something missing

[xxGriff]

I followed the latest guide to get my home server up, and thus far it is much fun.

the only issue, I would like my brother and a friend to be able to log in and play. the guide used minilogin, and i can see my external clients attempting to connect, and they report hang w/black screen and booted back to sign in. i do not see any errors in logs, just the login attempt from IP_Address.

so they are connecting to the LS but cannot jmove beyong server selection (they see my server and population...)

how is this best resolved ? diff LS or can Minilogin accomodate my needs?

my apologies for what seems to be a convoluted thread, but i am building toward greater knowledge and ability to contribute to the project, and may require many moron moments...

My server uses EQEmuLoginServer.exe and I am able to hook up from outside my network, like from work. There are quite a few ports that have to be forwarded also.
