It works perfect for me but anyone outside my home cannot connect. I temporarily have this computer set as dmz and firewall is off

I am not using mini login... variables table has login set to public

Here is my config file:

<?xml version="1.0">
<server>
<world>
<shortname>Skizoke</shortname>
<longname>Skizoke Test Server</longname>


<address>74.145.72.21</address>-->
<localaddress>192.168.1.68</localaddress>-->


<loginserver>
<host>eqemulator.net</host>
<port>5998</port>
<account></account>
<password></password>
</loginserver>


<key>some long random string</key>



<http port="9080" enabled="true" mimefile="mime.types" />
</world>


<database>
<host>localhost</host>
<port>3306</port>
<username>root</username>
<password>******</password>
<db>peq</db>
</database>

Code:

<!-- Only specify these two if you really think you need to. -->
<address>74.145.72.21</address>-->
<localaddress>192.168.1.68</localaddress>-->

If you are setting up a public server, then you should never set this section unless you are 100% sure you have to, which 99.9% of the time, you don't. By setting it, you will almost always break the connections for people outside your LAN. If you are setting up a Mini-Login, then you probably do need to set this, but I don't really know much about Mini-Login.

Try removing those lines from your config and see what happens.

Plus, it looks like you have those config lines half commented out, which might cause problems. The "-->" at the end of the line should be signifying the end of a comment "" on the same line, or neither one.

I tried what you said, but no luck.

Here is the way the file is currently set up:

<?xml version="1.0">
<server>
<world>
<shortname>Skizoke</shortname>
<longname>Skizoke Test Server</longname>






<loginserver>
<host>eqemulator.net</host>
<port>5998</port>
<account></account>
<password></password>
</loginserver>


<key>some long random string</key>





<http port="9080" enabled="true" mimefile="mime.types" />
</world>


<database>
<host>localhost</host>
<port>3306</port>
<username>root</username>
<password>*********</password>
<db>peq</db>
</database>
</server>

By chance do you have a good one that works that I can clone? I'm not having any luck modifying one.

Of course I would have to set the db settings and the shortname and longname.... its the other things I am unsure about.

Are you sure you have your server setup as a DMZ properly? If you are using DHCP and you reboot the server, it might be assigning a new IP address that doesn't match up with your DMZ settings. Do an ipconfig from a command prompt and make 100% certain you are using the right IPs.

Skizoke · #7 09-30-2008, 08:28 PM

Yeah, the ip's match. Cavedude suggested that I un-remark the:




And set the address to my external ip and the local address to the 192.168.X.X ip. The problem for me now is when I do ipconfig it only shows the external ip. All computers on this network cannot connect to the server now. I'm not sure if anyone outside of here can. Sorry for the trouble and thanks alot for the help so far.

Edit: If anyone has a working eqemu_config file they can email me at skizoke@yahoo.com

**** out password of course.
