Black Screen After Server selection

So I logged in and chose my server and when I tried connecting it had a black screen what does this mean? :?

Did you set the correct port for your client?

Is your desktop resolution set to a ratio that the client doesn't support?

A lot of things it could be..you should always research and post as much information as possible.

I'm having the same problem with my server.

On my computer I created a server had no problems at all with the new guide. I have an underfoot client I saved that I used to log in with, easy enough. was able to create a character and run around and kill stuff.

then I decided I would open the server up to LAN since it worked so well so my wife and I could run around killing. but on her computer with the same underfoot client gets to the server select screen, select the server I created and all goes black.

No problem ill make the server on her computer. so I did. same thing I could create a character and run around killing no problem. tried to log in the server on her computer from mine and same thing black screen after selecting server.

the login server shows that were logging in but after that nothing.

is there anything anyone can think of that would help a old married couple play again??

Did you move everything but the mysql server to the lan address in your config file?

I accually made a MySQL server on each computer thinking it was a client issue but both clients work. I gave static ips to each of my computers and set it up with the proper ip addresses in the config files for the server. when it didn't work I did the same on my wifes computer.
at first I thought it was a client problem but I now have a server made on each computer and each computer can log into its respective server but not into the other. I tried turning the firewalls off but still nothing.

Post your eqemu_config.xml and login.ini files here..hashing out the user/password entries.

here is the config files. thanks for the help so far.

got it all figured out now can log into it on my local network now. the changes I made are in red.

plus I set up a static ip for my computer on my network to 192.168.1.8 to match all my changes and now any computer on my network can log in.

Hope this helps other people just trying to make a private server for home.
