Auto Zone Port Configuration
 

Ok my past problems have all been traced to my ISP blocking zone ports 7000-7500, i have discovered a few ports (enough to currently boot all of my custom zones as static).

My issue is; this auto zone port configuration, i have tutorial set as static under Launcher_Zones with 3724 as the port i chose; i know this port will work.

When i get in game and do a #zonestatus i get that it has assigned it port 7000....so how do i either
a= disable auto zone config
b= force it to use port 3724?

If you guys could help me fix this problem - i would be sooo terribly happy :-)

Unfortunately zone port assigning doesn't work at all. The only thing you can do is assign a range to use in your config file. Instead of using 7000-7500, just set it to 3700-4000, or whatever range you are planning to use.

exactly which config file would this be? or would i need to add my own line under the .xml?

It is the port settings in the zone section in the eqemu_config.xml file. You don't have to add anything, they should already be there. I think by default, they are set to 7000 to 7100 or something.

Well ive browsed through about 20 files including the Config.xml and this is what ive got for it

<?xml version="1.0">
<server>
<world>
<shortname>ICELANCE</shortname>
<longname>ICELANCE - UNDER TESTING!</longname>

<!-- Sets the shared key used by zone/launcher to connect to world -->
<key>some long random string</key>

<!-- Enable and set the port for the HTTP service. -->
<http port="9080" enabled="true" mimefile="mime.types" />
</world>

<!-- Database configuration, replaces db.ini. -->
<database>
<host>localhost</host>
<port>3306</port>
<username>r***</username>

</database>
</server>


I skimmed through quite a few posts, there is another format that includes the telnet line and that was about all i found...i havent come across a format yet which includes Zone server port assignments - could you perhaps post an example if i indeed missed it?

Did few things to the Router, Full DMZ on my IP with a good solid reboot; rebooted the whole network, got rid of old norton and got a copy of Norton 360 2008

Seems that the server is working and is stable for now; will let you know if anything else comes up...thanks for ur past help
