Did you guys forward the right ports for the server by any chance?

[Blacksabbath]

Gosh, now I am going to look completely goofy. I have no idea how to 'forward the ports'.

I've tried changing the server name, and the server abreviation, thinking perhaps that was the problem. Didn't help. I've been searching the forums on and off for hours, trying to find the answer.

I did read that you have to 'register' the server, or you can use the minilogin. We have been trying to do the minilogin. I believe we have it all set up properly. My husband was helping me most of the day, but he has deserted me for the TV. He got frustrated. I'm determined though.

It's so strange. It shows my connection attempt in the dos box. Yet, when I login, it doesn't show anything on the select screen. And there is no hesitation. Strange thing is, I can type in anything in the login and password field and it does the exact same thing. So that makes me think that maybe the client is not seeing the server....instead of there being a issue on the server side.

The way to do a port forwarding depends on the router you are using.

But basicaly you should have a page in your router configuration called NAT or DMZ or NAT/DENAT...

1st put a fixed IP address for the computer hosting the server ie (192.168.1.1)
2nd In the NAT table put the 5999 port as extrenal port and set 192.168.1.1 as local machine and 5999 UDP as internal port.
3rd Same manipulation with TCP... It should do the trick...

OR

Create a firewall rule to let every request between port 5999 and 8000 to come through (Not recommanded).

To set up a minilogin config to start try this.

thanks for the help everyone, i appreciate the help that some have provided

i will go through and again attempt this

and will then try the public server configuration, as that is my ultimate goal

IMO, it was easier to set up the public server than the minilogin.

OK, here is what I have done. I have switched gears to get this to work as a Public server.

- got a new machine, formatted it, installed XPsp2
- installed Mysql as per 0.7.0
- installed Mysqlllc as per 0.7.0
- installed Perl, and the thee modules, as per 0.7.0
- i did NOT edit the eqemu_config.xml - i left if at the default
- as for finishing touches, i did the following
--> start, run, C:\mysql\bin\mysql -u root peq <and hit enter>
--> the i entered GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON eq.* TO eq@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'eq' WITH GRANT OPTION; <and hit enter> followed by exit
- i went into mysqlllc, went into accounts, chose insert a record, added a user named test, with a pass of test, with a status of 250, i lef the ip part blank since this is to be a Public server
- maps are extracted to c:\EQEmu\maps\
- the spells_us and spells_en are in the C:\EQEmu\ folder
- the MSVCP71.dll and MSVCR71.dll are in c:\windows\system32

I have rebooted the unit after all of this configuration just to be safe.

Once rebooted, I started the Run EQEmu shortcut on the desktop. Two blank dos windows open.
1-C:\EQEmu\World.exe it says Using database 'eq' at local host : 3306
EMuShareMem loaded and Loading items from database: count = 54535
2- 0: sleeping this one has the starting logs stuff, loading server config, main loop, and connected to world 127.0.0.1:9000
plus then it gets into starting dynamic_01 to 5, gives launcher_errors 5 times, then starts each dynamic_0X starting at 1 to 5

- i went into my router and did a static port map on tcp 9000 for the outside world to get to the inside server address 192.168.1.71
-from an external host, i am able to telnet on port 9000 to the legal ip address of the router, and it gets passed through to the EQEMU
- I know this becuase it asks me to log in, i login using the password and username of test and test and it gives me the following EQ commands . . .

-On the PC that is external, Titanium is installed an patched up to current. I have then edited the eqhost.tx file to point to the legal ip address of the router that is hiding this server. And have the port at 9000.


- When i try to connect to the EQ Server, it just times out. It says unable to connect. On the server though, the world.exe crashes.


- i purposely did not edit the xml file as I am now a victum of info overload so was hoping for guidance and am not being lazy, just would like some help

- I noticed also there is no logonserver.ini when you choose public like there was in minilogon, i saw a post on this saying that it is no longer needed after 6.x or something

-anyway, what do you need from me in order to get this off the ground as a public server ? i appreciate your time

i think i a very close !!!
