I'm getting the (eqnc->GetState()=102) error with eqemu versions 0.4.1, 0.4.2, and 0.4.3 DR2, tried everything I can imagine. Instead of telling you everything about my setup, I'll just sum up and tell you what is unusual about it: Duron 1.2 GHz, Win98se, 10base2 10mbps lan card with IP address 192.168.0.2 (no extras like routers or firewall, also unplugged lan card and tried fully 127.0.0.1, localhost, and combinations of the two in ini's and eqhost.txt, no change in results), left DNS stuff blank (give me a reply if you think I should try putting some domain name in there, I'd rather leave it alone if not needed) 512 MB SDRAM, Directx 8.1, Geforce4 440mx, playing a completely backed up Everquest folder with all expansions up to PoP (I didn't actually install Everquest from the CD's, but I've played it on-line that way with no problems), last time I patched on official live servers was in December 2002, used the Eqemu patcher a few days ago. Had a bunch of problems I've worked through and solved eventually, but (eqnc->GetState()=102) is my "Eleanor". What really bugs me is when I first tried setting up eqemu 9 days ago I could at least get to the character setup screen and now I can't get past world loading in EQ. Since then I must have dropped and re-sourced my database 20 times. Time for me to give up and play someone's online server. Wish I could remember what I did different. It was before I RTFM. That FM.
Keeping the faith
