Multiple NIC Cards

[skaarak]

I'm trying to set up the using the Public Login Server.
That way I can play from my house as well as my brothers who are both tied to the same IP address.

If the other computers in your local network are "Sharing" internet access via the linux box (or the external nic) then you will have to set up each machine behind that to use the external nic as the default gateway and then the external nic should route it to the router.... (If I am understanding you correctly)... I am not very familiar with linux, but in windows to do this you would simply enable internet connection sharing on that nic....

So what do you have below the linux box (internet capable machine)? a switch connecting the internal lan pcs?

The machines inside the lan would set their default gateway to the ip address of the lan side of the server not the ip of the nic connecting to the internet. The linux routing software will handle routing their internet traffic (including login requests). The login server should then respond with the worldserver ip address which is the internal lan ip address of emulator.

My understanding of this is that you need to establish an account on the public login server. You would configure your loginserver.ini file to have

[loginserver]
loginserver=eqemulator.net
loginport=5998
worldname=name to show up on loginserver
worldaddress=your internal ip address
account=server login name
password=server login password

[LoginConfig]
ServerMode=public
ServerPort=5998

The machines to play on it would point their eqhost.txt file to
Host=eqemulator.net

nothing would actually reference the ip address of the internet side nic
since all players will be within the local lan

Not sure how you handle locking the server to restrict who can play on your server. Hope that helps.
