Minilogin Help for Newbs

[petersonz]

It is possible to run a second account from the same machine using minilogin.

The only requirement is that the eqemu running minilogin machine is different machine.

It involves doing the following:

1) Make a second IP subnet on both your windoze machine running eq client and on your eqemu server. Do this by adding a second ip address to each machine.

In windoze, do it in the network properites->Tcpip->Advanced

In Linux, do it by "ifconfig eth0:1"

If your normal IP addresses are:

192.168.0.5 255.255.255.0 (Eqemu)
and
192.168.0.6 255.255.255.0 (Windoze running eq client)

then make your secondary addresses:

192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 (eqemu secondary address)
and
192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0 (windoze running eq client)

Now, make a second instance of the eq client directory on your hard disk, and use a different eqhost.txt file for each instance, one on the first ip subnet (the primary one), another eqhost.txt file with the second subnet in the other.

Finally, make 2 entries in your miniloginaccounts.ini. One with the first subnet, one with the second.

Viola. You now can run 2 accounts on 1 windoze machine to the same eqemu server (seperate machine) using minilogin.

Sorry it took so long to reply govtcheeze. Been kinda busy with RL.
