Im still not sure what the diffrence is between internal and extrenal ip's are that where showed in tatorial and my computer is hooked up to a router cause i have dsl and there are 4 other computers running on it.. can somone give me a few pointers let me no what i could do to help this.. also when i run world.exe it opens and just close's right away.. im tired been working on this for hours.. let me no whats up

Internal IP = IP on a network . To get it, Start > Run > Cmd > ipconfig
The IP under "IP" is your internal IP

External IP = Find out by going on www.whatismyip.com

Also , remove the spaceS from the end of your lineS in Loginserver.ini ... can cause problems

thats my problom when i do Start> Run> Ipconfig it pops it with a ms-das screen and then closes almost instantly.. any idea why tryed it on my other computer to did the same thing

you have to do start > run > cmd > ipconfig

or "cmd /k ipconfig" ~.~

could also just use 127.0.0.1 for your internal IP addy.

tnx ill mess with um

Not quite .. that's local host , not necessarily your internal IP

i have win98 so some stuff isnt the same but i opened C:\ and ran Command and typed in IPconfig and this is what i got

C:\>ipconfig

Windows 98 IP Configuration

0 Ethernet adapter :

IP Address. . . . . . . . . : 66.***.***.**
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . : 255.0.0.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . : 66.***.***.**

1 Ethernet adapter :

IP Address. . . . . . . . . : 169.***.**.**
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . : 255.255.0.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . :

the 0 Ethernet adapter IP address is my external ip so is the one under 1 Ethernet adapter my internal ip?

*sigh* this is confusing as shit so that dosnt show my internal ip? lol i dont have winxp like most people.. anyone no easy way to tell internal ip with win98 se.. above was all ipconfig showed me

Do this.

Start->Run

in the command line box type winipcfg and press enter.

That will give you all the network info.

This is what it reads

-= PPP Adapter =-
Adapter address= 44-45-**-00-00
IP Address= 66.***.***.**
Subnet Mask= 255.0.0.0
Defaul Gatway 66.***.***.**

-= SiS NIC SISNIC =-
Adapter Address= 00-0A-**-C4-BB-F9
IP Autoconfig Address= 169.***.**.**
Subnet Mask 255.255.0.0
Defaul Gatway= [blank]

Ok the top one is my External ip.. and is the autoconfig one my internal? :?:

I never had to tell the diffrence between the ip's befor this this help is much apreciated..

You CAN use localhost or 127.0.0.1 in place of your internal IP. Unless you are connecting accross your network for zone.exe or OTHER zones besides the ones you run from the pc that runs world.exe, you will not need anything more... so your load5zones.bat could look like this:

Code:

start zone . externalIP 7995 localhost

start zone . externalIP 7996 localhost

start zone . externalIP 7997 localhost

start zone . externalIP 7998 localhost

start zone . externalIP 7999 localhost

I am not sure of the error you are getting, but if your world.exe is closing imediately, you either have bad binaries (read not compiled correctly) or you have some OTHER problem.. To see the output that you are missing because it is closing, open up a dos command window, and type the following (assuming your world.exe is located in your c:/eqemu folder):

Code:

 cd c:/eqemu

world.exe

Then you can see what errors (if any) you have.. Post them here...

Also note, if you ARE running a router, you will probably need to open up the ports needed to run your server through your router firewall software.. Also you will need to forward your internal IP to your external IP, so that when someone tries to connect to it (even you), a call to your external IP (that is what the EQ client will do basically) will actually lead to the machine that has the server on it...
