. They just spam it out to everyone, and who ever its for picks it up, the rest ignore it. Hehehe, reminds me of something that happened to me not long ago...
Was at a LAN party, someone had set their Ethernet card to force 100mbit when the hub was only a lowly 10mbit. Major data collisions and the hub practically killed itself and blinded us with its flashing lights hehehe...
Switches and routers send the packets directly to the person whom its for. In order of Uberness:
Router-->Switch-->Hub

Nice guide, worked for me. Didn't take much time at all. Considering how much it would have taken without your guide.

LAN Problem. world.exe fails to connect to database
i got the followin LAN problem on my EQ Server (WINDOWS XP).
When I start World.exe, it says:
LoginServer.ini read.
Failed to connect to database: Error: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'IP ADDRESS OF THE EQ SERVER' (10065)
...
I followed the steps in your LAN Book exactly.
I noticed that in Winmysqladmin -> local IP Address there is my machine name and 127.0.0.1, but not the LAN IP Address of my EQ Server.
May it has nothing to do with EQEMU, but ...
Any suggestions how to correct it?

You might want to try having 127.0.0.1 as the host in your db.ini file.

Error: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'IPADDRESS' (10065)
I got a LAN with 4 PC's, all connected through a HUB.
For test purposes, I installed 1 machine with Win98, 1 with WinME, 1 with WinXP, 1 with Win2000. All PCs have EQ, mysql and EQEMU installed and properly configured for LAN play. So, I just need to edit the eqhosts to select the host machine i want to test.
It seems that MYSQL on Windows XP / ME / 2000, if booted as FIRST PC of a LAN (connected thru a HUB) accepts connections only thru 127.0.0.1. MYSQL on Windows 98 always uses the correct IP Address, even if it is unplugged from the network.
A router sould give less problems than a hub.

Aniel,
From the VERY minimal information you gave, I would guess you didn't follow the loginreadme.txt
With more information I may be able to narrow it down...

Figured this was a good post to put this in...
To get your "internet IP" go to http://whatismyip.com/
To get you computers "lan IP" open a command prompt and run ipconfig
If these numbers don't match, you are using a router, and will need know how to configure it if you want to run a server.

If trying to host a server behind a firewall/router:
1) Set your server up using a name instead of ip number from one of the dynamic domain name resolving services. Like http://www.dyndns.org/ Many are free.
2) Setup your router to "port foward" sometimes known as "virtual server" port 5999 and ports 7990-7995 to your servers Lan ip (run ipconfig to get lan ip) Internet users should now be able to log in. And for some users even the lan clients can log in correctly.
3) If lan clients can't log in, edit your host file for the clients on your network and set the domain name from #1 to resolve to Lan IP of the server.
Inkubus posted a more detailed explination here He used the linux bootzones commands (linux thread), so careful there, but otherwise it looked os independant.
