Windows Server Installer :: Modular & Scripted

I show no errors. No crash. The server is listed in the server files as open to join.

I've used this installer in the past and it worked flawlessly.

I just downloaded this installer after wiping my drive and have run into this issue. I've tried entering the server from different EQ versions and different computers. Same issue. When entering the server I never get the loading screen - it stays black for about 30 sec then kicks me to the login screen.

I can log into other servers just fine, just not the one I created of this installer.

To be clear: this is a windows install with both the client you are trying to login with and the server running on the same instance?

Windows 7 64bit
Server is running on a separate PC than the one I run EQ on.

Only odd thing I see that didn't happen a few months ago when I ran a server off of this installer is when world.exe runs I see "New zone Server connection from.... at 127.0.0.1:...." about 30 times in a row. I don't recall seeing this in the past. Maybe I didn't pay attention until it didn't work though.

I however, am able to log into the server from the computer the server is running on. I still cannot log into the server from a different computer.

I found the issue.

My Firewall was still blocking "world" in the InBound rules. Once I set it to allow, all worked as it should.

Thank you for responding so fast Akkadius.

Hmmm - the installer adds rules for all ports for windows - application agnostic
