Thank you for your advice so far, I have used cavedudes installer and the mysql and active pearl he has said to use, router has been set for port forwarding and i have a stable IP address. Router firewall is also off.
Here is what my config file says:
<?xml version="1.0">
<server>
<world>
<shortname>EQGamers</shortname>
<longname>EQGamers</longname>
<!-- Only specify these two if you really think you need to. -->
<!--<address>EQGamers.dyn-o-saur.com</address>-->
<!--<localaddress>192.168.2.6</localaddress>-->
<!-- Loginserver information. -->
<loginserver>
<host>eqemulator.net</host>
<port>5998</port>
<account></account>
<password></password>
</loginserver>
<!-- Sets the shared key used by zone/launcher to connect to world -->
<key>some long random string</key>
<!-- Sets the ip/port for the tcp connections. Both zones and console (if enabled). Defaults are shown -->
<tcp ip="EQGamers.dyn-o-saur.com" port="9000" telnet="enable"/>
<!-- 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>root</username>
<password>********</password>
<db>peq</db>
</database>
</server>
Everything i have done i have found on these forums and am not at a loss to why my friends outside of my LAN can not connect to the server.
Please let me know if you need any other information to assist you in diagnosing my problem and i will get it for you.
Many thnaks once again
