Well, I'm off to bed, but I'll leave the server up for a day or two. Here's a quick refresher course on ZoneProxy:
1. VERY IMPORTANT: put ZoneProxy 1.3 in the same folder as your EQ folder. If you want to set up a shortcut to it, make sure the "run from" folder is set correctly.
2. If you have a router or firewall (like my Linksys router), make sure that port 8800 is being forwarded to your LAN IP address. You can find out your LAN IP address by typing "ipconfig" from a DOS prompt. If port 8800 isn't being forwarded properly, ZoneProxy will NOT work and you won't be able to zone into the new zones.
3. Start ZoneProxy BEFORE starting your client.
4. Start your client and log in as normal. Create an elf/dwarf/gnome, since right now the only way to get to the new zones is to click the PoK book outside Felwithe. Don't worry about getting back; the first zone you enter has a PoK book that will take you back to the gfay PoD lift.
It would be really nice if I could have the server tell a player if the server detected ZoneProxy running or not. Any server devs know if this is possible?
