Kickback on attempt to Connect

[Akkadius]

Maybe I should mention that my testers can get on just fine but it seems I can't get on locally after the Login Server adjustments. Although I haven't tried from another location, my accounts no longer reach my server, but reach others so I'm pretty sure its a local issue.

Can you post your config with the sensitive information redacted?

Done with this.

Okay well it probably has to do with a difference in how the svn server handles local lan addresses. I think trev has been connecting via his lan and maybe can add on how to successfully connect behind one atm. I'll look into what needs to change loginserver side to get similar out of the box functionality with it to the old one.

Thank you Kimmy, I don't need to get on soon because I will be busy in RL for a week or so, but whenever we can get that all squared that'd be awesome.

Thank you again 8 D

If you have the GM IP restriction setup and are using the gm_ips table, there seems to have been a change in what IP the LS sends you to your server as if you are playing from the same LAN. It used to come in as my PC's LAN address of 192.168.1.101, but now it comes in as my router/gateway LAN address of 192.168.1.1.

An easy way to verify what IP you are being seen as now is to check the EQEmu web tool and lookup your GM account there in the database / account lookup. If you are running the latest web tool updates, it will now show your connecting IP information even if you don't get all of the way in. That is how I found that mine had changed. You could also just look in your accounts_ip table and check your connecting IPs that way.

I ran into a problem last night that was crashing my client while connecting due to whatever change on the LS that changed the IP that is sent to the server. Took me a few minutes to figure out, but once I added my gateway address to my gm_ips table, it started working just fine.

Hope this helps.

Hey

I'm having the same issue. Basically whats happening is the server connects to the LS fine and shows up on the server list without problems. I click my server and click play and the screen turns to black for about 1-1 and a half minutes then boots me back to login. At first there is no error message but if you type your password in again and return to server select then an error pops up saying "Error 1017: Cannot login to the Everquest server. You may need to rerun the update patch. Repeatedly seeing this message indicates a loss of connectivity to the Patch Server. This is usually temporary." From here if i click "ok" i can select another server and i can login and play fine, just not my own.

Basically what you're saying Trev is that the new LS changes causes some sort of IP changing error when logging into you server from the same box the server is running on? Well i think i followed your directions correctly. I got a hold of my gateway IP and plugged it into the gm_ips table in the database. The table was originally completely empty. I plugged in the name, account id and then my gateway ip and tried again but nothing changed.

I should probably also note that world.exe doesn't change at all through the login process, it no longer says the usual "received connection from IP blah blah blah" as it usually does and instead just sits silent, as if it's not even receiving a connection. Don't know if that means anything or not.. lol
