Akkadius Server Install LAN Login

[belvino]

That worked Huppy! Thank you for your Help.

To help with my knowledge since i'm new and incase anyone has same problem.
Why do i leave the .99 off of my Local Ip in the login.ini?
I thought localhost and 127.0.0.1 was the same what difference does this do?


Thanks again for your help. This is my first server to try and get up and going. Making it to where i can connect anywhere will help me a lot.

To make a long story short, Leaving that last octet off (99), it's looking for a network, not the server IP. It's not that "localhost" won't work, it just resolves better,for me anyway.

So now i have it working on LAN i was gonna try to open it up where i can connect outside my LAN.

Before I fixed my issue i was able to connect to the eqemulator login server and be shown on the server list. Now when i load up the server i get an error in the login server window.

[Error] Handle.NewLSInfo error, remote address is null, defaulting to stream.

anyone know where this error is point too? i haven't changed anything besides what we changed here.
*Even tho i could see the server before we fixed the LAN issue it still wouldn't load the world. Now i can connect and play on LAN.


Alternatively Can't i just forward port to the server? I've forwarded the login server port but after trying to load from server select it times outs. What port range can i use in my router to make it all work.

My server loads up and I can log in from my LAN, but everyone outside of my network gets disconnected when they try to connect to the server.
Make sure you have Port RANGE Forwarding setup to forward ports 7000 to 7500, 9000 to 9000 and optionally 9080 to 9080 to your server's LAN IP Address.
