Okay I know i'll get some flack for this but it is late so here I go. There are somethings that people know how to do better than others. Why do you ask cause they took it upon themselves to figure this stuff out. As for your firmware question I would bet that if you went to your routers website that it would have all the information you need. IF not there then try putting in the model of your router and firmware in
http://www.google.com that is the best search engine out there. As to how to source a db, well that is in the readme and I am sorry but most people don't chose to read it. They think they know it all and then when it comes to help and we say okay did you do this or source the db and they said well I did it this way it pisses the helpers off cause they know it is in the readme. To all who don't get setting up mysql and getting the world and zone files to mesh and actually work read the readme and if that doesn't help try to do a search on the forums for your error. If that still doesn't bring anything then log on to IRC and if someone is available to help(yeah guess what we do have lives outside of EQEMU) then they will help. I see the same questions asked everyday. Several times by impatient people. Here is a hint for you all. The software is ALPHA. It runs but may not run on your system. It may run one day and then not the next. This is the life of ALPHA software. Okay I am done.
