Updated Windows Server Setup Guide

**UPDATE** Fixed it myself =)

Step 10.) I'm very frustrated because now I have a .SQL file sitting on my desktop and still no way to either log in or create an account. Some instruction on how you can possibly use a rogue .SQL or what the heck it's for would be excellent.

I've been gone for about 2/3 years and so much has changed, this used to be incredibly easy.

Assuming you're using HeidiSQL as instructed in the guide it is the same as the part of step 9 concerning importing a sql file.

Make sure the peqlogindb is the active database and import the file. You'll probably want to edit the username/password/e-mail from the default before you do so. Step 11 is the same, you want to save that to a file with your information in it and then import it.

There's probably a way to just paste it into a query window in HeidiSQL and execute it, but as I don't use that program I'm not sure what the exact steps would be.

If you don't have a Ls account please get one or more if needed! Goto http://www.eqemulator.org/forums/pro...do=loginserver Note: you should see a numbers all numbers xxxxxx wright it down so you can remember them. Goto peq database account under the users name you'll see Isaccount_Id put in the xxxxxxx numbers from eqemulogin server Change veriables in database to Public Must use EQEmuLoginServer.exe for this to work online. Look for your Server to be listed at http://www.eqemulator.org/index.php?pageid=serverlist Login using your client change your eqhost.txt eqemulator.net:5998 put in your lsaccount you just created username and password into client and login so you can see all the other servers on the list and you should see your server online. Download Navicat 8.xx http://www.navicat.com/download/navicat8_mysql_en.exe Navicat is used for editing your peq database the softwear your talking about is old out dated use Navicat 80)

If other people outside of your LAN are trying to connect, their eqhost.txt file should read:
Quote:
[LoginServer]
Host=server.dyndns.org:5998
server.dyndns.org should be the name of your dyndns service.

ive been trying to get my friends to connect to my server.

they can connect when they are in my house. they cannot when they are their houses

they get disconnected back to the log in screen when they are trying to connect.

here are my IPs
INTERNAL IP address: 192.168.x.x
INTERNAL IP address: 25.46.53.1xx
ROUTERS IP Address: 192.168.x.x
EXTERNAL IP address: 75.114.228.xx

do i have them type in one of my IPs like you said here?

so should their thing say

Host=25.46.53.1xx ?

This thread is over 2 years old... MANY things have changed since this was active.

The 'Host=server.dyndns.org:5998' reference is set to indicate that you are running a private login server AND are using a url translation service to
provide a stable address for your dynamic isp address.


The only way an external computer will be able to communicate with your internal one is if THEY use the EXTERNAL IP address: 75.114.228.xx. Just
make sure that your full address is filled in for the clients.

You will need to use the LAN address for the computer that is running the server. 192.168.xx.xx is the appropriate ip..not the router's, but the computer's.

You will also need to ensure that port-forwarding is enabled on the router so that packets received at 75.114.228.xx will be 'forwarded' through the NAT
and received at 192.168.xx.xx.

The proper addressing and port-forwarding is necessary regardless of whether running a private login server or not.


IF you are not running a private server, then the clients need to point their logins to the EQEmu login server..but, your server still needs to be setup to
receive packets from the outside..from both the eqemu login server and the clients. Port-forwarding and configuration are the keys here.

This thread is even older than the one in the second link...

And we haven't been on '.net' for an even longer time...
