Friends can't connect to my server

[moltke24]

So i installed everquest on the computer next to me and i can connect... anyone have any idea?

[Uleat]

Can your friends connect when you are connected on this computer next to you?

What do your world logs indicate? Are there any login attempts shown?

i have logs from my computer next to me when it logs in, and i had logs when people tried to connect when we were in the same room at my parents.

they say they can connect to all the servers but mine, i get no attempts to log into my server when they try to log in now.

they said their computer just freezes and goes back to the log in screen when they try to connect to my server.

[moltke24]

it has to be something really simple, i know its going to be like one thing blocking or timing out their connections to my server that prevents them from logging in outside of LAN

[Noport]

moltke24: make sure your server is setup as a public server under variables in your peq database. the error it's given tells me their ip address needs updated in the data base.

requires TCP port 7000 open to connect - verify that your firewall has it open
game requires UDP 1024-65535 to be open outbound, verify

And this is from my database, so i think ive made it public?

I'm sorry im pretty clueless on most of this, I'm in med school and like to dabble in this kind of stuff but i dont really have a good understanding of it since i spend most of my time in non computer related things

where do i put their ip addresses so they can connect?

could you copy and paste something so i can see where id put the IPs in at?

[moltke24]

I had them go to the eqhost.txt file and change the host name from login.eqemulator.net to my ip address and they still can't connect.

I've been spending hours doing things and i feel like anything that i do could just mess it up more and i literally could be one step off from them connecting...

moltke24 make sure your eqemulogin.ini files looks just like this
replace the xxxxx and type in your password
what I think is happening your using the wrong login and your trying to use a newer client then Sof

Port=5999
DumpPacketsIn=false
DumpPacketsOut=false
Trace=false
DatabaseServerName=localhost
DatabaseCatalogName=peqlogindb
DatabaseUserName=root
DatabaseUserPassword=xxxxxxxxxx
OPCodePathAndFileName=login_opcodes_SoD.conf

I looked around and searched for eqemulogin.ini and nothing was found

I searched DumpPacketsIn nothing was found
I searched all of the words in the file you linked and nothing was found. So, i don't think I have this file?

i did find a login.ini that looks like

[database]
host = localhost
port = 3306
db = eqemu
user = user
password = password
subsystem = MySQL

[options]
unregistered_allowed = TRUE
reject_duplicate_servers = FALSE
trace = TRUE
world_trace = FALSE
dump_packets_in = FALSE
dump_packets_out = FALSE
listen_port = 5998
local_network = 192.16x.x.

[security]
plugin = EQEmuAuthCrypto
mode = 5

[Titanium]
port = 5998
opcodes = login_opcodes.conf

[SoD]
port = 5999
opcodes = login_opcodes_sod.conf

[schema]
account_table = tblLoginServerAccounts
world_registration_table = tblWorldServerRegistration
world_admin_registration_table = tblServerAdminRegistration
world_server_type_table = tblServerListType

[Noport]

moltke24
eqemulogin.ini
make sure your DatabaseCatalogName matchs your db = eqemu name in your login.ini

DatabaseCatalogName=eqemu

note: make sure listen_port=5999 same as eqemulogin.ini leave your setting alone in eqemu_config.xml

[moltke24]

I gave up on this.
