Problem connecting to own server

[NostalgiaEQ]

Did you set eqhost to 127.0.0.1? 5998 or 5999? What client are you using? is your eqemuconfig dishing out that port (5998,5999)? Did you try to connect to a server on the list called akka... to see if it works on another bare bones server installation?

I set the eqhost to 192.168.1.XXX:5998, since I am using a separate machine and the Secrets of Faydwer DVD client. Firewalls on the machine are off.

The client connects to the login server, as indicated by the text on that machine.

I did connect to another Akka server on the list.

Thanks

Does SoF use 5998 or 5999? I don't recall it should say in the instructions. I would also try using a titanium client and seeing what happens. Also make sure your config and ini file giving out 5998.

It should use 5998, and since it is connecting I don't think that is the issue. 5998 is what all the configs are set to, both server and client.

I actually own SoF, so that's what I need to use.
