Need help please =/

[imith]

been trying minilogin and public, no matter what the computer that is connected through a wireless card gets dropped off when zoning in or when trying to select a server, with both they do, did they take away the eqemu IRC channel?

[imith]

totally redid everything tonight, re forwarded ports, sourced brand new DB, uninstalled mysql services and got a new one, and still looks like no one can connect, anyone have a MSN or AIM address that could speak with me over? I feel I am getting very close, I just have to be missing something simple, here is my current config:
<?xml version="1.0">
<server>
<world>
<shortname>whatever</shortname>
<longname>Lords of Chaos</longname>

<!-- Only specify these two if you really think you need to. -->
<!--<address>jimbobway.dyndns.org</address>-->
<!--<localaddress>127.0.0.1</localaddress>-->

<!-- Loginserver information. -->
<loginserver>
<host>eqemulator.net</host>
<port>5998</port>
<account></account>
<password></password>
</loginserver>

<!-- Sets the shared key used by zone/launcher to connect to world -->
<key>some long random string</key>

<!-- Enable and set the port for the HTTP service. -->
<http port="9080" enabled="true" mimefile="mime.types" />
</world>

<!-- Database configuration, replaces db.ini. -->
<database>
<host>localhost</host>
<port>3306</port>
<username>*****</username>
<password>*****</password>
<db>peq</db>
</database>
</server>

Can you plug the pc, with the wireless card, in via cable, just as a test. I have had trouble with my wireless before, similar to yours, it wound up being a driver that fixed the issue. Should check it, especially if the wireless is the only one hanging.

[imith]

well a computer over the LAN can get in, but im not sure if anyone else can log in no one has tried, i named my server anyone want to try loggin in? lol but the pc with the wireless card can log into other servers, just not mine.

[imith]

sorry for double post, not letting me edit, but the thing is if i could get the one with the wireless card in it connected thats what im mainly worried about, even through minilogin the pc could get to char select then crash or zone in sometimes but the second u zone crash or hang, so think i could see the driver you were speaking of? Or an instant message address, looks like they removed IRC, or i cannot connect at least. Also when my world is loading should i see 127.0.0.1 trying to connect the zones to start or my internal or external? Once again this is public login

[imith]

also this is a list of all the ports I opened up, all the doubles mean its TCP and UDP have I missed any?
*3306 Server 192.168.0.62
*3306* Server 192.168.0.62
*5998 Server 192.168.0.62
*5998* Server 192.168.0.62
*5999 Server 192.168.0.62
*5999^ Server 192.168.0.62
*7000^ Server 192.168.0.62
*9000 Server 192.168.0.62
*9000* Server 192.168.0.62
*9080 Server 192.168.0.62

Hey Imith,


I just ran into this EQEmu site not to long ago actually 5 days ago. I have spent the last 3 days following all the linux guides in debian, and now finally completing the windows install and my eqemu server is up and running. I really gotta thank everyone who made a guide out there like cavedudes, angeloxs every eq emulator forum on the net.

I have setup lineage2 pr servers, wow pr servers before and was really having a good time following old debian guides looking for the db files, the maps, the sql sources, and reading about how its all put together. I nuked my ubuntu install and went with old debians that were in the guides I found as well following everything to a T.

I played eq for over 6 years and must say this is amazing to have this setup to checkout its like going back in time for me.

Sorry for all the blabbing but now I would love to have a friend or 2 connect to the server to check it out they are on the outside and I am using minilogin. I understand you must use eqemulator login for WAN people to connect. I see in the guides it says to have them leave eqemulator.net in there eqhost.txt but who makes the account to let them login? Is it still in my database and eqemulator.net just passes it through something?

Would it be possible to just change my login server to a hamachi setup and have him connect from WAN that way? If anyone can just shed alittle light on what the best way to go is to setup outside connections I would be so thankful. I have been reading searching non-stop for the past 3-4 days thats why I ask like this.

Imithi if you want just post back or email me @ bgigi@icompt.com I can call you and try to resolve your issue today if you like??

The you want to use Port RANGE Forwarding, not Port Forwarding if that is what you are using. The only ranges you need for people to publicly connect to the emulator server are 7000 to 7100 and 9000 to 9000. You can also forward 9080 if you want to use the admin tool externally.

Wiley,

I imagine you could setup a himachi connection, but dyndns works just as well. You wouldn't need either of these on a public server if you ever considered that instead.

When you want people to connect to your server running mini login, I think you just need to have them put your IP or dyndns address and port 5999 in their eqhost.txt file. If they have eqemulator.net in there, it will go to the public login server.

If you are using minilogin, you have to manually make every account. If you were using the public login, you don't have to do anything as the login server does everything for you.
