Blasted 1017 help please

[Sylint]

Hey guys, I was wondering if you could help me... I have read quite a few posts on the board to try and get this error straigtened out but I have come up empty handed. If someone could steer me in the right direction it would be highly appreciated.

My problem is that I try logging into my server and it keeps giving me the dreaded 1017 error, I'm not sure what to do.

I've followed all the guides/pieced together information on the boards to get the server working and everything seems to be in working order.

Heres the specs:

Well if someone can help me figure this all out it again, would be greatly appreciated. Also if someone could help me figure out how to get everything going good, for example moving npc's, working merchants, droppable loot, etc. It would be highly appreciated as well and would benefit you all as another server would be up and running.

Thanks for your time

check your router settings

[ndnet]

Have you tried these?

Start -> Run -> "cmd"

cd C:\eqemu\EQEmu Release

world adduser YourEmuLogin YourEmuPassword 200

And if that doesn't work:

Run mysql.exe and execute the following commands:

use YourEQDatabaseName;
INSERT INTO account SET name='YourEmuLogin', password='YourEmuPassword', status=200;

What puzzles me is why you're trying to use eqlogin1.eqemulator.net as your login server when your IP is a local network address. I'd imagine it would show your server on the server selection, but only those on your local network would be able to access it, and it would be using their board name/passwords. If you're going to run a private server, perhaps you should just use minilogin and set up seperate accounts per network IP.

[Sylint]

I tried the stuff you suggested and everything has already been done. It said there was a duplicate key in the database when I tried to create an account through mysql. The goal was to have a public server for everyones perusal. As for network router settings... can't really do that as I am using the universities internet atm. If anyone has any further suggestions on what could be causing the problem please post here it would be highly appreciated. XP firewall is off btw as well.

Thanks again,

Sylilnt

That might be the issue right there. I know of dozens of cases where it was the persons school who was blocking them from hosting.

I'm not 100% sure that zone.bat will run as:

start zone . 192.88.124.233 7995 127.0.0.1
start zone . 192.88.124.233 7996 127.0.0.1
start zone . 192.88.124.233 7997 127.0.0.1
start zone . 192.88.124.233 7998 127.0.0.1
start zone . 192.88.124.233 7999 127.0.0.1
exit
cls


Seems like you're torn between local play and net play. Do you want this as a public server or private??

If I remember, the setup for that was:

start zone . YourIP 7995 YourIP

I'm pretty sure it still needs to be your REAL IP in both instances. One was the IP of zone.exe and the other was world.exe. (in case they're different IP's). If you're not using minilogin, that likely won't work.

Outside of that, nothing caught my eye as an issue. If changing your boot5 doesn't work, I'd suggest going against the grain and setting the Emu up for local/private and seeing what issues you have. If you change everything over to 127.0.0.1, it still loads up error-less, and you still have issues connecting (1017) then I'd start wondering about the client.

Your eqgame.exe is patched to live, correct?

[Sylint]

Thanks for responding. Yes I would most definately like this to be a public server as this would benefit the entire EQemu community if I can get this thing running correctly.

When you state that the ip placed in zone.bat has to be the REAL IP... do you mean the external ip (the one that everyone on the internet sees) or internal (the actual ip).

I'm not using minilogin atm, how would you set that up?

EQ is patched to EQlive currently.

I am going to try making this a private server later today and I'll let you know how that goes.

When you state that the ip placed in zone.bat has to be the REAL IP... do you mean the external ip (the one that everyone on the internet sees) or internal (the actual ip).

Both actualy

start zone . External 7995 Internal
