ok here's what I do. According to the readme.txt.

I run World.exe

I then run Boot5Zones.bat

I then run eqw

it doesnt mention running Zone9x.exe OR ZoneNT.exe anywhere in the readme... so I never ran either of these. This is an excerpt from the readme.txt....

3) Right click Boot5Zones.bat and click EDIT (This should open up the file in a notepad)
(Or open Boot5Zones.Win9x.bat if you are on Windows 98 or ME).

change it to look like this ("YourIP" has to be replaced with your REAL IP, not 192.168.*)

@echo off
start zoneNT . YourIP 7995 127.0.0.1
start zoneNT . YourIP 7996 127.0.0.1
start zoneNT . YourIP 7997 127.0.0.1
start zoneNT . YourIP 7998 127.0.0.1
start zoneNT . YourIP 7999 127.0.0.1
exit
cls

Now when I open Boot5Zones.Win9x.bat. It still reads the exact same as above. It never mentions changin the NT to 9x. is that all I have to to is simply replace the "NT" with "9x" ? And when exactly should I be running Zone 9x.exe?

ok, I think im starting to understand this. the Boot5Zones.win9x.bat is running zonent.exe when I fire it up? so when I change the Boot5Zones.win9x.bat to zone9x, it should run zone9x.exe? is this correct?

really sorry all, seems this was way over my head

is it a mistake then that Boot5Zones.win9x.bat and the Boot5Zones.bat are exactly the same?

I see where you messed up, you opened up the .win9x.bat file and copied the stuff there that said ZoneNT. dont change "zone9x" in the file hehe. you want it to load up zone9x.exe when you run the batfile. i'll fix the readme now.

[Shawn319]

I took out the example and now it says

3) Right click Boot5Zones.bat and click EDIT (This should open up the file in a notepad)
(Or open Boot5Zones.Win9x.bat if you are on Windows 98 or ME).

4) All "YourIP" entrys should be changed to your REAL IP address. If you are on Windows 98/me goto Start, Run and type "winipcfg" without the quotes and hit enter. Your REAL IP should be listed under "IP Address"

If you are on Windows2000/XP then goto Start, Run and type CMD to open a dos window. Now type "ipconfig" without the quotes and hit enter. Your REAL IP should be listed under "IP Address"

I hope this is a little more clear and helpful.

they were set to my real IP, it was the NT thing. Somewhere either in the readme it should say to change the "NT"'s to 9x or the 2 files (Boot5Zones.bat and Boot5Zones.Win9x.bat) should be different as the stand they are identical. I downloaded most recent version and it came like this. just an FYI. changing the "NT" to "9x" did the trick. thank you all for the help. Especially Bastin, thanks for the help guy
