Devlor you are a Star *
Kudos to you fo rthe great help you gave me : )
Much appreciated, its working now! I can zone and stuff but still have a few minor problems.
Lagometer still spiking whenever I do anything like cast a spell or view my inventory and sometimes kicks me to desktop or disconnects me so I have to relog.
Also I think the Spawn database we are suing is a bit screwed. I enter a zone and see no mobs then I see the whole zones mobs in a corner somewhere

I ask one of them why they are all facing the wall in a huddle but they dont reply.
If I attack any mobs, the rest of the mobs in the zone seem to get aggro too and I end up with one hell of a fight in my hands hahaha
I have a decent spec PC so I cant understand where the lag is comming from. It can sometimes take a minute to get a response when I use the # command. I have 512mb DDR ram xp2100 cpu and a Gforce 4 card. EQ runs like a dream on any other server, just not my own. Maybe I will move all the eqemu files and the sql database to my server and use it through the network.
Also with this current setup. If I am connected to the net, can a friend connect to my server if I give him an eqhost file with my ip address on it?
How do I load up the PoP zones? I tried #loadzone 1 povalor but couldnt get it to work and couldnt get a guild working either cause it kept saying it couldnt find the guild leader??
