eqemu_config.xml for Localhost?

There's two lines of thought here.

One is using the public login server and the other is using a private login server.

Though similar, there are still differences in their setup.

Post back if you're still having issues, and please clarify how you wish the server to operate (where 'others' will be connecting from.)

I would like to have various ways to have the server setup to login:

I don't want to rely on the "standard login" to be able to play/test.

Playing/testing on one machine makes researching issues inconvenient.

Having other players on the server would be nice but, I'm afraid I don't offer any type of novelty which would attract them.

This is mainly a hobby for me as I enjoy learning about all this stuff and making it work.

*I got it to work by changing the config file and the corresponding eqhost file.

<!-- Loginserver information. Defaults shown -->
<loginserver>
<host>192.168.15.181</host>
<port>5998</port>
<account></account>
<password></password>
</loginserver>

[LoginServer]
Host=192.168.15.181:5998

This still leaves me with a question.

How can I connect on a LAN or directly with no internet connection?

I tried the same but disconnected the internet and connected the machines together with patch cable and it did not work.

I would like functionality when when the internet is down due to a storm or something else out of my control.

Thanks
