What is wrong here

[coregamer10]

I have finished making my server and it shows up on server selection screen and its unlocked but when I try to log in to my server I get a 1017 error. I have tried a number of things and I dont know what to do anymore. I am using windows XP, cable connection, I have a router, my firewall is truned off. I have a feeling that is has something to do with the router.

You need to setup DMZ host. Type in 192.168.1.1 ( im assuming you have a linksys router ). Type in admin under password leave user blank. And find where to setup DMZ. This disables the router firewall on a certain computer.

[coregamer10]

ok i typed in 192.168.1.1 and it brung up a little thing and I left user name blank and for the passward I put in admin and it didnt do a thing.

[samandhi]

This is NOT an error, but could cost you some connectivity later down the road. I suggest you change this:

[LoginServer]
loginserver=eqlogin1.eqemulator.net
loginserver2=eqlogin1.eqemulator.net
loginserver3=eqlogin1.eqemulator.net

To this:

[LoginServer] 
loginserver=eqlogin1.eqemulator.net 
loginserver2=eqlogin2.eqemulator.net 
loginserver3=eqlogin3.eqemulator.net

I would also NOT suggest putting your pc on the DMZ as it opens you up to all sorts of attacks... If it is your ONLY recourse and you dont care much, then you can do it, and all will PROBABLY be well... Alternatively you simply need to configure your routers firewall software to have the ports needed to run a server open.... And you will need to forward your internal IP to your external IP address (only if you are trying to play on EQEMu, if you are playing minilogin you wont need the forwarding part..) What I think most people are getting confused with is, putting your pc on DMZ does NOT forward your internal IP to your external IP (which is needed for having a server show up in EQEMu loginservers, using a router), but DOES open all of your ports so that you dont have to configure a specific port (or several) to allow traffic through those ports for your server (which you is also needed when you have firewall software, and most times is automatically inclusive with a router)....


Sorry, I didint respond back to your question on the other thread, I have been terribly busy in RL crap......:( Hang in there we'll get you fixed up...

[coregamer10]

So how do I configure my routers firewall software to have the ports open that are needed to run a server. Also how do I forward my internal IP to my external IP address if your sayen I have to do that also to run a server.

And np its cool you didnt get back to me in other thread RL should always come first And thanks a TON for all the help

NP glad to help...

You will need to find the model and make of your router, and post it here. Ill try and look it up and help you along...

[coregamer10]

I have a Etherfast Cable / DSL Router. Its made by Linksys. Its modle BEFSR41.

[nilar]

Hmm you said you have a linksys? 192.168.1.1 is the default for the Linksys. Somewhere in there you should be able to setup DMZ and port forwarding. Check out www.linksys.com.

[samandhi]

If it is what I am thinking, he might not be able to get into his router... Is that a combo router/modem provided by your ISP?

Some companies (like Netrox.net) offer DSL for cheap and they are very good, but they send you a router/modem combo, and they DONT give you access to the router, so that they can access it from their office and fix any problems... This would suck as there would be NOTHING that could be done about this... You could always reset it to default, but some companies will cancel your account or make you pat bookoo $ to buy the router/modem to keep it... Just a thought if you are having trouble getting into your router.. I will try and see if I can find the model and go from there..

[edit] I have found your router. It doesnt appear what I feared. Go to the link below and it will download a .pdf file (the users guide, with in-depth instructions).. You really should read the whole thing as it seems pretty good. It will help you understand better what you want to accomplish, and it should also give you instructions on HOW to accomplish what you are trying to do... Hope this helps you ....

[coregamer10]

ok well the passward was changed and I dont know what it is and I read that guide and it didnt tell me anything that I can do to figure out what the passward is. So I guess I am just shit out of luck then. Do I have to change anything on the router for minilogin or can I just follow the guide and play??

[Cynnamin]

You can completely reset the modem to factory setttings. Push & hold the reset button on the front (with a toothpick or something) for approximately 10 seconds. That will reset the modem to its default state where the password should be admin. Then you can access everything.

If you're on DSL and it's PPPoE, you will need to set up the connection information for your DSL.

[coregamer10]

Well guys the server is up and you can now login to the character screen but wait it never fails a new problem has come up its telling me zones are unavaliable and its sayen something weird in world.exe

and when I made the char it said start zones could not be found or something like that.

So can any of ya help me

[samandhi]

Run world.exe then open up a dos command and change to the directory that has your zone.exe file in it.... then type:

 start zone . <external IP> 7995 <internal IP>

Dont forget the "." (period) and dont use the < and > keys...... Doing this will allow you to see what zone.exe has to say ... post the output here on the board....

Hmmm I am not seeing anything wrong with this output ... did you try and log into your world more than once? post the output of zone.exe when you get the zone not available.. It might be that the starting_zones are not configured correctly or something stupid like that hehe...
