nvm thought i did, looks like people could log into character select but couldnt log into the zones any thoughts?

There is no need to add anything to your hosts file. I suggest removing them.

You should also check to make sure you are forwarding port ranges 7000 to 7100 and 9000 to your server from your router.

Most likely, if you can't zone in, then there is another issue though. I am guessing you are using the AX database. If so, make sure the zone launcher name in your launcher table matches the name in your start.bat file. They should both either be zone or zones but they have to match.

ah alright, it was my understanding i needed to edit my hosts file for my DynDNS thing, ill test that and post back with how it worked thank you!

It would probably depend on what you were using dyndns for. Normally it is only used for external access to your home PC. In that case, you don't need to edit anything, it would work just like a normal URL would. That is the point of having dyndns

well i tried deleting that all from my host file and i cannot even log into the server then, the ports are forwarded yes, my host file now looks like this:
# Copyright (c) 1993-2006 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost
75.166.227.27 lordsofchaos.game-host.org
192.168.0.62 lordsofchaos.game-host.org

Any Ideas?

Which database are you using? PEQ or AX?

And, unless you are using MiniLogin, your host file has nothing to do with the emulator. If you are setting up a normal Public server, your EQ PC should be set to point to the emulator login server as shown in the Wiki page here:

http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka...akka=PlayGuide

The login server uses your IP address and has nothing to do with your dyndns setup (at least as far as I know). Dyndns is really only useful for the tools for the emulator if you use them externally. The dyndns address should only be set in your router and really doesn't have anything directly to do with your PC. All it does is point the URL you pick to your router's dynamic IP address.
