Ah. Check the changelog from your previous version (070845) to the current version and make sure you check all of the required SQL entries and source them in. That could have messed it up. There's also a sticky in the developers section of the forum with the current SQL stuff you can add. Make sure you read through it first before adding them because it might screw up AA's.
It's real easy to set up a dynamic IP. Just make an account at no-ip.org or dyndns.com and set up your connection - let's say it's named
smartmonkey.dyndns.org. Then just put:
Quote:
[LoginServer]
Host=smartmonkey.dyndns.org:5999
|
in your eqhost.txt and give the file to whomever you want to connect to you. And you just keep yours at 127.0.0.1:5999 since it's not a dedicated server (assuming you're hosting it on the same PC you're playing on).
They both have tools that you can install that sends your new ip address to them as soon as it changes so you don't have to keep editing the file. All you have to do is input your account info like you did on the website, and the rest is automatic. Be careful on refreshing the ip address, though. If you spam them, they will disable your account. Just let it update by itself if you decide to use the software and you should be perfectly fine.
Personally, I wouldn't recommend hosting the server and playing on dialup, on the same PC. There's so many problems you're going to come across, and there's only so much we can help you with. I'm not saying it's not going to work, I'm just saying it'll be a bit of a pain to play with. :p
