error 1017 Grr!

[caravelle]

Im looking for help to log onto my own server, I have followed every instuction, made sure a firewall was not on, and read for more info, if anyone can help that would be great.

[Lurker_005]

Give us more info. What configuration are you trying to do. Minilogin, publiclogin, or the internet?

Post your db.ini, boot5zones*.bat, and loginserver.ini

Also copy and paste the world and zone server screen text.

### --- This file tells world.exe what loginserver to connect to.
### --- do not add an account and password unless a EQEmu Dev member has created an account for you.

I moved the spdat.eff folder to my eqemu directory.
I dowloaded current everquest patches.
I run World.exe, then Boot5zones.Win9x.bat. (im on windows XP)
I went into Mysql bin folder and set EQ as the directory and loaded it.
I made sure fire wall was off.
I run eq in Windowed form.

(every time I get error 1017 cannot connect to everquest login server,
you may need to rerun the patch or wait)

-- I dont have Lucin, so could this be interfering if im attempting to join my own server?

Well i dont see your ini and batfile setup here.

[Lurker_005]

Ssfourgoku, if you got minilogin to work, can play on other internet servers, but can't host your own internet server. Then it is possible your network/internet connection is the source of the problem. That is a bit harder to track down and fix :(

If we can't see the source of the problem, and have run out of suggestions...

Just some config stuff right now for my minilogin attempts (which always fail and come back to the server select screen with the 1017 error):

Yes, I have tried changing all the instances of 'localhost' to 127.0.0.1 and to my machine's router-IP (192.168.0.196) to no avail. I have also killed all firewall settings aside from the router box -> outside internet one when trying the minilogin. (Both XP-firewall and ZoneAlarm). The strange thing is, the 1017 error occurs AFTER EverQuest loads, right when the Character Select screen would load. I have tried dropping the DB, bringing it back in mySQL and running the 'import.bat' file that comes with Lurker's spawnpoint files.. the strange thing is this DID work for a time, and after a failed attempt at getting this working over LAN, it now doesn't, yet the settings now are (as far as I'm aware) the exact same as before.

System specs if it helps:
Pentium 4 @ 1.8 GHz
Gigabyte GA-8ITXE motherboard w/ 256MB ECC-RDRAM
Leadtek WinFast GeForce 2 Pro 64MB DDR
Creative Sound Blaster Live! Platinum
Microsoft Windows XP Professional

[caravelle]

thats the exact same thing that is happening to me, ive updated every file so it should work, could it be becuase I have the latest everquest patch? my friend said it may not work with the latest EQ patch version.

[ssfourgoku]

Mini login works for me and i can connect to others but when i host mine it wont work........... Should i try public login can people go thru there?

[Lurker_005]

Try running you computer without the firewall, JUST for this test:

No firewall/router, just your computer on the net. Your IP IS an actual internet address. Now try connecting to your own server. If that works, you have a NAT/router problem.

if someone only knew about DI-804 routers...
