Dumb Question about telnet
 

Hopefully someone can help me out here...
I'm trying to figure out what the UN/PW is for telnet connections to my EQEMU server...

<!-- Loginserver information. Defaults shown -->
<loginserver>
<host>someone.dyndns.org</host>
<port>5998</port>
<account>ISTHISMYTELNETUSERNAME?</account>
<password>ISTHISMYTELNETPASSWORD?</password>
</loginserver>

Is the above information what I'm after out of the eqemu_config.xml file? Or is it somewhere else that I should be looking?

Thanks,

Basically I'm trying to get this working:

But I'm getting a few PHP errors off it. I am pretty sure the problem is it doesn't like the User/Pass combo I'm giving it in that script however I can't prove that. My attempts to login to my server on port 9000 with windows telnet client though have all failed. The username field seems to echo every keypress twice so I dunno if that's my problem there or something else. If anyone has any ideas on this or can point me in the right direction I'd really appreciate it.

It's in your Accounts Table, you setup your username and pw there..

Then do a Start - Run - Telnet 127.0.0.1 9000

(assuming it's on the machine your trying to telnet too otherwise replace that IP with the correct addy)

You can go into your database and create a new user for the telnet account too if you like by running a query like this:

You will want to change the "TelnetAccount" to whatever name you want and of course the Password to whatever password you want to use.

Sweet thanks KingMort. That helped quite a bit. The other half was I'm pretty sure Local echo was causing issues. When I tried it through HyperTerminal I had no issues. The DOS version of telnet though for some reason I kept getting invalid username/password So I'm guessing local echo issue was to blame.
