haven't had much time to play with it of late.

Nos, I have had trouble in the past getting people to be able to log in from external addresses. I had to setup the eqemu_config.xml file with the dns name. I got the dns name from dyndns, so the dns name pointed to my ip on my router. I then had to modify the hosts file on each pc on the internal network with the internal address associated with the dns name. That was the only way I was able to get both internal and external addresses to work.

Continued from above (couldn't edit)

My issue stems from the everquest client not passing the correct username or password to my login database. I did use the query to enter the password so that the password is sha encrypted.

Since I have gotten an account to work I am assuming that the eq client is not handling the password/encryption in the same way that the we are adding it to the database. There may be something else I am forgetting or not realized I should have done.

Not entirely pertaining to what's being discussed now but: going to be changing how the securitylib works eventually for linux since the .so has been fairly problematic.

I never had a problem setting up a server using external ip's if using eqemulator.net to log in - only the newly-released login server. using eqemulator.net, i could log in locally or remotely w/o a problem.

like i said, i haven't had much time to play with it, but i'll try the dns approach as soon as i can.

Thanks!

Nos, Sorry I should have mentioned that at the time I was using minilogin and not the public server.

I have migrated to the eqemuloginserver but still hosted internally.

has anyone been able to get this to work with remote connections?
