Ok, this is acting like an IP issue, so lets make sure everything is correct...

In my ipconfig
IPv4 Address 192.168.2.2
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
default gateway (which i assume is my router ) 192.168.2.1

Router info
DMZ - is it safe to just set my DMZ to 192.168.2.2 so that all connections are allowed? There isn't sensitive info on this comp, it just hosts the server. Is that right?
Virtual Servers
5998-5999 - forwarded to 192.168.2.2
7000-7500 - forwarded to 192.168.2.2
9000-9100 - forwarded to 192.168.2.2

in the eqemu_config.xml, there is only 1 line referencing an IP
<!-- Only specify these two if you really think you need to. (read: You don't) -->
<!-- <address>some.server.com</address> -->
<!-- <localaddress>192.168.0.5</localaddress> -->

I don't know of anywhere else I need to add or change an IP address in the eqemu files. Any help or further questions is appreciated.

Did you update your server code recently?


U

no. the only thing that changed is I got directv. I even disconnected the directv from my router today and tried it with the above settings... to no avail
