The only thing I can think of to try is to start from the beginning. Make a new DIR and copy the compiled files into it, along with other needed files. Start from scratch.

Also might wanna check with ps -ax to see if you possibly have multiple copies of the world server running.

I would be led to believe that it would interfere in anyone else's ability to connect and play.

Am installing to a new, clean dir as we speak and killing the current server... cross fingers.

Question:

You mentioned multiple world servers..

ps -ax shows me this:

./world
then the 5 zone servers
then 6 instances that deal with mysql
and then 5 more instances of
./world

If I kill the first world, it kills all the others though.
Is this how it should be?

Installed and started error free from a clean directory.

Still the same:

Ugh. At least everyone else can play
:confused:

WOOHOO
 

I could soooo hug you, btuch.. Thanks for all of your input today, its been so very helpful (You too Trumpcard, last night!)

Here's what I changed, for the reference -

In my windoze tcp/ip settings, I changed the gateway to be the external IP rather than the internal of the linux box.

Added the line into the windows hosts file.

Voila... on top of a clean directory. I'm in!

Tell ya what.. I owe ya a drink.. or maybe two :D
Thanks again.

The world server will spawn multiples of itself...thats ok. I meant kill all the world servers and zone server prior to starting a new one. I forgot to do that a few times.

Thats about all the help I can offer. If I think of something else I'll post it ;)

gateway set to external ip?

DOH!

Glad ya got it working.... ;)

External IP? Hmmm thats wierd.

Whatever works, right? :)

I'll check later tonight, I dont remember which gateway option it was.. if it was the one on the initial tcp/ip properties box, (under ip and netmask) or if it was the one on one of the tabs.. I hate windows xp anyway...

It wont let me play with lan settings from the lab pc here in class.. lol

Thanks again guys, you're awesome! (btw, drinks on me!) :D
