Can't see my server in server selection

[Malignus Wingnut]

First off your eqemu_config.xml.

You want your local address to be ...well just that. When you start a command prompt (cmd) and type ipconfig, it's the one marked IP Address. See below:

Now I'm only assuming that eqs.starspark.net is some DNS that you have masking your external IP address, I know I use one, but if that's not the case then let me know.

Secondly, if Minilogin.exe is running on the same computer as the world server is, then you want the host of the login server to also be your internal IP address as marked above.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<server>
<world>
<shortname>test</shortname>
<longname>Solo Server</longname>

<!-- address has to be specified for minilogin to work -->
<address>eqs.starspark.net</address>
<localaddress>YOUR INTERNAL IP ADDRESS</localaddress>

<!-- Loginserver information. -->
<loginserver>
<host>YOUR INTERNAL IP ADDRESS</host>
<port>5999</port>
<account></account>
<password></password>
</loginserver>

<!-- Sets the shared key used by zone/launcher to connect to

world -->
<key>make up some random string of characters here</key>

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

<!-- Database configuration, replaces db.ini -->
<database>
<host>localhost</host>
<port>3306</port>
<username>root</username>
<password>********</password>
<db>peq</db>
</database>
</server>

Now for LoginServer.ini:

worldaddress and worldname are both antiquated variables that you don't need for proper configuration. They still kick around from the days when LoginServer.ini was what world.exe read from instead of the new xml format.

Secondly, again instead of having your DNS address, you need to put your Internal IP Address under loginserver.

[LoginServer]
loginserver=YOUR INTERNAL IP ADDRESS
loginport=5999
locked=false
account=
password=

[WorldServer]
Defaultstatus=
Unavailzone=

[ChatChannelServer]
worldshortname=
chataddress=
chatport=

[LoginConfig]
ServerMode=StandAlone
ServerPort=5999

A brief little explanation:

The "address" variable in the xml configuration is the address by which clients will contact your server. If you are running simply through your LAN, you would have this as your Internal IP Address as well, but since it looks like you want to set it up over the internet, what you have is correct.


Let me know if that works for you.
