Glad you're sorted, maybe I'll pop into your server one day when I get a new home PC!

One problem ive noticed is that it takes forever to get into server. If nobody is playing I will sit there and try to log in over and over and over while being plagued by the message 'that zone is unavailable' any way of fixing this? As long as people are playing it lets you get right in,but when zones sleep it seems they just dont want to wake up lol

Add more zones to your launcher table in the database, sounds like all processes are asssigned to something currently.

This takes affect the next time you run eqlaunch which is ran from the startup script.

Opened up a couple extra ports (7200-7600) and am no longer having issues. It appears world was listening for closed ports,soon as I opened these ports I was able to log in and have had no more problems.
