LAN plays great, WAN play not so much...

Just a thought.

Just tried it. Still getting the same thing. Thanks for the tip though.

Look in your logs folder and see if there is something in one of the world logs that tells you what is happening.

If you need to post part of the log or a link to dl it. You might want to clear the log folder then run the test. This will keep the log files smaller and easier to read.

I can play from anywhere, multiple people. I normally will even log in at my lunch break. I am using a DYNDNS account so I can probably help you.

<?xml version="1.0">
<server>
        <world>
		<shortname>Classic</shortname>
		<longname>AX Classic</longname>
		<address>fakename.dyndns.org</address>
		<localaddress>192.168.0.10</localaddress>
		
        <loginserver>
		<host>127.0.0.1</host>
		<port>5999</port>
		<account>admin</account>
		<password>admin</password>
        </loginserver>
                <key>make_your_key!</key>
                <http port="9080" enabled="true" mimefile="mime.types" />
        </world>
	<chatserver>
		<host>fakename.dyndns.org</host>
		<port>7778</port>
	</chatserver>
	<mailserver>
		<host>fakename.dyndns.org</host>
		<port>7779</port>
	</mailserver>
        <database>
                <host>localhost</host>
                <port>3306</port>
                <username>eqemu</username>
                <password>mypassword</password>
                <db>peq</db>
        </database>
</server>

In my router I am forwarding

5999 TCP and UDP
9000 TCP and UDP
7778/7779 TCP and UDP
7000/7100 TCP and UDP

Now the reason for the last 100 forwards is because I have 100 static zones.

Thanks Prov-

I'll take a closer look at my ports again based on your config.

One thing I have noticed is that, I'm using port 5998 and you're using 5999. Is that just the difference between the minilogin and the eqemulogin.exe login server method?

My entire setup is based on Vales server setup guide. I plan to take the weekend to go over everything with a fine tooth comb. I appreciate everyone's feedback and tips.

I guess ?

I am using the new privatelogin login server. It puts minilogin to shame.

For these lines:

        
<loginserver>
		<host>127.0.0.1</host>
		<port>5999</port>
		<account>admin</account>
		<password>admin</password>
        </loginserver>

Is there an actual login account/pass we set for this somewhere because I've never needed it for LAN play.

Sure, the Login Server is running on the same machine for my setup. I am not sure about the login and password, I want to say it is stored in a text file in the login server directory.
