Connecting to zone server problem

[zanifer]

Hello everyone, and thanks in advance for any replies you may have the time to leave.
I am having difficulty setting up a private server. I have registered, and I can connect to EQ2Emulator server.
When I run my server on Fedora Core 8, I can see it on the server list. I can also see when my character name is sent for approval, and I can even see an AddAuth: 546key: with some numbers following it every time I try and connect to my server. The corresponding data is also present and updated in my database. From the client end (4591L)after I select a character on my server and hit play to enter the world, the client displays Connecting to zone server, and the progress bar does not move at all. After a minute or less it returns back to the Login prompt.
Both the client machine and server machine I am using are on the same side of a wireless router before connecting to my ISP. I am setting it up to be a local login. Using version 0.4
LoginServer.ini

Code: Select all

### --- This file tells world.exe what loginserver to connect to.
### --- Leave the account and password field BLANK.
### --- NOTE: the word "Server" is added to each server automaticly.# READ README.TXT

I have tried using localhost and leaving fields blank. I feel dumb asking this question, but some help would be a great relief.

Set your "worldaddress" entry to your public IP address (right now you have it set to your private/LAN IP address, which is fine for the "internalworldaddress" entry). You can find this IP address by visiting a site like www.whatsmyip.org. After you have that set, make sure that you have TCP port 9000 open on your router/firewall, then restart World and you should be good to go.

Thanks Diamente, I am an idiot. My problem was port 9000. Thank you for the help.
