i've tried doing the privileges thing.. a couple of different ways.. uninstalling/reinstalling mysql (rebooted between)... and still same problem... tried deleting my.ini.. rebooting, and making a new login/pass (making sure that db.ini still matches)... im using notepad as my editor (this a bad thing? or is it OK?)....

I REALLY want to get a LAN server running... there are sometimes up to 8 computers in this house, and it'd be cool to have our own little server... (cant use the login from login.eqemu because we are behind a hardware firewall....)

any help would be greatly appreciated!! thank you in advance!!

The password that the emulator is questioning is your login password that you use to get onto your server. You are using eqemu eqemu for user and pass it seems, you have to add that user to world.exe by going to a promt in the directory that world is run ex. c:\eqemu ...and type this "world.exe adduser eqemu eqemu" and then flag the account the same place by typing "world.exe flag eqemu 200" or whatever of course without the quotes, let me know if that works out for you. It seems that you mayhave added the account but left the password blank.

This may also sound stupid (hey, I did it 2 days ago! lol), but did you remember to change your eqhost.txt? I keep forgetting about that little txt file, and got the same error. Either that our your problem is the post above this one.

[Keldramos]

No. The password that is in question is where world.exe tries to connect to minilogin... im not even to the point where im running everquest, so the eqhost has nothing to do with it....

[Hardy]

ahh okey, I read it wrong, my bad. I guess it don't say you tried logging on in the world :P

All I can think of is maybe you mistyped your password in either mysql or db.ini.

fixed it... the loginserver.ini was messed up... deleted it and made a new... works fine now
