are you make a server that is all on one computer or a LAN server?
how are you playing on the server or on a LAN server?
if you dont know what a LAn server it is a EqEmu sever host a LAN so other on your LAN\WAN can log in to your server

Im not trying to make a server for my lan where you have to use the minilogin or anything special like that. Im just attempting to make the generic server that the readme covers.

ok frist of all your ip will be computer like 192.168.2.1 or something like 192.168.1.1 the way to find this out to go in to MSDOS and type IPCONFIG and you should get something like this:
C:\WINDOWS>ipconfig

Windows 98 IP Configuration

1 Ethernet adapter :

IP Address. . . . . . . . . : 192.168.2.11
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . : 192.168.2.1

C:\WINDOWS>
windows XP has almost the same thing take you LAn IP and put it where you put ypur net IP also make sure that your boot5zone has the LAN IP of the computer host the Database and World.exe
also make you everone has there EQhost IPs are set to the computer that hosts minilogin.exe
its got to look like this
*NOTE* theres are from my file use them as you want BUT my Boot5zoon.exe WILL NOT work on windows XP

Boot5zone:
@ECHO OFF
ECHO - THIS BAT FILE WILL RUN THE EVERQUEST EMU AND MYSQL
CHOICE /N /C:12 WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO? 1=PLAY EVERQUEST 2=EXIT %1
IF ERRORLEVEL ==2 GOTO ONE
IF ERRORLEVEL ==1 GOTO TWO
:TWO
CLS
@echo off

if NOT exist spells_en.txt goto NOSPELL

start zone . 192.168.2.11 7995 192.168.2.11
start zone . 192.168.2.11 7996 192.168.2.11
start zone . 192.168.2.11 7997 192.168.2.11
start zone . 192.168.2.11 7998 192.168.2.11
:ONE
exit
cls

:NOSPELL
echo You did not copy the spells_en.txt from your everquest directory to this one. Please do so or zones will crash on startup.
PAUSE

IAnenan · #6 06-18-2003, 04:56 PM

I said NOT a lan server and wtf are you posting that crap for lol. help me damnit

Memener · #7 06-18-2003, 05:28 PM

well if you did what the readme said that i dont know whats going on with your server lol i wish i could make a internet server but in am stuck behind a router that has a fire hope you get it fix G'luck

(yes i know my typing still suck i type to fast for my own good 150 WPM)

also i see you took your IP out good idea lol

a_Guest03 · #8 06-19-2003, 06:02 AM

150wpm? I highly doubt you've been tested for more than 1 minute at that speed. I once got a test to say I typed 750wpm, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's true. I just held down the a key on a fast computer.

Velosity · #9 06-19-2003, 09:16 PM

WRONG!

You all are posting solutions to different problems, the simple solution to his error, which was a BAD SERVER NAME . . . . . meaning he added Server at the end of his server name, or something thats filtered from eqemu

All you have to do is put

This Servers Name

and it will automatically put it to

This Servers Name Server

If you make it like this

This Servers Name Server

and load your world.exe, your going to get the bad server name error.

So simply remove server from your server name
