Here is what i have 3 good computers... and 1 box ( 2.8 ,1 gig ram ) that I can load the EQ program and files to.
1# Question is what opreating system should the box have installed on it?
2# Is there guide on how to set this up? I see mostly for going through to EQemu sever .
Any help i could use as I have some progaming but very very rusty on it (from old Amiga days )
Thanks,

Windows XP will work fine as server for you - i always use one machine for a server and clients log in via the the LAN clients.
I've had no problems even with P3 machines, so you could probably save your best PC's for the clients..

The easiest way to get started would be to go here:

And download Cavedudes installer. Notice you can choose one from any of the three current database - Which one is better? it's all a matter of what you want , you can research before you choose.
Once you have all this running - then you can go and look for updated database, executables, etc, source them in. If this doesn't work for you, I can show you other methods - but they will be more complicated. Cavedudes installer is what got me started in all this, and I was just as green as anyone else when I started.

Find out exactly where CVS put the files from the database. I belive they are going to C:\peqdb\peq_db. Simply search them up in Windows explore to find out where they are. When you load up cmd prompt, navigate to that directy and type in DIR. This will listt all the files in the part of the directory tree you are in. You should see several .sql files. Once you see them type in the mysql -u root -p command and then follow the rest of the guide doing create database peq; ect.....

eqemu 0.7.0 guide This guide worked for me quite nicely, i got my server running in 30 minutes (not taking into consideration the fresh titanium install)
