Is your dad not able to login to his login server account, or is he just not able to connect to the world server?

This could be an ISP issue.

I actually just completely erased those two fields. I left them looking like this:

<!-- Only specify these two if you really think you need to. -->
<address></address>
<localaddress></localaddress>

To comment them out, do I make it look like this?

<!-- Only specify these two if you really think you need to. -->
<!-- <address></address> -->
<!-- <localaddress></localaddress> -->

My dad is completely unable to get past the login screen. It basically says he cannot reach the server when he enters his login credentials.

Yes, that's right.

If that's the case, then don't worry about the world server for now. It's not important. You can even turn it off. Instead, we need to figure out why he can't connect to the login server.

Are there any errors given by the login server?
Are you forwarding the ports to the correct internal IP address?

Double check your firewall and anti-virus (if applicable).

Some ISPs don't like their clients hosting servers, so your new ISP may be blocking incoming connections.

With the axclassic repack there is a gui interface you use. You click launch mysql which loads a dos window that quickly disappears. Then you click "start eqemu" which brings up a dos window that shows everything loading for your server. I don't see any errors in that window. Is there a log of any sort I can post? Like I said, I can login and play perfectly fine. But, when I change my login server to my external IP I get this error (A), which seems to me something important. Shouldn't my login server have to be my external IP for others to login to my server from outside my home network?

(A)
[Debug] [World_LS] Connecting to login server...
[Debug] [World_LS_ERR] Could not connect to login server: TCPConnection::Connect<> failed. Error: 10061



Ports are forwarded as far as I know. See my original post for which ports I forwarded. I forwarded them all for 192.168.0.113 which is my local IP.

Firewall is turned off completely, as well as anti-virus for testing purposes.

No, that field is for world->login connections, not for client->login connections. If you are running the login server on the same computer as the world server, then localhost (127.0.0.1) is the correct IP to use.

Ok so we know I have the right address there. Now I just need to figure out why my dad cant login. Hmmm

What kind of internet connection do you have now? Cable, DSL, etc...

Oh, and post your login.ini with sensitive information censored please.

We have Verizon FiOS here. Used to have cable through Time Warner.

As for a login.ini... Think AxClassic may work slightly differently? I have a "LoginServer" txt that is in a "login" directory within axclassic. There's also a login application that I am guessing gets automatically started and minimized after mysql starts maybe? Anyway.. the LoginServer txt file in the "login" directory is this:

[LoginConfig]
ServerName=AX Classic
ServerDescription=AX Classic Server
ServerMode=PrivateLogin
ServerPort=5999
ipaddress=
allowanonservers=12
statsaddress=
statsport=

However there's also a LoginServer txt file in the root directory of axclassic that looks like this:

[LoginConfig]
ServerName=AX Classic
ServerDescription=AX Classic Server
ServerMode=Master
ServerPort=5999
ipaddress=
allowanonservers=12
statsaddress=
statsport=

The only differences I see immediately are that it reads "Master" for ServerMode, and has an ipaddress field that is blank that the first txt does not have. I have never edited either file, prior to or after my move, to my knowledge. That's not to say changing something in the gui couldn't have automatically changed it. Not sure on that.

Also, when I start mysql with the gui, and then manually run the login app, it appears to be using the txt from the login directory.... I'm no expert on how axclassic works though. I don't even know if that particular login exe is used when you click "start mysql" and then "start server" on the AxClassic gui. I'm guessing somehow there's a login.exe running in that process.
