i think the 0.6.0 servers require older versions and a different eqhost. not 100% sure as this was before my time here but I think thats what i read.

I think a 6.0 is something like Dec/2004.

[elfan]

i am on the 6.0 login screen. i see all the 6.0 servers but not mine. I see servers like KMRA and Dark Horizisons.

[Magoth78]

loginserver=eqemulator.net

then,
does your world.exe says it's connected to the loginserver?

[Kikaro]

I did see a 0.6.0 DR2 server on the 5998 login last night, maybe thats yours?

[elfan]

How do you check if world.exe is connected to loginserver?

EDIT: nevermind yes it says it is connected.

And the server name was Elfan if you seen that on the 5998.


EDIT: nevermind again i got it to show up now Thanks a bunch.

EDIT: Ok problems again : P i try to enter the server and all i get is the black screen B4 you get the picture (the wolf, or the Don one or GoD thing) is that a common thing or is me being completly new to hosting my own server just making simple things be really hard?

EDIT: O no its the 1017 error uh o ive seen this one all around too well ima try some things hopei can get this to work : )

[Kikaro]

Yeah it takes a while to load sometimes that is quite common.

[elfan]

Ok fixed the 1017 error but same thing screen goes black and dont go to the lil picture thing. Waiting for like 5 mins is it common for it to take that long? trying to log in on same comp im hosting is that why? My comps pretty shitty also 512 mb of ram and 901 mhz processor.

Oh just found an error in world.exe hmm

"zoneserver setconnectinfo: 192.168.1.100:1164: 4.7.247.16:799" (has that 4 times from 1165- 116
"209.165.244.252L5994: TCPconnection: :recvData(): Error: 10054"
"connection to loginserver: eqemulator.netL5994"

ok this is wierd sometimes when i try to enter my server it had that 1017 error measage and sometimes it dont whats up with that.

[Kikaro]

See what happens when you put the external IP on both sides of the port number in your boot5zones.bat file.

And sometimes if you just booted up your server yo uwill get a 1017 at first, trying again will fix it


*edit*

ohhh also:

eqemulator.netL5994"

there is an L there not a : try that first!

[elfan]

oh so its normal to get that when its first up? And will try external IP on both sides hope it works : ) also thanks very much for the info/advise/help im learning kind of how to do this. Im only 16 not very much experience in this kinda stuff but want to learn alot.

EDIT: ok i tried that IP address thing and now i got the errorin boot5zones thing

the L was my typo i didnt copy/paste that : P i cant right click or ctrl A in the world.exe msdos window thing idk why.

"Worldserver connect: Connecting to the server failed: TCPconnection::Connect():
[Error} worldserver.Conect() FAILED!
[status] Entering sleep mode

[Kikaro]

ok so that wasnt the problem, sorry. And its ok we all learn somehow. Change the boot5zones back but post your loginserver.ini for me please
