Someone please help onnecting to Gotfrags server

[ninja_looter]

Well I went backwards thru the readme. Im using 0.3.0

I am able to connnect locally using minilogin to play, but I can not seem to figure out what I am doing wrong to allow other people to log onto it thru the gotfrags login.

I am using a DLINK router, and it runs DHCP. My local IP address is 192.168.0.115 I have edited my router to allow this local IP address to sit in the DMZ. So it is wide open!!l

Here is my config files...

DB.INI read...

[Database]
host=localhost
user=****
password=********
database=eq


Loginserver.ini reads... I changed my outside' ip to a fake one =P

[LoginServer]
loginserver=eqlogin.eqemu.net
worldname=ThisEVILServer
locked=false
account=
password=
worldaddress=63.76.88.235
loginport=5999

Boot5zones.win9x.bat reads.... I am running the server on windows 98 - and once again my outside IP is changed to a fake one, aand it is the same as in Loginserver.ini..

@echo off
start zone9x . 63.76.88.235 7995 63.76.88.235
start zone9x . 63.76.88.235 7996 63.76.88.235
start zone9x . 63.76.88.235 7997 63.76.88.235
start zone9x . 63.76.88.235 7998 63.76.88.235
start zone9x . 63.76.88.235 7999 63.76.88.235
exit
cls

I boot in this order
World.exe
Boot5zones.win9x.bat

and finally my EQW - running in 16bit color

I can see my server listed, but I, and everyone else gets a 1017 error when trying to connect. I have read the message boards completely and there is not any solutions. Just the same problem, and Dead threads. I'm sure someone has the answer.

I can also login to `everyone elses server just fine..

I h,ave also looked in dbg.txt in the Everquest directory and I noticed it reads this
