LOL okay, open a dos command window and cd over to your eqemu directory. From the cmd window, try world.exe. The world.exe should launch & fail but keep the dos window open.

I suspect it has something to do with permissions.
Try changing the Database connection IP back to 127.0.0.1 or localhost.


Secondly, (and this is the third time I have seen a thread like this in as many days...wierd) you are having connection issues due to your DSL modem being a router in addition to your router being a router. You have two levels of NAT so here are your options:

Quote:
A) Use DSL as router and shift the Linksys over to act as a simple HUB, using the DHCP & Port forwarding on the DSL modem/router.

-or-

B) Shift the DSL modem/router over to Bridge mode, have the Linksys aquire an IP from your ISP via PPPoE and use the DHCP & port forwarding on the Linksys.


Personally, I prefer (and recommend) B as typically the COTS routers will have 10x more stability, throughput and features than the craptastic DSL modem/routers that come standard issue with most broadband packages. Not to mention that you can Flash the Firmware of Linksys's WRT54G with the 'unsupported Firmware' and make it into one hell of a router!
