Have you even tried leaving those lines commented out? From what you have said so far, I see absolutely no reason why you would need to use them. I believe they are only for doing some weird IP stuff if you are running multiple zone servers. Like I said, there is almost no chance that you actually need to have those set. And I am almost positive that this setting is what is causing your second PC connection issue.

The only other thing I can think of that would cause an issue like this is if you were using Port Triggering and/or Port Forwarding. You shouldn't use either of those. You need to use Port RANGE Forwarding.

Also remember than any config changes you make require a server restart before they will take effect. I don't know what else to say without more information.

As for mentioning the comments in my previous post, that was mainly directed to erik_llewellyn, since he didn't seem to understand that. But, I also wanted to mention it so that you know that any advise he gives you on those settings is probably not going to work, since he doesn't even know that his settings for that aren't even being used at all since they are commented out. No offense, erik_llewellyn.

If you don't know exactly what that setting does (and I don't think most people do), I would highly suggest not using it. It is stated in multiple wikis and posts not to use that setting unless you are absolutely sure you have to.

Ok, I will give it a shot commented out, sounds like that may be the issue.

Trevius is correct on the commented out sections not being read. What I pasted was mine commented out intentionally since what good would it do him to put my info into his config? Here are some screen shots of my server up and running allowing anyone on my LAN side to access as well as allow typical EQEmu users access. Port Forwarding is a MUST if you want multiple computers on your LAN to have access. You must also configure ALL client firewalls to allow for eqgame.exe to run through your firewall. This is in the "exception" tab, click add program, and choose eqgame.exe in your EQ client folder if you use the default windowsXP firewall.

Thanks for the in depth stuff erik, but the commenting out of the 2 lines worked perfectly for me. Probably explains why I had issues getting other people in, in the first place.

Hope someone else can get some use out of those screenshots
