Havent read the second page yet (hit reply on first page) but EQemu does work over a LAN with more than one user.
I have first hand experience in this. If you need to ask questions about this email me at
Bently@Blazemail.com.
All clients are to login using the eqemu/eqemu profile, however I logged in using my Bently/bently profile just to be different.
Its damn great fun playing with friends and whacking mobs down in drawds DB (Nicely done btw, although I am not totally happy with the drop tables).
LAN servers MUST have their internal network IP instead of their computers internal IP address (which is just a loop).
Examples, assuming you have a windows based network. If you ICS (Internet connection sharing) installed, IP addresses will be configured as shown below.
Gateway = 192.168.0.1
Client 1 = 192.168.0.2
Client 2 = 192.168.0.3
etc.

Here is a handy .bat file, run it from your emu directory. You cna also make a shortcut to it.

Ok, I read page 2 lol.
DO and DONOT's
192.168.0.x Is a generic IP address that MANY people use for home networks. A Subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 is common also. This is what I consider a secure network, giving this out means nothing as hundreds of people use the same numbers. The ONLY address in my case I should worry about is my gateways INTERNET IP ADDRESS, as this one is most definatly open to others.
In some networks people use 90.0.0.x etc but really it does not matter, as long as its for your INTERNAL IP ADDRESS and not your INTERNET IP ADDRESS.
INTERNAL = Safe to mouth off about.
INTERNET = Not safe to mouth off about.
If you use a modem (standard 56k) then everytime you dial up, your internet provider assigns a TOTALLY different IP address to you in more cases than not.
However, ADSL and other fixed connection lines use a PERMENANT IP address. In this case you should never randomly give out your INTERNET IP to others. Only good RL friends ;P.
In my experience, using 192.168.0.x with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 along with a gateway computer running ICS is the easiest way to go. Be aware however, with connections like ADSL, your provider may charge additional fees for extra users.
Replace ADSL with Cable or whatever broadband service you use if you like, makes no diff.
Glad to see you hanging out here one-zero. You've created a lot of cool stuff for hackersquest.
