Localhost(LAN) Server

[kmra247]

All right, so I have the server working, except for the fact I can't log in to the server, I will post the code below. Help is much obliged.

This is the error I am experience, it doesn't stop it from loading, it just occurs, what's the fix for this?

Could not connect to login server: 192.168.1.254:5998 TCPConnection::Connect(); connect() failed. Error: 10061

[Noport]

Opcode.conf
change them to: what client are you using for older clients use 5998 SoD and higher use port 5999, i take it your using eqemulogin right? i pinged the server.
open up the ports on router and unblock firewalls etc let the software pass throw. what os are you using?

I still experience the error I posted earlier, I'm using the UF/HoT client. I have to call my ISP about opening ports, I don't have a firewall on. Windows 8.

[Noport]

change the port to 5999 on server and eqhost.txt change opcodes if using local network address in opcode.conf try that first don't forget to change loginserver etc. don't call to isp ok sorry haven't install windows 8 yet . after you make changes on server try to login again.

[kmra247]

I have to call my ISP to get the ports forwarded.

[Noport]

no you don't need to call the isp if that is your dns server.dyndns.org it pings fine here. what kind of cablemodem do you have or the name of your router..

[sorvani]

Your ISP has nothing to do with your ability to connect to a server inside your own network.

As directed, change your eqhost file to 5999 not 5998. 5998 is only used for titanium clients.

[kmra247]

I know this, I was portforwarding them to allow others to access. I got 3306, 5998, 5999, 7000 - 7100 all portforwarded, anymore?

[kmra247]

But I'm still flabbergasted by this error:

Could not connect to login server: 192.168.1.254:5998 TCPConnection::Connect(); connect() failed. Error: 10061

[Noport]

Host=192.168.1.254:5999 in eq, on server loginserver.ini loginport=5999,login.ini listen_port = 5999,eqemulogin Port=5999 change all them files and restart server again and try to login to server.
did you setup config.ini file and database.ini and db.ini file with your server and password etc?
example of config.ini

[Database]
host=localhost
user=root
password=root
database=peq
compression=off

[General]
quests=C:\EQEmu\quests\

wordwrap=1

[ghanja]

Well.. ARE you using eqemuloginserver ? Or are you wishing to use eqemulator.org ?

Also, read your PM's if you haven't already.

[Noport]

what ghanja was trying to say was eqemulator.net not eqemulator.org lol. or do you want a private server setup for just you and your friends and not use eqemulator.net?

Woah, did Noport just attempt to correct my grammar? <grin>

Actually, Noport, either FQDN will resolve to the proper IP address. So while it is typically given as eqemulator.net --- eqemulator.org will work as well.

Silly Noport.

I would like this to be public for anyone to play. But the server doesn't like me. ;(
