Simple yet so hard

I guess I would start with your eqhost.txt file on both your PC and your sons. Be sure you arnt just connecting to 'localhost'. If you are you will need to change that. (This could be why all you see is your server)

As far as a private server, im not 100% sure on how to set it up correctly, But the round about way would be to go into your accounts table with navicat.

Add their accounts into that table manualy, and set their access to 255.

Then when you launch your world (if it were set to public) #lock when you enter the game, it will keep other people out except those with the proper access.

Just be sure to check your eqhost.txt and your server .XML file, and change it to the proper IP. If you have more questions, keep us updated.

I tried with the eqhost and still nothing. But what would I do to be able to see the other servers online? I might have changed something or to many things to my local address. There is no list, just always stays at preferred servers and it just shows mine. Now he sees nothing but a blank list when I run his. He does not have to run eqemu right? He should just have EQ game itself and some shortcut to click on. I need to be running my server to see my server. If I dont want to run my server and go on someone elses I do?

I just never see anyone elses either. I love games but I hate figuring out the technical aspects of doing more than just play lol! Thank you!
