Default HOWTO: EQEMu + NAT

Loginserver

### --- This file tells world.exe what loginserver to connect to.
### --- Leave the account and password field BLANK.

### --- Public Login is un-supported as is LAN playing. We reccomend using the EQEmu.net Loginserver ALWAYS.

### --- NOTE: Starting 6-1-2002, you can no longer use the word "Server" in worldname.
### --- NOTE2: the word "Server" is added to each server automaticly.

# READ README.TXT

REM: ****Read this first!!!****

REM: This file requires your real IP in the place of "YourIP" when you are connecting
REM: To the EQEmu Loginserver.

REM: When you are using minilogin, Replace all IP Addresses to say 127.0.0.1

REM: If you still get errors try using localhost instead of 127.0.0.1

REM:--------------Start-----------------------


@echo off
start zone . name.no-ip.org 7995 192.168.123.1
start zone . name.no-ip.org 7996 192.168.123.1
start zone . name.no-ip.org 7997 192.168.123.1
start zone . name.no-ip.org 7998 192.168.123.1
start zone . name.no-ip.org 7999 192.168.123.1
exit
cls


REM:---------------END------------------------

last, for clients on your local network (internal ip) you need to edit your hosts file. it can be located in ... on windows 2000 (system drive) winnt\system32\drivers\etc and the file name is hosts

on windows xp it is (system drive) windows\system32\drivers\etc and the file name is hosts

the location of your windows drive can differ depending on what you named it at install

my hosts entry

192.168.123.1 name.no-ip.org

ip address domain name

so, if you want the name "name.dns2go.com" to be resolved to "192.168.123.1" when typed in thats what you need to do .. on every client computer on your internal network. people with external ip addresses do NOT need to do this



this is my server config.

name.no-ip.org = external address
your internal address will be diffrant

goto no-ip.orgregister your own dns ... then make the dns point to your external address

also in loginserver.ini erase the following (my config has both lines erased already)

account=
password=

they will mess up your config if you leave em there, on nat configs only

once again for "hosts" file you need

"name.no-ip.org *internal address*
EX myserver.no-ip.org 192.168.123.1

on all other files name.no-ip.org will equal your external address

the "hosts" overrides your computer's TCP-ip DNS settings, so for all internal users when "name.no-ip.org" needs to be resolved .. it will not goto your ISP's dns server it will look inside the "hosts" file you made

with this config i can host internal and external users

hope it helps you nat users =)
