Can not login from external network.
 

So far I have looked around these forums without luck.
The problem is I can login on the local machine that host the server itself but can not login from outside of my own network. Here are a couple of config files, let me know if there is anything else anyone may need to help.

Also, I am not getting any errors in my 3 server windows as they open or while running, part of what confuses me =)

I did check the db and it is set to public..


eqemu_config.xml
eqemulogin.ini
login.ini

If you can log in locally but not from outside networks, that is covered in the FAQ in my sig and is most likely due to you not forwarding the correct ports on your router that the server connects to or possibly a firewall issue.

Cool, I really hope that is what it is.

There are absolutely no firewalls runnin.

Also ports: 5998. 5999, 7000-7500, 9000, and 9080 all routing to this machine. According the FAQ, that should be what is enabled if not more, correct?

Unfortunately neither of those were the solution since they were already in play. What other things should I be looking for?

BTW your FAQ did get me through a lot with the other parts of setup initially.

Another update, I used canyouseeme.org and it shows the ports are open

Your config looks like you are trying to use the eqemulator.net public login server, but you also have config files for using the EQEmuLoginServer which is for private connections. The EQEmuLoginServer config stuff doesn't matter here if you don't have it in your main config file anyway.

For public Login Servers, you don't need to uncomment this part:

I suggest you comment those 2 lines out and it will probably fix your problem.

Updated, rebooted, same results. I am considering the port forwarding more so going to try a different router when I can get back to where my server is.

Even though the forwarding is active for the correct ports, I still have my doubts. Would love an error on server side at this point, would make it easier to isolate ..

so I changed a few things router side to just have all ports go to my one machine but still no go. would it have anything to do with

<http port="9080" enabled="false" mimefile="mime.types" />

in the config?

No, the http service is not required.

So far still no luck =/ sorry to keep bugging about this.
Here are a few log files if they are any help.

If using public server.
If using windows xp open upd ports

Goto Network Connection Properties
You'll Be at General
Click on Advanced

Leave Firewall ON
Click Exceptions
Click Add Port
Click Change scope
Any Computer [Including those on the Internet]
Click Ok

Click Add Port
Click Change scope
Any Computer [Including those on the Internet]

That should now allow other computers
to connect to your system.

I appreciate all of the help, but I was able to ultimately resolve this issue by reloading the database
