zonent.exe error

morpheus014 · #1 07-11-2002, 06:26 AM

I just got a cable line to my house, and its going through a router to 3 pc's, but it is causing an error in my boot5zones.bat zone file, but when i go direct to the modem it works fine, so im pretty sure its the router causing the problems. It gives me an internet ip and a dns ip but neither seem to work, anyone know what i should do?

this is the zonent.exe with the error, the world.exe is error free.

Nothing is screwy. you need the latest minilogin.exe from sourceforge. its under the EQEmu release files list (look for Jun1-minilogin)

I thought i had that minilogin, D/Ling the newest one just to be safe..

[EDIT] just checked, minilogin is working, but emu servers still dont =(

Ok i set my router to give me a static IP so that i can do 2 way communications with the internet, ie gaming etc, but for some reason i still get an error in the zonent.exe, the world is booting fine and my server shows up on server select screen. no idea why it isnt working!!

below is world.exe and zonent.exe for the record:
world.exe
==============================================
LoginServer.ini read.
Using database 'eq34' at localhost
Loading zone names & items...done.
Loading guild ranks...done.
World server listening on: port 9000

zonent.exe

[EDIT]: BTW what is error 10061??

check the IP you used in boot5zones.bat Also it seems some routers won't route a request to the external IP back into the lan right. (can't play on your own server, but internet users are ok)

Hmm thats really weird, my server shows up as locked on the server select screen...

Yes thats because no zones are running.

btw, error 10061 is "WorldServer connect: Connecting to the server failed"

This means the zones failed to connect. paste your boot5zones.bat file here so we can see what you messed up hehe..

Big help =P lol. was trying to figure out what IP's you were using. I'm 95% sure your problem is the router. Were you trying to use 192.* in the boot5zones.bat file? if so then you need to your the REAL IP of your computer (not the router/network).
