Windows Server Installer :: Modular & Scripted

Thank you, but this is for LAN play, that set of instructions is for connecting to one of the EQEMU servers. I am running into conflicts between the server instructions on the website and the instructions the installer tells me, basically two different IP addresses. everquest.exe never connects, it keeps looking for Sony.

If it's looking for Sony your eqhosts.txt is wrong or you haven't added "patchme" to the end of your eqgame.exe shortcut (described in Huppy's link). Local players will want your local IP and outside players will want your public IP.

EQEmu

Code:

[LoginServer]
Host=login.eqemulator.net:5999

Public

Code:

[LoginServer]
Host=101.202.111.222:5999

Can use https://whatismyip.com to find you public IP.

Local

Code:

[LoginServer]
Host=192.168.0.1:5999

etc...

If you're not using the public loginserver then loginserver 1 will be public IP and loginserver 2 will be local IP.

If you have no interest in public access then you only need one entry for local IP.

I don't do a lot of stuff with IPs, is the local IP referenced by the IPv4 address as directed by the instructions? I did miss the patchme instructions as they were not mentioned in the instructions for LAN/Loginserver instructions, thank you.

If you open CMD and type ipconfig, the ipv4 address is your local IP. Most start with 192.168.x.x or 10.0.x.x.

If you use the link above, that is your public IP.

It would help if I followed the actual instructions... I had a shortcut to everquest.exe not eqgame.exe. Strangely, when I finally got everything set-up correctly it worked like a charm.

Thank you all so much.
