Server Connection Issues

Actually, "some long random string" is also a long, random string... so no, you don't really need to change that unless you are going to be making your server public.

What that does is basically act like a password so unauthorized zones can't join your server.

You don't need an account or password there, but I think your eqhost.txt file needs to say the same as what's listed there.

Or, try making "host" your IP address (the 192.168.254.20) instead of the dns name.

nope, no good there either.

Hmm.... my eqemulogin.ini doesn't have the "loginserver=localhost" line.

Worth a shot to try removing it? Can always just put it back if that doesn't work. Also, if that doesn't work, try changing it to eq.toadville.org since that's what your eqemu_config.xml says.

As well, I have "localhost" under "host" here:

<!-- Database configuration, replaces db.ini. Defaults shown -->
<database>
<host>eqdb</host>
<port>3306</port>
<username>[removed]</username>
<password>[removed]</password>
<db>PEQ</db>
</database>

Try making that eq.toadville.org as well... or localhost (not sure which).

Also, try every combination of these things just for kicks

Edit: I also edited out your DB user and password

[toad]

does your eqemulogin.ini have host= instead of loginserver= ? you gotta have some pointer as to where the login server is followed by the port?

i can't change the part under the DB section because my DB server is NOT local host, it is a seperate server. I could try the IP address, but since i am able to successfully login to the login server, i MUST be hitting the DB properly because i'm being authenticated.


edit : while root is my user name (no big surprise there) obscured is NOT my password

[Chanus]

This is my eqemulogin.ini:

Port=5999
DumpPacketsIn=true
DumpPacketsOut=true
Trace=true
DatabaseServerName=localhost
DatabaseCatalogName=peqlogindb
DatabaseUserName=[removed]
DatabaseUserPassword=[removed]
OPCodePathAndFileName=login_opcodes.conf

[toad]

removing the host line didn't work either

[Chanus]

Hrmm. I am totally out of ideas :|

That doesn't necessarily mean anything, as I only know so much.

But crap.

Try adding this line to the c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file of the PC you are running the client on:

192.168.254.20         EQ.Toadville.org
