- - Issue with private lan server. (https://www.eqemulator.org/forums/showthread.php?t=33849)

So this is what my .bat file looks like... is this correct?

Code:



@echo off

Echo Starting MiniLogin Server

c:

cd c:\eqemu

start EQEmuLoginServer.exe

echo.

echo.



cd C:\eqemu

start world.exe

echo waiting a bit for world to finish loading...

echo.

echo.

ping -n 10 127.0.0.1 > nul



echo starting zone

start eqlaunch.exe zone

exit

Here is a copy of my log with the error that I am getting now:

Code:

Those are all the files that I'm aware of that you guys need to look at?

I am using a no-ip.org address.... should this be changed to something else?

How do I check to see if something on my system is running from port 9000? I used netstat, and I didn't see anything with that port number.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated... Sorry once more for being a noob :???:

Also, I am not running any firewalls while I am testing this. Both Router and Windows are turned off......

there is so much wrong with that lol... when you are done thinking you need minilogin you can get your server running with the info already in this thread in 5 min.

Alright, I finally got my server to run, only issue I have now... No items.. EVERYTHING else is working great (Many thanks to those that helped me get there).

Any suggestions? I have sourced ALL codes SEVERAL times, and most of them just give me errors like "Duplicate entries", or "Duplicate Column Name" or something to that effect....

Any help?

Check your logs for errors.

if you are getting dup errors then the scripts are not correct. Start with the db_dump.sql in the svn and source 1900+. I finally got my server running today and want to assist as others did for me.r

I got it to work ty...

Got my server up and running. Thanks to all that helped me get here. Now I have an issue where NO ONE but myself can log onto my server, even though it is on the Server Select list.

I have a Dynamic IP Address, so it is always changing, but I read that I can use sites like no-ip.org or dyndns.org that automatically connects everyone to my new IP (When it changes).

I created a no-ip.org address, and I inserted it into the eqemu_config file, but it still won't let anyone log on.

Any help with this please?

Thanks in advance.

Port forward the following on your router:
EQ ChatServer UDP 9080
EQ Client UDP 9000
EQ Zone UDP 7000 : 7500

Thank you for the response sorvani, and I tried that:

http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/c.../OpenPorts.png

But it still won't let anyone onto my server. The ones that try tell me that it acts like it is going to log in, shows a black screen, and then kicks them. Any other suggestions please?

Thanks in advace :)

I don't have my original config handy, but I think I needed to change this to be my dns host instead of localhost:

<tcp ip="localhost" port="9000" telnet="enable"/>

Now, that will block you out because most routers don't allow loopback, so you will also need to edit your windows hosts file to forward your dns to your local machine.

But, not 100% positive if this will be your problem.

I was able to set my server up to see the tcp ip as the server.name.org that I set, but now I am running into an issue of ports.

1. I forwarded ALL ports that needed to be forwarded through both my router AND modem

2. I turned off ALL my firewalls while testing this (Modem, Router, Computer)

3. I went to canyouseeme.org and tested the ports that needed to be open and it came back with :

Code:

 

Error: I could not see your service on xx.xx.xx.xx on port (####)

Reason: Connection timed out

4. I called my ISP and they confirmed that they did not have any of these ports blocked.

If anyone has had any kind of similar issue to this and can help, it would be greatly appreciated. :)

(Once again, I would like to thank all those that have helped me come this far, a VERY VERY VERY big thanks.)

P.S. Should you need to see any of my config files, the one(s) posted above are VERY similar to how they are now, but if they should need to be seen currently, please let me know and I will post the data.

I suggest running your modem in a bridged mode rather than trying to route through both modem and router.

I don't know how to bridge... Any suggestions on this?

What brand/model is your modem?
