"do I need Titanium?"
"can I host a server?"
"ok I have the EQ2 client now what?"

those people need to RTFM before posting, and nothing you say will change that.

As stated above it looks like an issue with the IP you set, post your config files and XXX out any passwords.

Hey, I too am having the same problem as the original poster, with the server select screen not showing up anything once the server is up and running.

It loads all 5 starter zones, shows IP connection in the server/client dos box, but the server select in-game is empty (none).

Using the exact same items as the original poster, here are my config files:

eqhost.txt

[LoginServer]
Host=127.0.0.1:5999

loginserver.ini

###Your current configuration is as follows:

loginserver.ini:
[LoginServer]
loginserver=127.0.0.1
loginport=5999
worldname=EQEmu
worldaddress=127.0.0.1
locked=false
account=
password=

[WorldServer]
Defaultstatus=
Unavailzone=
[ChatChannelServer]

worldshortname=
chataddress=
chatport=

[LoginConfig]
ServerMode=Minilogin
ServerPort=5999

eqemu_config.xml

<?xml version="1.0">
<server>
        <world>
                <shortname>EQEmu</shortname>
                <longname>EQEmulator</longname>
                
                <!-- Sets the shared key used by zone/launcher to connect to world -->
                <key>some long random string</key>
        </world>
</server>

Any help would be appreciated. This is the last hurdle of getting the entire system running.
Thanks ahead of time.

Did you guys forward the right ports for the server by any chance?

[Blacksabbath]

Gosh, now I am going to look completely goofy. I have no idea how to 'forward the ports'.

I've tried changing the server name, and the server abreviation, thinking perhaps that was the problem. Didn't help. I've been searching the forums on and off for hours, trying to find the answer.

I did read that you have to 'register' the server, or you can use the minilogin. We have been trying to do the minilogin. I believe we have it all set up properly. My husband was helping me most of the day, but he has deserted me for the TV. He got frustrated. I'm determined though.

It's so strange. It shows my connection attempt in the dos box. Yet, when I login, it doesn't show anything on the select screen. And there is no hesitation. Strange thing is, I can type in anything in the login and password field and it does the exact same thing. So that makes me think that maybe the client is not seeing the server....instead of there being a issue on the server side.

The way to do a port forwarding depends on the router you are using.

But basicaly you should have a page in your router configuration called NAT or DMZ or NAT/DENAT...

1st put a fixed IP address for the computer hosting the server ie (192.168.1.1)
2nd In the NAT table put the 5999 port as extrenal port and set 192.168.1.1 as local machine and 5999 UDP as internal port.
3rd Same manipulation with TCP... It should do the trick...

OR

Create a firewall rule to let every request between port 5999 and 8000 to come through (Not recommanded).

To set up a minilogin config to start try this.
