DX8 broblem, im guessing?

[nuncio]

Hello, first post. just ran across this emu today. so, i set up a server, and cant connect to it or any other server because i get this error as its about to load

EQGAME caused an invalid page fault in
module EQGFX_DX8.DLL at 0167:012679d9.

with some registry dump junk after it.

info:
the game is hosted form a computer on a small LAN, running dhcp and PPoE form a linksys router.

therefore, the router has the external IP (i.e. 65.67.87.108 or whatever), but the computer itself has an internal LAN IP of 192.168.1.102. so, im not sure what to put in the boot5zones.bat, ive tried both, they both connect, and both show up on the gotfrags list of servers. it shows a poplulation of 5 in my server. so, i go to connect, and i get this error, whether i use the LAN IP or my routers IP.

heres a little list of some of the crap going on inside the world command prompt:

do you have direct x 8 installed?

[nuncio]

hi nefarious;

yes, i got that figured out. my desktop resolution was at 32bit, needed to be at 16bit to run the emu.

however, i am still having the problem of not being able to connect to my own server, whether i use my IP or LAN IP. im sure its because of my LAN.
so, anyone know a way to connect through a router running PPPoE and DHCP? i cant run any other way, since i have more than one computer and only one IP.

and to the creators of the EMU, great job.

nuncio, these are my configs from behind a linksys befsr41:

eqhost.txt:

[Registration Servers]
{
"192.168.1.101:5999"
}
[Login Servers]
{
"192.168.1.101:5999"
}

db.ini:

# READ README.TXT!

[Database]
host=localhost
user=username
password=password
database=eq

loginserver.ini:

[LoginServer]
loginserver=localhost
worldname=The Dreaming
locked=false
worldaddress=192.168.1.101
account=eqemu
password=eqemu

Boot5Zones.bat:

@echo off
start zone . 192.168.1.101 9001 localhost
start zone . 192.168.1.101 9002 localhost
start zone . 192.168.1.101 9003 localhost
start zone . 192.168.1.101 9004 localhost
start zone . 192.168.1.101 9005 localhost
exit
cls

this with the miniloginserver works. let me know if troubles persist!

hmm, this is what i get when i tied your settings:

i must be missing something, also, i dunno what the miniloginserver is.

[Zeitgeist]

yeah you are missing the minilogin server. download it from the site and run it BEFORE you run the world or zone server startups.

minilogin.zip

[nuncio]

alright, i must be a total idiot. minilogin worked for me. world came up, connected, so did boot5zones, and um, then what?
eqw.exe opens up a page showing zero servers, so i must hae to use something else to login to my own server. what, exactly, do i use?

thanks for helpin the newb.

[Zeitgeist]

make sure your eqhost.txt is edited properly and that there are no spaces at the end of each line, that has been known to wreak havoc with the minils before=)
