Cannot enter world for the 1st time after character creation (SERVER IS NOT RESPONDIN

[Tharkun]

are you using public login server or your own?

I had problems with EqEmuLogin crashing when the world connected to it... my quick fix was to use the public server.

I will need to work that out, but for now the public login is actually preferred

Hi Fourier - great Series (maths joke - sorry!)
I've had the same problem with Vista despite following all the guides here in the forums (eg firewalls, port forwards, compatibility modes, 'run as' administrator on both vista clients and servers) etc to no avail. The problem is quite bizarre really. On my Vista laptop I can log into other EQEMU sites from the eqemulator.net login server and if I host the server on my laptop I can log in also. But if my wife tries to log in from her Vista laptop, no joy, similarly if she hosts it she can log in to her own system, but then I can't. I can log in to her server if I use an XP machine which would suggest an XP compatibility issue, but as stated above even if I set my eqgame.exe to run in XP compat mode I have no luck, and the fact that I can log in using Vista client to EQEMU servers other than my own suggests a build issue with my server. I'll try your hack above tonight and see how I go. Am in the process of building a Linux server instead to avoid the problem altogether but am having compile issues with that at the moment. At least I can still play using my XP box in the meantime!

try adding.

<world>
    <address>127.0.0.1</address>
    <localaddress>127.0.0.1</localaddress>

    <!-- your other settings.... -->

to your eqemu_config.xml file and see if that does anything for you.

So now you can get internal/LAN and external/WAN clients to connect?

I'm experiencing the same problems as the OP. Every time I try to enter the world my eqemu_debug_world.log spews:

My eqclient log spews:

I know this is the Windows EQemu server section, and I'm running Unbuntu 9.04 64 bit for my server OS, compiled the latest SVN checkout, w/ privatelogin for my login server app.

@Rabayn:
I've tried settings those to the loopback address like you suggested and to the LAN IP, neither seem to make a difference on getting into the world.

I guess the different between the OPs builds and my builds is I'm using PEQdb rev 974 packages and SVN rev 974
