I'm not sure what problems have been happening with connecting from multiple computers. I haven't had any problems connecting from both the localhost and from other computers on the LAN to the server at the same time.
1) Use your LAN IP for all your settings in the config file.
2) For the localhost account in the database, set the minilogin ip for the LAN IP.
3) Set the accounts for your other computers to be whatever their IP is and make sure that they have the server's IP address in their eqhosts.txt file.
4) Set the IP address in your eqhosts.txt file on the local client (the one on the same computer as the server) to 127.0.0.1
That worked great from me and I did see it try to connect locally from a different account once, but I just logged out and logged back in and it corrected itself immediately, not sure if it was just a fluke, a timing bug with when I logged in or what, but logging out and logging back in with the machine that got the wrong character list seemed to work fine for me. I've got 3 different accounts running in the same house, including the client that's running on the local machine. Going to try to get people running remotely tonight I think.
