Having issues connecting

[mrhodes78]

Hi all,

I'm having a similar problem, which I suspect has to do with my dynamic IP address...(forced to use AT&T U-Verse for my connection for now...oy.) I tried port forwarding on my router and my Windows firewall, using the direct IP address for setting up the mySQL user, and nothing seems to work. I'll keep trying but I'm running out of ideas.

My backup plan was to try to download a local copy of EOC to use directly on my machine here:

https://github.com/Akkadius/EQEmuEOC

Unfortunately, this download link:

Seems to be broken...is there a mirror anywhere?

Thanks a lot!

EDIT: Good lord. I tried for hours last night, but I just got it to connect via Akkadius' online tool. Was a stupid mistake...I did NOT have port forwarding on my router setup properly as I thought. I had to make sure that I had the port/allowable IP forwarded specifically for my desktop via the router. First time using this router...so I'll blame that. This thread was helpful. Thanks all.
