First of all, thanks for all your help, I can finally log into my own server from the server machine. Now I just need your help to figure out how to log on from a different machine. I tried to log onto another machine on my lan with ip of 192.168.0.3, and it crashes back to login screen like my server machine used to, also sometimes I get the msg that I need to rerun the eq patcher but I'm using the titanium install on my other machine too.

In the server config file, wherever you see 127.0.0.1, replace it with your eq server's IP address (192.168.0.2?). If you look around here a bit, there was another person who was having problems with that and I think that's how that was fixed.

Remember that you have to create a user account (in the accounts table on the database) for the user with a password (EQ don't like when you don't have a password) and the IP address of the client computer specified.

I really wish they'd allow you to have someone connect from anywhere (like entering *.*.*.* or even 192.168.*.*) instead of making you enter the IP. That's a huge pain in the hiney, to have to know the IP address that your computer will *always* be at.

Ok, Thanks I finally got my client to connect, but I'm faced with another problem. I know everyone is getting disconnected on death right now, but whenever I'm logged in on my server computer playing, and I log in with a character on my client, the other computer gets diconnected and when it goes back to the character select it shows the other computers account, not the one I logged in with. This is the same if I log in from the server while the client is in the game. I was able to get in the game at the same time, and I even joined a group with the other character, but as soon as I zoned it disconnected the client.

I have not gotten this far yet...I will try tonight and see if it does the same for me.

I am having similar problems still. When I first try to log into the server, it hangs at the "Logging into the server. Please wait..." screen. I then close EQ and restart, then I can log in just fine.

After that, every time I zone world.exe has to close and it brings up the screen wanting me to "Tell Microsoft." On a couple occasions, when I try to zone, it gives me the message that zone.exe must close.
