Running new server

[DrizztBanrae]

Ok I followed Jez's guide and got to the last steps of running world.exe and boot5zones.bat....ran them both and they flew by...am I doing everything correctly? also what do I do next? (Sorry learning as I go)

[samandhi]

What do you mean "Flew by"? Post the contents of your loginserver.ini, db.ini, eqhost.txt, and boot5zones.bat........

[DrizztBanrae]

Srry for the lame term I meant when the prog ran it opend and closed to fast to see any information, Heres my Loginserver.ini:


### --- This file tells world.exe what loginserver to connect to.
### --- Leave the account and password field BLANK.

### --- Public Login is un-supported as is LAN playing. We recommend using the eqemulator.net Loginserver ALWAYS.

### --- NOTE: You can NOT use the word "Server" in worldname.
### --- NOTE2: the word "Server" is added to each server automatically.

# READ README.TXT

My db.ini:

### --- This file tells world.exe what computer mySQL is on. Host should

My eqhost.txt:

[Registration Servers]
{
"eqlogin1.eqemulator.net:5997"
}
[Login Servers]
{
"eqlogin1.eqemulator.net:5997"
}

And my boot5zones.bat:


REM: ****Read this first!!!****

REM: This file requires your real IP in the place of "YourIP" when you are connecting
REM: To the EQEmu Loginserver.

REM: When you are using minilogin, Replace all IP Addresses to say 127.0.0.1

REM: If you still get errors try using localhost instead of 127.0.0.1

REM:--------------Start-----------------------
@echo off

if NOT exist spells_us.txt goto NOSPELL

start zone . YourIP 7995 localhost
start zone . YourIP 7996 localhost
start zone . YourIP 7997 localhost
start zone . YourIP 7998 localhost
start zone . YourIP 7999 localhost
exit
cls

:NOSPELL
echo You did not copy the spells_us.txt from your everquest directory to this one. Please do so or zones will crash on startup.
PAUSE

Any idea on how to fix this 1017? still lookin thru search results
the x's are really represented by numbers in the IP

[NarutoLegacy]

Fix EQHost.txt, it may be part of the problem, I forget what to change it to, but search.

[DrizztBanrae]

Still getting 1017 .....dunno what else to do I can connect to my server if I change all IP's to localhost tho...

[samandhi]

If you can connect by changing to localhost then that means it is a NAT issue.. Do you have a router? If you do, you will have to forward your internal IP to your external IP address... Also, make sure that all firewall software is opening the ports needed for EQEMu server..

[DrizztBanrae]

Im not using a router.... just an ADSL modem do I still have to do the same thing?

[DrizztBanrae]

I noticed another server owner having very similar problems to mine...except he was using minilogin...will minilogin bypass my 1017 problem?
