connection error

[fireclav]

yes i installed Titanium on both pc's. im totally stumped and really wish i could get this working. have you any other ideas on what i may be doing wrong.

[vales]

1.) Have you disabled the firewall in WindowsXP/2000?

2.) Have you tried the NAT Fix from the wikki? Make sure you use this one. The other one is incorrect/obsolete now.
http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka...akka=RouterFix

3.) Did you use the DRP installer for making the server or did you do it manually?

4.) Can you connect to any public servers from the list?

[fireclav]

i will give the nat another go but i had tried that last night.

as far as firewalls yes i turned them off.. i used the cavedudes installer for the server. the one from the wik. but yes i will give the NAT another go but i dont think thats it but maybe never know

didnt see a list of public servers



just went back to the no-ip site this is how i setup the thing on there end to make sure im doing this right

HostNAme sorarn
no-ip.info
DNS HOST (a)
ip (Real ip)

hit save or what ever and thats all then i followed the steps in the guide and add'd it to my host file the way it says there

from there i went to every spot in my emu and log that had 192.168 addy and put the no ip one there. and on the client side in the eqhost i put sorarn.no-ip.info:5999 is all that right

so now my emu and login are hte same as the ones you posted but with my no ip in there instead of my local. will try this in a sec

let me know if thats all right

just tried it btw, and still getting that 1017 error. server side it says

New Client from IP 192.168.1.1 port 4835
unknown packet blah blah blah

when it says
Note the dragonnest.no-ip.info is what you need to replace with yours.
Also after doing this use the dns address for your worldserver address as well as you zoneserver address. Replace all the 127.0.0.1 with your DNS address. After doing this bothe people from outside your router as well as yourself will be able to log into server.
by DNS does it mean the sorarn.no-ip.info or my other IP 63.blah

[fireclav]

here are my current setup files to make sure there right

Try that I guess. If not, then I'm all out of ideas. I'm thinking it could be just your setup. I'm sure somewhere along the way, you messed something up. There shouldn't be any reason why you can't connect if you say you've done all you posted and still can't connect.

1.) Revert everything, and I mean everything. HOSTS file, router ports, uninstall MySQL, Perl, etc. - just get rid of it all and delete all the folders it leaves behind. Then re-install it step by step again.

OR

2.) Try making a public server and see if you can log in with that. Make yourself a login account from here and test it. If you can run the server on a different PC and still connect to it via Public Login, then that narrows down the issue if it being a faulty install. Then all you have to do is fix the port numbers instead of doing all of this no-ip crap.

I think by you trying "everything" really screws up more than fixing it. Just keep it simple and try to approach it slow.

ok i dumped everything going through the process again i didnt have .net 2.0 installed when i went through this the last time could that have been the issue?

pry wont get to test this tonight but will get this all lreinstalled and work on it after work tomorrow should i put the ips how you have them in the last post with the emuconfig and the login server?

[fireclav]

ok i re did everything and the only lchange i made so far was putting my ip in the emu and login files thats it and i still get that error


i honestly dont kno what i could be doing wrong :(
