Server problems

[Angelox]

The speed is ok, I'm running it with a P3 870 MhZ - but I think you may have too little ram. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I inderstood the zones load up into memory, and need a lot of it. I have 1.25 GB of Ram in mine. Probably your 256mb is getting mostly ate up by your XP OS.

Email me when you can, I have more help for you, but this freaking forum is not letting me make long post

I know I already emailed you this, but now I'm testing to see if I can post again,
and this might be of interest to someone else

You could try this but like I said, 256 mb is probably way to little ram
Run MSCONFIG, go to startup and services tabs, disable as much as you can there. I do this anyways, as it helps speed up my system and hopefully free up more ram. here's a starting point for this,

Also, for example, if you have a router, then you don't really need the windows firewall, router has it's own firewall, disable it in MSCONFIG.
Everquest recomends you use at least 500 mb of ram to run the client, so you know if you run the client on your EQEMU server machine, it's going to hog up you memory also. You should try login from another machine in the LAN .

edit;
I got rid of all my parenthesis, and it finally posted.

Toldya them parenthesis were the problem. Anywho, I have 256 SDRAM on my server, and it runs peachy, even if I'm doing Java programming (which, as we all know, chews through memory with a compiler) while waiting to regen. Yeah, my RAM sucks; it's not even DDR, and now they've got DDR2 and whatnot...accepting RAM donations, no live animals please =P...but seriously, my computer has a faster processor than that, but it is pretty crappy when it comes to RAM. Try the hilted version of the server out if you haven't. My server failed to work until I used it.

Have you updated before? What version EQEMU did you have before you updated? did you read the changelogs and add sourced the lines mentioned in them?
