I just want to play the game. Let me guess, all that effort I went through to set up the no-ip account was unnecessary if I just want to play and am not worried about hosting a server? (That would be par for the course, actually).
Don't know anything about minilogin.
Okay, backing up.
A couple of my friends have been playing on EQ emulators and I though I'd look into it. I found this site and registered, then followed the instructions for setting up. When I ran the game it got stuck, and looking through the forums I determined I had used the wrong path number. So I changed it and was able to get to the server selection screen.
However, when I selected a server I was getting a 1017 error (with fire-wall turned off). I looked through some of the threads to find a discussion on this and in one of them it was recommended to sign up for the no-ip.info if you have dynamic IP address (which I believe I do as I log into my DSL after I turn my computer on and my IP address changes each time).
However, after having done all that, I tried the 0.6.1 server and was abgle to log in, but not in the 0.6.2. This tells me that I need to update my client, but I don't know how to do that either (I posted the question in another thread).
That being said, I have already modified the originally mentioned hosts file, and now am concerned that I shouldn't have (or did it incorrectly which might mess things up later). So the original question still stands...what should I be setting the IP addresses to in the hosts file?
