I set up a server to run on a lan and a friend from work. I used minilogin and had my dysdns address setup. I could connect to my server but no one on the outside could. Once I got it working for the outside, I couldn't connect. If you are using minilogin you want your host file, the one on the same subnet as the server to only have one entry for your game server.
Keep this one: 192.168.0.62 lordsofchaos.game-host.org
Scratch this one: 75.166.227.27 lordsofchaos.game-host.org
if you have multiple entries set in your host file you are confusing your pc. It will try to connect to the 192 address once and the next time the 75 address.
Like has been said above if you are doing a public then your host file does nothing, If you want a private one you have to use minilogin.
You do mention it being a public server, I'll assume that you have set your eqhost.txt file correctly as have your friends. It also means that I'll see your server in the list and be able to login , assuming the server is up.
If you have changed your eqhost.txt file to anything other than:
[LoginServer]
Host=eqemulator.net:5998
You are not creating a public server and should be using minilogin.
Sorry this is so long and repetative, the more I typed the more questions I had.
Hope this helps
