connection error

[fireclav]

also would you think its possible that the prob could have been that one of the pc's was on wireless. have them hard wired now and going to re do all the stuff. uhh what settings do i ACTULLY need to adjust in my emu and loginserver.ini's to make this connect over network. that i think may be the big question.

[fireclav]

just got everything re installed and waiting for a reply before i go ahead and make any changes to anything. going to leave it completly stock till i hear from someone. i want to know exactly what i need to change in the eqemu and loginserver files to get this to work over the LAN for inside connection purposes only. have router ports opened for 7000-7100, 5999, 9000. all set to go to my server 192.168.1.4. client pc is now 192.168.1.3 since i moved it to hardwired instead of wireless and i have the eqhost file on that computer already set to 192.168.1.4:5999 so when i get this rolling i can test it out thanks again

on top of that question would you recommend isntead of opening ports i use the DMZ option for the server. and also do you see any reason why using the linksys router would be better then a netgear one. i personally like linksys better but i have a netgear one hooked up for now

Seriously, you really should edit your posts if you have something to add. It's starting to get out of hand everytime you want to ask something. That's borderline spamming, man.

Yeah, it's 5999. Forgot to edit the "8" out. Not like it matters since you can just open that port anyway.

loginserver.ini
###Your current configuration is as follows:

loginserver.ini:
[LoginServer]
loginserver=192.168.1.4
loginport=5999
worldname=My Minilogin
worldaddress=192.168.1.4
locked=false
account=
password=

eqemu_config.xml
<?xml version="1.0">
<server>
<world>
<shortname>minilogin</shortname>
<longname>My Minilogin</longname>

<!-- Only specify these two if you really think you need to. -->
<address>127.0.0.1</address>
<localaddress>127.0.0.1</localaddress>



<!-- Loginserver information. -->
<loginserver>
<host>192.168.1.4</host>
<port>5999</port>
<account></account>
<password></password>
</loginserver>

<!-- Sets the shared key used by zone/launcher to connect to world -->
<key>some long random string</key>

<!-- 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>127.0.0.1</host>
<port>3306</port>
<username>eq</username>
<password>eq</password>
<db>eq</db>
</database>
</server>

Try that.

Different routers don't matter as long as it's newer than 4-5 years. The older ones didn't have good NAT forwarding built in. Not to mention the cheaper brands. That's why I asked. Don't ever use DMZ if you don't have to.

hehe sorry about the spamming. going to give this a whirl now and will let you know how it goes hopefully it all works out tahnks again for helping me so much.

ps. should i have the emulator software installed on the client pc with all settings off such as database/quests and all that? and everything looks like once i have this answer should work or at least i hope its showing up as 1 server and listening on that port and through the 192.168.1.4 ip which it wasnt doing before so we should be good i will wait for that answer tho so i dont mess anything up till now


thanks again

Unless you plan on running the EMU from the same PC the client is on, then no. :p

how do i setup the button so that i can run it tried what i thought , start-run, c:\program files\sony\everquest\eqgame.exe patchme but didnt work

nevermind got that figured out.

I can login up to server select and the server shows up. when i click on it i get the 1017 error and it says that it cannot connect. :(


if it matters server side im seeing an error stating Unknown Packet: blah blah [opcode 0x0003 and so on tho i dont think that error matters from what ive read

and as far as open ports i did open 9000, 5999, 7000-7100 and 3306 as i saw that was the database so wasnt sure if that needed opening as well

i do not have any firewall software installed either fyi

[fireclav]

so far i have tried, making my comp DMZ again, tried the no-ip thing and setting it to use my external IP all of which still leaves me with the 1017 error on the client side pc. i can see the server but not login im not sure what else to try here. so close but yet so far away id bet lol. tried changing the router to the linksys one and like you said gave no difference in the outcome. not sure what to try now tried everything so far that i saw on this site. :(

I'm seriously getting stumped. But the 1017 error is usually just a user error somewhere most of the time. Try doing a search for "1017" and you should get a bunch of results. Might want to try this one as well.
