LAN Server Creation

[drunkengod]

Could someone please clarify something for me. Is it possible currently to run a local version of an EQ2 server on a LAN? I see info on Win32 and Linux servers, but they all seem to rely on an outside source for the login server... could someone please correct me if I am wrong, and guide me to some information that could answer my questions? Thanks

Awsome, thanks..., now does that mean I configure the following part of setup on my server with the minlogin info instead of this, and thus I would not need to even be on the internet?:

If you are using "Minilogin" you do not need to register for any accounts on this website for playing online. Minilogin means you run everything behind your firewall and no one but you can access your world.

Minilogin is not restricted to local LAN access just a heads up, just the first 5 accounts. Not sure if I ever clarified that.

Okay so as long as I limit myself to 5 accounts then I'm good... Works for me, Thanks for all the help, I am going to attempt to start building one. So far I haven't found anything that explains the minilogin configuration in setting up a server. Also do I have to "compile a server" in the wiki before I follow the Server Setup guide? God I need an idiots guide for this
