Hi when i've been following the startup guide on http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka...=ws70845mysql5 , ive followed every step, but i cant quite get it to work. Whenever i use my start.bat file i get the following error

anyone have any help for me? =)

BTW i am also behind a router if that affects anything

Port 9000 open?
 

If your using a firewall make sure port 9000 is open for world.exe

how would i do that? i know im n00b

u should change those host= lines to localhost as they are referring to your database...

If you're behind a router, then the router has it's own firewall protection for the LAN (for what it's all worth) .
You can turn off your windows firewall. are those files you posted. just as we see them? (xxx.xxx.x.xxx)

here's my working mini-login eqemu_conf.xml
Where you see 192.168.2.100, it has to be changed to the IP of the PC you are using.
where yyou see ax_peq, it has to be the MySql database you are using (peq, ax_peq , eq, etc.)

I don't think you need config.ini, but just incase, here's mine;
Here's me loginserver.ini;
If this helps, then it's because all this has been repeated a bazillion times in these forums, and you need to learn how to use the "search" option in the pull-down menu here :)
<search> is very powerful, and will provide you, as a newbee, with all the answers you need - and is much faster than waiting/hoping for a reply-post.

well, i made the changes so mine are near-identical to yours (changed the ip's/server name/password) but i still get the same error =P.

I took a quick look at your config, but you dont have any of the addresses listed, that you are trying to use.

If you are trying to set up the servers with public IP's and your behind a router / firewall then yes being behind a firewall matters, because you have to open all the ports associated with the server programs in the router/firewall and the windows firewall ( or as Angelox suggested just disable the windows firewall all together). If you are using private addresses assigned by your router for both your server and your client, because you are running NAT then no the only firewall that would be a problem would be the one built into windows. The exception would be if you want someone to connect from outside then you need to open the ports in the router/firewall.

Hope it helps.
