duel clienting with minilogin

[tkd1991a]

Is it possible to Duel Client while running Minilogin??? I want to run two clients of EQ from my computer but every time I login no matter my user name it logs me into my default account,,,, I'm guessing this is do to minilogin identifying me via my ip address..... is there any way around this?

Try it out with a extra NIC or make a VPN conenction to your EQemu server. (I am testing the VPN atm. But im strubling with the audentication to my server.)

The biggest problem I am running into with even the low budget VPN built into XP pro is the need for a certificate server. I am trying to avoid all the extra ancillary services. I am trying to utilize a VPN solution for the few non-LAN people that I want to play on my closed server and be able to utilize mini.

If anyone comes up with something in the mean-time, give me a punt into the right direction.

Ok here comes some explanation of my VPN connection from outside LAN computers to your server.

See MS link for more info about VPN: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/com...uy/cg0101.mspx

I have installed EQemu on a W2k server with Servicepack4
Installed Routing and Remote access and setup a VPN server.

Have forwared port 1723 to my EQemu server and let TCP protocol 47 past my USRobotics Firewall (not port 47)

When VPN conenction is build up the VPN client PC have basicly the same rights as a Local workstation on your LAN.
So watchout with share's and private information on your workstations.

The VPN client can ping my EQemu server without any problem, even shares can be access. Affortunaly when the VPN client starts the EQ client and he try to joins the server we get a client crash. (Server timeout)

We use the same client and have tryed to change the host and eqhost files with DNS names and IP adress but none of this worked.

I dont have much time for testing but it think that its a routing problem.
I see the VPN client joining in World.exe but then he does nothing. So i need to try to configure manual the routing table on VPNclient and my server.

The next problem is that the VPN client is a workstation of a friend of my who lives 3 miles away and we have tested it via the Internet. The friend of my doesn't know much about routing so i spended allready a few hours on my mobilphone to give him instructions.

For so far my experience with outside LAN VPN connections.


VPN on a LAN didnt work for me because EQclient alway's takes my non VPN adress to make a conenction. I need to figure out if there is a way that EQclient takes my VPN IPadres instead of my main IPadres.
