Well, right off the bat, 172.0.0.1 is not a valid IP address... What you're looking for is 127.0.0.1. You need to change 172.0.0.1 to 127.0.0.1 in both the loginserver.ini and the eqemu_config.xml.
Secondly, this section, of the eqemu_config.xml, is incorrect...
Code:
<!-- Only specify these two if you really think you need to. -->
<!--<address>Serving Machines IP</address>-->
<!--<localaddress>172.0.0.1</localaddress>-->
You need to uncomment the 2 bottom lines so it looks like this....
Code:
<!-- Only specify these two if you really think you need to. -->
<address>Serving Machines IP</address>
<localaddress>127.0.0.1</localaddress>
On top of all that, Your port in eqemu_config.xml is 5998 and the one in the loginserver.ini is 5999 -- conflicting port numbers could end up to be an issue.
Also make sure your accounts section has the minilogin_ip field with your IP address in it so the loginserver knows who you are. AND in the the variables table, Logintype should be set to Minilogin vice public so your database knows to look for your IP address. And if all else fails, in your loginserver.ini, there's a line at the bottom that looks like this:
Code:
[LoginConfig]
ServerMode=MiniLogin
ServerPort=5999
You can change it to this if minilogin doesnt work, Ive found this setting to go either way so if you are having problems still after all the other tips I mentioned, try it.
Code:
[LoginConfig]
ServerMode=StandAlone
ServerPort=5999
Threaded Mode
