Public Access

Is there additional ports that need forwarded to the server that I am missing for "Public" EQ playing?

According to your config, UDP/7778 would be required for chat channel/in-game mail, but that would not stop players zoning-in and playing, just stop chat-channel/in-game mail from working.

UDP/9000 (world.exe) and UDP/7000-7100 (zones) should be all that you need for getting into a zone. (actually UDP/7000 to 7004 if you are only booting 5 zone servers).

Something is stopping UDP/700x, but since you say your firewall is off and ports are forwarded, I don't know what it could be.

I have seen some posts reference a timer delay for zone load - is it perhaps timing out?

I need to test again later today, turned off SPI filter firewall in the router itself - not sure if it plays any part. I am so close....

There is no timer to delay a dynamic zone from starting. There is a setting in the zone table to make that zone stay up longer.

Ok well I can't figure it out. Guessing its something in router - moving it to a 1GB Fiber connection here shortly - will try popping the ports in ASA and see where it goes.
