how do i setup the button so that i can run it tried what i thought , start-run, c:\program files\sony\everquest\eqgame.exe patchme but didnt work

nevermind got that figured out.

I can login up to server select and the server shows up. when i click on it i get the 1017 error and it says that it cannot connect. :(


if it matters server side im seeing an error stating Unknown Packet: blah blah [opcode 0x0003 and so on tho i dont think that error matters from what ive read

and as far as open ports i did open 9000, 5999, 7000-7100 and 3306 as i saw that was the database so wasnt sure if that needed opening as well

i do not have any firewall software installed either fyi

tried
 

so far i have tried, making my comp DMZ again, tried the no-ip thing and setting it to use my external IP all of which still leaves me with the 1017 error on the client side pc. i can see the server but not login im not sure what else to try here. so close but yet so far away id bet lol. tried changing the router to the linksys one and like you said gave no difference in the outcome. not sure what to try now tried everything so far that i saw on this site. :(

I'm seriously getting stumped. But the 1017 error is usually just a user error somewhere most of the time. Try doing a search for "1017" and you should get a bunch of results. Might want to try this one as well.

possible
 

does it have anything to do with that some people i see have hte eqemulator thing at the loginserver part. ex.

[LoginServer]
loginserver=127.0.0.1
loginserver2=newlogin1.eqemulator.net
loginport=5999
loginport2=5999
worldname=The Test World
worldaddress=127.0.0.1
locked=false
account=
password=

thats just an example of one that i found. i do not have that in mine is that ok???


also i cannot find my boot5zones.bat file do i have one or is that not with minilogin?

other then that to list the things ive tried with no success

Have all the proper ports forwarded, dmz setup on server, no ip, and other things ive read on this site. i have no idea why this is occuring but its getting anoying i would really like to find an answer for htis

That's from an older build I believe, so it won't work. So is boot5zones.bat.

Just use this.

emuconfig.xml
loginserver.ini
If this doesn't work, then you're doing something wrong and I'm all out of suggestions for now.

boo
 

ok i tried that and still getting that error, this is what im doing as far as router ports

Forwarding Ports
9000
7000-7100
5999

all to the servers ip. uhh have no fire walls or any of that slop installed on other pc. i wouldnt assume the problem would be one is running win 2k the other xp pro would it be?

i also setup in MSQLCC an account for the client side pc with that IP address in there.


but other then just copying what you just posted and forwarding those ports ive done nothing else to config anything as far as server side

client side i have hte eqhost file setup to run to this ip on port 5999. anything else i should be doing?

Looks like everything is ok. You installed Titanium, right?

yes i installed Titanium on both pc's. im totally stumped and really wish i could get this working. have you any other ideas on what i may be doing wrong.

1.) Have you disabled the firewall in WindowsXP/2000?

2.) Have you tried the NAT Fix from the wikki? Make sure you use this one. The other one is incorrect/obsolete now.
http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka...akka=RouterFix

3.) Did you use the DRP installer for making the server or did you do it manually?

4.) Can you connect to any public servers from the list?

will try nat again
 

i will give the nat another go but i had tried that last night.

as far as firewalls yes i turned them off.. i used the cavedudes installer for the server. the one from the wik. but yes i will give the NAT another go but i dont think thats it but maybe never know

didnt see a list of public servers



just went back to the no-ip site this is how i setup the thing on there end to make sure im doing this right

HostNAme sorarn
no-ip.info
DNS HOST (a)
ip (Real ip)

hit save or what ever and thats all then i followed the steps in the guide and add'd it to my host file the way it says there

from there i went to every spot in my emu and log that had 192.168 addy and put the no ip one there. and on the client side in the eqhost i put sorarn.no-ip.info:5999 is all that right

so now my emu and login are hte same as the ones you posted but with my no ip in there instead of my local. will try this in a sec

let me know if thats all right

just tried it btw, and still getting that 1017 error. server side it says

New Client from IP 192.168.1.1 port 4835
unknown packet blah blah blah

when it says
Note the dragonnest.no-ip.info is what you need to replace with yours.
Also after doing this use the dns address for your worldserver address as well as you zoneserver address. Replace all the 127.0.0.1 with your DNS address. After doing this bothe people from outside your router as well as yourself will be able to log into server.
by DNS does it mean the sorarn.no-ip.info or my other IP 63.blah

here are my current setup files to make sure there right


<?xml version="1.0">
<server>
<world>
<shortname>minilogin</shortname>
<longname>My Minilogin</longname>

<!-- Only specify these two if you really think you need to. -->
<address>127.0.0.1</address>
<localaddress>127.0.0.1</localaddress>

<!-- Loginserver information. -->
<loginserver>
<host>sorarn.no-ip.info</host>
<port>5999</port>
<account></account>
<password></password>
</loginserver>

<!-- Sets the shared key used by zone/launcher to connect to world -->
<key>some long random string</key>

<!-- Enable and set the port for the HTTP service. -->
<http port="9080" enabled="true" mimefile="mime.types" />
</world>

<!-- Database configuration, replaces db.ini. -->
<database>
<host>127.0.0.1</host>
<port>3306</port>
<username>eq</username>
<password>eq</password>
<db>eq</db>
</database>
</server>

###Your current configuration is as follows:

loginserver.ini:
[LoginServer]
loginserver=sorarn.no-ip.info
loginport=5999
worldname=My Minilogin
worldaddress=127.0.0.1
locked=false
account=
password=

[WorldServer]
Defaultstatus=
Unavailzone=
[ChatChannelServer]

worldshortname=
chataddress=
chatport=

[LoginConfig]
ServerMode=Minilogin
ServerPort=5999

Have you tried connecting to other public servers yet?

where are the public server address i only saw the list of them but didnt see how to connect to them

nevermind i was being dumb ok trying it

yep i can connect to public servers :)

Try that I guess. If not, then I'm all out of ideas. I'm thinking it could be just your setup. I'm sure somewhere along the way, you messed something up. There shouldn't be any reason why you can't connect if you say you've done all you posted and still can't connect.

1.) Revert everything, and I mean everything. HOSTS file, router ports, uninstall MySQL, Perl, etc. - just get rid of it all and delete all the folders it leaves behind. Then re-install it step by step again.

OR

2.) Try making a public server and see if you can log in with that. Make yourself a login account from here and test it. If you can run the server on a different PC and still connect to it via Public Login, then that narrows down the issue if it being a faulty install. Then all you have to do is fix the port numbers instead of doing all of this no-ip crap.

I think by you trying "everything" really screws up more than fixing it. Just keep it simple and try to approach it slow.

ok i dumped everything going through the process again i didnt have .net 2.0 installed when i went through this the last time could that have been the issue?

pry wont get to test this tonight but will get this all lreinstalled and work on it after work tomorrow should i put the ips how you have them in the last post with the emuconfig and the login server?
