Skizoke, You said that you are not using minilogin. If not then you don't need to open any ports on your router and all eqhost.txt files should have the line:Host=eqemulator.net:5998. Everyone will need a login on this site and connect to your server publicly. If that is not what you want you need to open the ports on your router and use minilogin. The ip for your server will be the ip for your router, at least as far as players outside your lan are concerned. You will need someway to get the ip address of your friends, use this: http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka...akka=MiniLogin.

I have set up several servers this way, I always wanted just my friends to play on my lan. As it turns out this is an awful lot of work. Just setup the server normally and then lock it. Give your friends enough privileges to sign into the locked server. Much easier and you don't have to worry about modifing the eqhost.txt file all the time or opening the ports on your router.

If he is using the Public Login Server, then he definitely needs the Port Ranges that I mentioned to be forwarded to his server. It will not work otherwise unless he connect his PC directly to the modem without the router in the middle or unless he sets his server as a DMZ in the router config.

My problem is my modem IS my router. It's an AT&T dsl wireless modem with 4 connections for cat5 and has a built in router. So far it hasn't given me any problems. Hopefully, its just me and not the router/modem screwing me up.

Oops, come to think of it I have always setup minilogin first then attempted to setup the public afterward. I guess my ports have already been open.

What server is it, Skizoke? I'll try to login and see what happens.

Skizoke Test Server

Here is the way my eqemu_config file currently looks:

<?xml version="1.0">
<server>
<world>
<shortname>Skizoke</shortname>
<longname>Skizoke Test Server</longname>


<address>74.185.XX.XX</address>
<localaddress>192.168.1.68</localaddress>


<loginserver>
<host>eqemulator.net</host>
<port>5998</port>
<account></account>
<password></password>
</loginserver>


<key>some long random string</key>





<http port="9080" enabled="true" mimefile="mime.types" />
</world>


<database>
<host>localhost</host>
<port>3306</port>
<username>root</username>
<password>******</password>
<db>peq</db>
</database>
</server>

Skizoke, This was in my Titanium log file.

Code:

2008-09-30 23:07:33	Networking: Connection Established [1]
2008-09-30 23:08:33	*** WorldAuthenticate.  Error connecting to 74.185.XX.XX:9000 [client:DisconnectReasonConnectFail,server:DisconnectReasonNone]
2008-09-30 23:08:33	
2008-09-30 23:08:33	Networking: Connection Closed [0] with 0 pending bytes.
2008-09-30 23:08:34	*** ERROR: WorldAuthenticate has failed after attempting to connect.

First try commenting these lines in your eqemu_config file:
<address>74.185.XX.XX</address>
<localaddress>192.168.1.68</localaddress>

Second try this, note I don't even have this line in my eqemu_config file:
Try uncommenting this line from your eqemu_config file:

Skizoke · #8 10-01-2008, 12:29 AM

I made the changes, currently looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0">
<server>
<world>
<shortname>Skizoke</shortname>
<longname>Skizoke Test Server</longname>






<loginserver>
<host>eqemulator.net</host>
<port>5998</port>
<account></account>
<password></password>
</loginserver>


<key>some long random string</key>


<tcp ip="localhost" port="9000" telnet="disable"/>


<http port="9080" enabled="true" mimefile="mime.types" />
</world>


<database>
<host>localhost</host>
<port>3306</port>
<username>root</username>
<password>******</password>
<db>peq</db>
</database>
</server>

I don't know how to actually restart the server. I have just been closing the two dos windows. I am just now thinking, maybe changes to my config file are not taking effect if I am not restarting correctly?

The titanium log file? Where is it located and what is the exact name?

I see zone logs and debug logs, just not sure which one you are referring to.

Skizoke · #10 09-30-2008, 11:12 PM

Trevius, I did what you suggested. I don't know if it worked yet, the friend who has been trying to connect is away from keyboard (using IM)

Stlaei, That is correct. I'm not using minilogin and would prefer to keep it a public server at this time. If I don't need to open up any ports why can't anyone outside of my house connect to the server?
