Connecting to server issues

[cannon]

is the server showing up in the eqemulator login?

[Maelith]

It does, but it is locked even when put as unlocked.

[cannon]

any experience i had with the server being locked is the the zones were not booted up or unreachable. provided you have all of your ports forwarded correctly and your zone window is up and no firewall blockage, i would start there first. can you post your eqemu config file xx out the passwords and stuff. i can look at it. also make sure the internal ip address for the server machine is correct

[Maelith]

Well they're not behind the firewall they're right before it, the ports are also forwarded.

you are missing a lot of the data that is needed. try to copy my config file and replace the ip addresses with yours. you have no reference to zones, or your database.
