Running server with no Ethernet connection

You can either install a 'loopback' driver for that address - which will need to be removed before connecting back to your router..

..or, you can simply make copies of your eqemu_config.json and login.ini files and switch between lan and localhost configs.


For your localhost config settings, just change everything to 127.0.0.1 and the 'network' setting in login.ini to

local_network = 127.0.0.

That should be the easiest to maintain.

Ok I’ve installed the loop back Adaptor and am now getting an up address but it’s not a 127 address it’s 169.254.197.254 do I need to set a static or some other configuration on the loop back adaptor to get the 127?

Ok I set a static on the loopback adaptor (a 192 address) and that had worked thanks
For your help the loop back adapator was exactly what I was looking for!
