In the server config file, wherever you see 127.0.0.1, replace it with your eq server's IP address (192.168.0.2?). If you look around here a bit, there was another person who was having problems with that and I think that's how that was fixed.

Remember that you have to create a user account (in the accounts table on the database) for the user with a password (EQ don't like when you don't have a password) and the IP address of the client computer specified.

I really wish they'd allow you to have someone connect from anywhere (like entering *.*.*.* or even 192.168.*.*) instead of making you enter the IP. That's a huge pain in the hiney, to have to know the IP address that your computer will *always* be at.

Ok, Thanks I finally got my client to connect, but I'm faced with another problem. I know everyone is getting disconnected on death right now, but whenever I'm logged in on my server computer playing, and I log in with a character on my client, the other computer gets diconnected and when it goes back to the character select it shows the other computers account, not the one I logged in with. This is the same if I log in from the server while the client is in the game. I was able to get in the game at the same time, and I even joined a group with the other character, but as soon as I zoned it disconnected the client.

I have not gotten this far yet...I will try tonight and see if it does the same for me.

I am having similar problems still. When I first try to log into the server, it hangs at the "Logging into the server. Please wait..." screen. I then close EQ and restart, then I can log in just fine.

After that, every time I zone world.exe has to close and it brings up the screen wanting me to "Tell Microsoft." On a couple occasions, when I try to zone, it gives me the message that zone.exe must close.

I haven't gotten any errors that caused it to close, It just disconnects the other computer when I zone, then at character select it shows the other computers account. Once I log out and back in, I can get into the game again until someone zones, then it will disconnect the other computer again. /shrug

Are you using multiple accounts or the same account to login? It might be a safety issue where you can't login twice to the same account. Just a guess. You might also want to space out your 'zoning' activities.

i have separate accounts made for each computer, one has account name test, and ip 192.168.0.1, and the other has act name emu and ip 192.168.0.3

Using Minilogin (cant get public to work at all)

I can run the world local (server and client on the same box) and create a player and get in and play

If I have a client on another box, (and have added a login in my eq SQL database name, password, 250 gm status)I have the set up so the client can see the server in the server list when logging in, and when they connect it hangs...and one the server side it shows a new connection from IP

the cleint will time out and boot back to the login screen, and the server will show an error in the log ( something about unknow OP code and unknown packet...I have it written down at home)

So I cannot not get any of my frineds connected to this server :-[

Right now, it sems that 0.7.0 doesn't *exactly* work with Titanium/Minilogin combination outside of on the same machine. Meaning logging in from another PC or using the public login server. World just doesn't seem to understand the opcodes. It runs fine local, but after a while tends to eat up memory.

It seems i've figured out my problem with getting disconnected when one computer zones. I changed the ip of the client computer from 192.168.0.3 to 192.168.0.101. The host ip is 192.168.0.1. Apparently having the client set to 0.3 was causing a problem , once I changed it to 0.101 and changed it in the account settings, everything works now. I dont get disconnected when zoning anymore and now it doesnt show the other computer's account when I log in.
