Sorry for the very long post but i wanted to make sure i gave you alot of the helpful info on the first attempt. also not I have tried changing my host file to reflect a DNS name i got from no-ip and modified the eqemu_config file to match like one thread talked about but it still would not allow clients to connect. Thanks in advance for any help.
