Login Server Local connection

marvandmartian · #1 08-18-2012, 07:41 PM

Ok so after about 5 days of reading everything I could find and tons of trial and error I have a worker server. I am able to log in and play beautifuly from the host computer. Now I am trying to get it to work from another networked computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Eqemu_config.xml file

<?xml version="1.0">

I have tried a lot of different things and been reading forum posts for the past 6 hours with no luck. Can't help but think it is something simple.

Sorry missed what is actually happening. I do believe the networked computer is having problems connecting to the login server. At login I get "Error - A timeout occured". Also when I log in from the host I get line items on the login server that indicate that and no line items are created when I try to log in from the networked computer.

wolfwalkereci · #3 08-18-2012, 08:09 PM

port forwarding perhaps?
5998-5999
7000-7xxx (zones)
9000

marvandmartian · #4 08-18-2012, 08:12 PM

Yes I have all of my ports forwarded. Correct me if I am wrong though that is for outside connections not local right? I also turned off my firewall on both computers. Trying to take everything that might be a problem out of the mix.

What logfiles change when you try to log in from the client machine? I'm not sure which login server you are running (mini or the other one), but I would expect it to log connections.

If nothing is being logged, then no packets are reaching the server. Check that you have the client machine's eqhost.txt setup correctly.

**Uleat** · #6 08-18-2012, 08:25 PM

Try un-remarking your <address> in the emu config.



-to-

<address>192.168.1.10</address>

-and-

change this in your login.ini file:

local_network = 192.168.1.10

-to-

local_network = 192.168.1.

EDIT: This was edited, btw... double-check if you read right after the post time.

I am using the eqemu login server not the mini. I am half tempted to try the mini that will be next if I can't figure this out. And yes the login server is showing no indication that a client is trying to connect. My eqhost file is listed above. I am using the host machines IP plus the port for titanium.

marvandmartian · #8 08-18-2012, 08:28 PM

Uleat thanks for the reply I did try that with no change. Based off of all the posts I have read I was under the impression that was used for external connections. Please forgive me if some of my assumptions are wrong I have read far to many posts over the past few days.

marvandmartian · #9 08-18-2012, 08:31 PM

Went ahead and tried both changes again with no change.

**Uleat** · #10 08-18-2012, 08:35 PM

I run a private on a LAN and have no trouble with the loginserver.

If you're trying to listen to the actual computer IP address instead of the sub-net, you'll only hear traffic from the host computer at most.

---------

Go back to the remote computer and double-check the shortcut start method and the eqhost file.

If the host file is now showing the old SOE live addresses, you'll have to pull that file out of the 'Program Files' directory to edit it, then
put it back in.

marvandmartian · #11 08-18-2012, 08:52 PM

Wait what do you mean? I haven't used the subnet for anything so maybe that is what I am missing?

Ok the remote computers eqhost.txt file is the same as my host computers

[LoginServer]
Host=192.168.1.10:5998

By shortcut start method are you refering to the patchme on the new shortcut that you have to create for titanium?

jdoran · #12 08-18-2012, 09:32 PM

Let's check basic network connectivity. From the remote machine open a command window and type

telnet 192.168.1.10 5998

If the server is running, then the login server should log the connection
in login_xxxxx

New world server connection from <ip>

**Uleat** · #13 08-18-2012, 09:34 PM

Yes on the shortcut, good on the remote eqhost file.

Back to your eqemu config..

<tcp ip="localhost" port="9000" telnet="disable"/>

-to-

<tcp ip="192.168.1.10" port="9000" telnet="disable"/>

See, if that does it.

marvandmartian · #14 08-18-2012, 09:50 PM

Ok might be some progress. First I should say I am using windows 7 on both machines so telnet wasn't even turned on. I turned it on and used the command you gave me. the result on the login server was:

[Network] [08.18.12 - 18:45:30] New world server connection from 192.168.1.20:49841

I also made the adjustment to my eqemu_config.xml file you suggested but still unable to login and still not showing anything on the login server when I try.

marvandmartian · #15 08-18-2012, 10:21 PM

Wow I found my problem. Apparently I had the smallest of typos in my client eqhost.txt file. It was:

[LoginServer]
Host=192.168.1.10.5998

instead of:

[LoginServer]
Host=192.168.1.10:5998

Just logged on from a client machine for the first time.

Thank you very much for your help Uleat.
