LAN Problem II

[Uleat]

Not sure if you're mixing localhost and LAN IP addresses here.


Essentially, to run a Public login server host, you will need to ensure that all of your config addresses reflect your LAN IP and configure
port-forwarding accordingly (this includes LAN-only with Public login server..though, this will still allow remote users to login.)
The only exception is the database address, which should be 127.0.0.1.

<!-- Only specify these two if you really think you need to.  (read: You don't) -->
		<!-- <address>some.server.com</address> -->
		<!-- <localaddress>192.168.0.5</localaddress> -->

Note: If you are using the 'short' eqemu_config.xml file, this entry will not be present. Also, there will be no login.ini file use for a
Public login server host.


If it's a LAN-only with a Private login server, the configuration will be the same as Public..with the exception of port-forwarding configuration.

<!-- Only specify these two if you really think you need to.  (read: You don't) -->
		<address>192.168.1.65</address>
		<localaddress>192.168.1.65</localaddress>

local_network = 192.168.1.

Note: I used '192.168.1.65' as a reference since I don't know the actual index of the host computer.


On a single host-client computer, you can use either your LAN IP or 127.0.0.1 - just be sure to use the same address/network for all servers.
Of course, database should remain 127.0.0.1 here, as well.

<!-- Only specify these two if you really think you need to.  (read: You don't) -->
		<address>127.0.0.1</address>
		<localaddress>127.0.0.1</localaddress>

local_network = 127.0.0.

Note: If you are using a Private login server, as in either of the above two cases, you will need to use the 'full' version of
eqemu_config.xml. Just be sure to drop the '.full' extension, or copy the contents of it over the 'short' versions contents.


For any LAN IP-based server, it's highly recommended that you either:

1) Disable DHCP for your network card's and use a static address.

-- or --

2) If your router allows it, reserve a specific address for your network card's MAC ID.

This will alleviate any issues with 'floating' IP addresses.


Double-check your settings based on what configuration you chose and we'll go from there.

If you're working on a vm, that's beyond my kb and someone else will need to offer assistance.
