Oops, come to think of it I have always setup minilogin first then attempted to setup the public afterward. I guess my ports have already been open.

What server is it, Skizoke? I'll try to login and see what happens.

[Skizoke]

Skizoke Test Server

[Skizoke]

Here is the way my eqemu_config file currently looks:

<?xml version="1.0">
<server>
<world>
<shortname>Skizoke</shortname>
<longname>Skizoke Test Server</longname>

<!-- Only specify these two if you really think you need to. -->
<address>74.185.XX.XX</address>
<localaddress>192.168.1.68</localaddress>

<!-- Loginserver information. -->
<loginserver>
<host>eqemulator.net</host>
<port>5998</port>
<account></account>
<password></password>
</loginserver>

<!-- Sets the shared key used by zone/launcher to connect to world -->
<key>some long random string</key>

<!-- Sets the ip/port for the tcp connections. Both zones and console (if enabled). Defaults are shown -->
<!-- <tcp ip="localhost" port="9000" telnet="disable"/> -->

<!-- Enable and set the port for the HTTP service. -->
<http port="9080" enabled="true" mimefile="mime.types" />
</world>

<!-- Database configuration, replaces db.ini. -->

Skizoke, This was in my Titanium log file.

First try commenting these lines in your eqemu_config file:

Second try this, note I don't even have this line in my eqemu_config file:

I don't know how to actually restart the server. I have just been closing the two dos windows. I am just now thinking, maybe changes to my config file are not taking effect if I am not restarting correctly?

[trevius]

Ya, you are restarting it correctly for Windows. It should be taking effect.

Try running an "ipconfig /all" from your command prompt and post that here if you don't mind.

I am still getting the same error when trying to connect. It seems like port 9000 is blocked. Double check all the port openings in your router with what Trevius suggested earlier.

And even though I don't think this has anything to do with it, I'd turn off Hamachi until you get the server working.

Assuming that the ports are open correctly this could be a routing issue, and Hamachi could interfere.

The titanium log file? Where is it located and what is the exact name?

I see zone logs and debug logs, just not sure which one you are referring to.

[Skizoke]

Here is a screenshot of the way I forwarded the ports:

[Sylaei]

It is under my Everquest Titanium folder.
Like: c:\games\eq titanium\logs
the file itself is named dbg.txt

In the screen shot you are just opening the ports in your firewall, you need to foward those ports to your eqemu server. If you forward I don't think you need to open them in the firewall.

What is happening without the forwarding turned on is that my request to authenticate is happening at the router not your eqemu server. The router knows nothing of my auth request and is ignoring it.

[Skizoke]

This is what the router page says:

By default, the firewall blocks all unwanted access from the Internet. You can allow access from the Internet to applications running on computers inside your secure home network by enabling firewall pinholes. Opening firewall pinholes is also known as opening firewall ports or firewall port forwarding. To do this, associate the desired application with the computer below. If you cannot find a listing for your application, you can create a user-defined application profile. (To create a user-defined profile, you will need to know protocol and port information.)

To Allow Users Through the Firewall to Hosted Applications...
Select a computer
Choose the computer that will host applications through the firewall: Howard-Main 192.168.1.64 junkonecom-PC shaunda DIRECTV-STB-DF5BF5EA Howard


Edit firewall settings for this computer:
Maximum protection – Disallow unsolicited inbound traffic.
Allow individual application(s) – Choose the application(s) that will be enabled to pass through the firewall to this computer. Click ADD to add it to the Hosted Applications list.
All applications Games Audio/video Messaging and Internet Phone Servers Other User-defined Hosted Applications:
EQEmu

• Add a new user-defined application
Allow all applications (DMZplus mode) – Set the selected computer in DMZplus mode. All inbound traffic, except traffic which has been specifically assigned to another computer using the “Allow individual applications” feature, will automatically be directed to this computer. The DMZplus-enabled computer is less secure because all unassigned firewall ports are opened for that computer.

Note: Once DMZplus mode is selected and you click DONE, the system will issue a new IP address to the selected computer. The computer must be set to DHCP mode to receive the new IP address from the system, and you must reboot the computer. If you are changing DMZplus mode from one computer to another computer, you must reboot both computers.

On the far left of the screenshot is the server name, it is allowing access to the server on those ports. Does it appear to you it is not being forwarded? If so, I am unsure how to fix it.
