SOLUTION to Error: 10060/10061

[spoink]

the news page says this info so you should follow it to be nice and eas to ya here it it make sure you have it

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
edit your eqhost.txt file , just change it to the following:


[Registration Servers]
{
"eqlogin1.eqemulator.net:5997"
"eqlogin2.eqemulator.net:5997"
"eqlogin3.eqemulator.net:5997"
}
[Login Servers]
{
"eqlogin1.eqemulator.net:5997"
"eqlogin2.eqemulator.net:5997"
"eqlogin3.eqemulator.net:5997"
}
The above applies to all players who connect to any eqemu server.

The following is for Server owners ONLY: (People who physically own/run the server, this does NOT apply to you if your only playing on a server.

Change the login server address (under the [LoginServer] block inside of LoginServer.ini) to the following:

loginserver=eqlogin1.eqemulator.net
loginserver2=eqlogin2.eqemulator.net
loginserver3=eqlogin3.eqemulator.net
loginport=5997
loginport2=5997
loginport3=5997

These changes will enabled everyone to play on all the servers, even if one (or even 2) of them goes offline.

this is verry simple if you get error 10060 or 10061 wich is a fail to connect close it and try agin it takes me abut 5 times for a stable connection its all good guys no errors nothing just a simple user error and it apprears when more people are playing ect....

have a nice day everyone Spoink is on his way to play

also note that some routers you have will change your internal ip everyday so if you have a router and gat Error: 10061 or Error:10060 on Boot5zones.bat but not world exe you should go to your routers web address and acctavate the DMZ for your new ip wich you can see by typeing

ipconfig\all

in command prompt wich in windows xp you can click run then type cmd and it will pop up


PS

if this helped anyone let me know guys lol if theres somthing else to this error i missed i will trackit down

Set the IP addresses on the left (the first set) to your external IP, and the ones on the right (the second set) to your internal IP...

Try this; run world.exe and make sure it connects, then open up a dos prompt and type the following, <eqemu> is wherever you put your server files with world.exe and zone.exe, without the < and > keys... :

 cd <eqemu>\start zone . 24.162.26.61 7995 <your internal IP>

use the "." (period) key to denote that it just starts a zone up and the first person to log on will use this and it will boot up whatever zone that they need for that time...

If this opens up a zone window, then you need to retype/redo your load5zones.bat, as there is a problem in it... If it doesnt boot a zone up, then you are having NAT issues... and you need to configure either your firewall, or router to open up those ports for use...

[edit] Also noted that you were trying to boot specific zones instead of the general "." (period) for ANY zone.. Try using the "." istead and see if that will connect you... (in other words dont try and get tricky until you get the basic package running first)>>>>
