more info...
ok I'm trying to connect to my own server... one which I create on my system through localhost IP in the login.ini file (is that file name right? I don't remember off hand) and using the MiniLogin.exe prog (the unsupported MiniLogin.exe file that works with version 0.3.0 of the emulator and can be found via a link in the thread in the general EQEMu board). Anyway, I've checked and re-checked and checked again to make sure that I've edited all the files I'm supposed to in order to connect via my own system. I've also tried using "localhost" in place of every "127.0.0.1" in the Boot5Zones.win9x.bat file with no change in the result.
I have played EQLive, and still do on occassion, I have never had this problem with it, also I can get EthernalQuest to work just fine (or rather as well as EthernalQuest works, which isn't very well).
Just in case it will make a difference I'm going to post my entire system specs:
AMD K6-2/300Mhz CPU
512MB RAM (256MB of PC/100 and 256MB of PC/133)
Asus P5A Super 7 Mainboard
IDE 11.5GB Maxtor HDD
32MB nVidia Riva TNT 2 graphics card
Some piece of shit, generic brand single channel sound card that's probably as old as computers
Hayes Dual Mode Universal 56K v.90 modem (not connected to the internet... I'm assuming that to connect to my own computer and use my computer as my own server via MiniLogin.exe that I do not have to be connected to the internet, I see no logical reason why the case would be otherwise, but if it is, let me know)
EQW 2.21 beta
Latest patch (ran patch for EQ last night before I tried to connect to myself to run EQEMu) for Original release, optional zones, Kunark, and SoL (I don't own Velious yet so I don't have that one patched).
Anyway, I have not tried to connect to the public servers via the internet to see if I have the same problem, I will try and do that sometime today or tonight, but I may not have time... If new information comes to light that I think might help you all help me, I'll post it here... if any of you have any other questions, just ask and I'll answer what I can. Also, I realize that the new MiniLogin.exe is not supported, but if anyone has been using it hand has not had similar problems or HAS had similar problems I'd like to know (maybe list your system configuration too).
Thans,
