trouble saving eqhost file

[Manix25]

Found a small input error that fixed that problem.I now have my server up and running,but everytime I go to log in,it will load up the world and at the moment it seems I should enter the world,it boots me back to login.Iv searched and found someone with a similar problem that was told to change the ruleset timeout values in the sql.I cant seem to find this place in the sql to change these though.Any help appreciated,thanks.

Im succesfully in my own server.Thanks for the awesome guide techguy.Its all there,if anyone is having problems,I suggest just sticking to it and going back through every step very carefully.The smallest mistype can be causing a problem.Thanks for the help.

You forgot the world "echo" in your start.bat file didnt you.

"It's all in there" is the truth for it, and I think I put in thier a couple times to go back and triple check everything that you had to do to get the server going. It works straight out the box if done properly, the only catch I belive is with incoming connections. I did not go over what has to be done to open ports for others to connect. I can add it in there, but been kinda busy, plus my DSL router is a stupid whore that cant accept incoming connections the right way without first dropping it in the bathroom toliet for 20 minutes and then plugging it back up. Silly Speedstream peice o crap.

As restarded as the issue is, its actually easily mended. open explorer and navigate to notepad.exe (C:\windows\system32\) Hold SHIFT and then RIGHT-CLICK on notepad.exe, choose RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR and once it opens click file and open and then navigate to the eqhost.txt file. You should now be able to change it and save it. Vista runs as a limited administrator even when you are running as administrator. Its something they picked up from MAC.

This is actually a pretty good idea, for most users. Microsoft takes a lot of flak for poor desktop security, and they are attempting to remedy that. (I'm still a Mac fanboy though!)

Windows Vista automatically enables a feature called User Account Control (or UAC for short). The UAC forces users that are part of the local administrators group to run like they were regular users with no administrative privileges.

If you are a "power user", you can disable UAC by running regedit and navigating to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Policies\System. Change the value of DWORD EnableLUA from 1 to 0 to disable UAC. 0=disabled, 1=enabled.

Vista can be a PITA, but it's pretty and has better 64 bit drivers than XP 64. 64 bits may not be needed for most desktop applications, but it allows the OS to address more than 3 gigabytes of RAM.
