help with asynchronous error on the login gate please
- Thread starter _XT_
- Start date
The error has nothing to do with not allowing you to make characters, that is something else entirely. Try using a server starter to correctly configure your IP addresses.
We have correctly altered ALL ips. I don't have a clue what's happened here. I've set up BDE and DBX commanders. Still getting the error. Any ideas guys?
Ignore the error, the error does not cause any interferance. The problem lies in your IP configuration (still nothing to do with the socket error). There will be something up with your IP configuration, either in your files or in the various software you have running your machine.
Hmmm, Ok. I'll go through all the IPs with a fine tooth comb and get back to you. Cheers in advance. 
Ok I just checked the Loginsrv.ini and this is what I got.
[server]
DBServer=127.0.0.1
DBSPort=16300
FeePort=16301
LogPort=16302
ReadyServers=0
EnableMakingID=TRUE
EnableTrial=FALSE
CountLogDir=c:\mirserver\mud2\Logsrv\CountLog\
WebLogDir=c:\mirserver\share\GameWFolder\
FeedIDList=c:mirserver\share\Feed\FeedIDList.txt
FeedIPList=c:\mirserver\share\Feed\FeedIPList.txt
[DB]
IdDir='.\IDDB\'
Is anything wrong with that? I'm thinking maybe the IP but I don't want to alter it incase I make things worse at this stage.

Make sure your server is infact located at c:\mirserver, and use a server starter. 127.0.0.1 is the correct IP for both local and public hosting configurations on the logsrv, however you stated that the file was called Loginsrv.ini, which doesn't exist.
I really do strongly advise you to a server starter (there is one on leocrasher.co.uk), OR make each and every IP address 127.0.0.1, and test from the same machine as your hosting from.

I meant logsrv.ini lol Soz. I am using a server starter, I downloaded it from fernys.co.uk . The mirserver folder is definately in C: .
On the character select screen it says Error =-4 and on the desktop it says loginsrv INVALID FILENAME.
The Invalid FileName error has gone but the error=4 upon character creation is still happening. Any ideas ?
