Angelox's Minilogin Classic Server, and 2 IP's behind router.

[Mahoney]

I can't seem to find an edit button, sorry, but I was in a rush when I made this post. I will go into it with more detail now.

I am trying to play on Angelox's Minilogin Classic Server, which plays fine until my little brother plays with me. This is the only way he can get in with me: I go in the game fully (in-game, freeport), then he logs in and gets in game. Then, the problem is, if I zone, my little brother gets disconnected, and after I zone, I change into his character. I am thinking this will be fixed if I try to log in with a proxy, and I am willing to lose my character just to be able to play with my little brother smoothly. Is this possible?

Thanks in advance,
Mahoney

Are you sure they both have different IP's ? That is exactly what happens when you 2-box using MiniLogin with one IP, and I think some NAT'd setups do the same thing.

Ah, just whatismyip.com'd it, we both have the same ip address according to that site. Is there any way to get past that?

I understand all works well, so long you don't zone - when you zone, you have to register, the name of whoever is zoning before, that sets the database to match the name of the zoner.
Example; charactera loggin in, you set ip to his name at the web log in - then characterb was set and he logged in. So for the effects, the log in thinks only characterb (last one in) is there, and won't see the mistake tell you zone (it crashes).
Try zoning last character that used the web/ipfix then set the ip to the first one before you zone.
We just use that site for working on new stuff, but will keep your characters if you or anyone else is playing. Qadar uses two characters all the time from outside my LAN so you can also ask him, he knows more about it.
But just so you know, game play will be as was in classic, and zones past Kunark are closed.

Thanks for the information, man, and your server is great. Thanks for hosting it

I use two accounts on his server from the same PC, therefore the same IP. The trick is, like Angelox said, to use the web/ipfix to login the character you want to zone. Only the current account logged in is able to zone. I can use both accounts flawlessly like this, up until I forget to go log in the character I am zoning, and find myself back at the character selection screen for the wrong account. Also, the "/who all" command seems to only work for the account thats currently logged in with the web/ipfix login.

What I do is to do is keep the login webpage up in the background, switch to it and log in every time I zone. It was a a minor annoyance at first because I kept forgetting, but I got used to it quickly.

just a thought, for those not running 2 accounts on the same PC...my reasoning here seems sound, and should work...but what about using an IP masking program...such as GhostSurf? That should be enough to make the server think some one is using a different IP while behind a firewall. Unless I am mistaken... ? I've used it before to play some online game with the wife, and we needed IPs that did not match...just a thought
