EQEmu was down today April-13-2021 ( See Galach's post if unable to connect)

[Baler]

Just in case anyone was wondering why the server isn't online.

It seems that the location where eqemu is hosted was down for a portion of the day.

Give it some time, things will be back up and running smoothly. (hopefully)


Galach edit:

all the IP addresses are changing
if you had hardcoded ip's in eqhost.txt
it needs to be updated
can pass along to players
should be

[LoginServer]
Host=login.eqemulator.net:5998

[void221]

thx for the info

Was wondering what was up. I can see some servers in the list, but not most.

Can someone post here when it’s back please?

We're going to need a root cause analysis.

Is the power strip turned on?

I had :5998 after the login.eqemulator.net. in my eqhost.txt file. Should I delete that port?

Your eqhost.txt should look like this
[LoginServer]
Host=login.eqemulator.net:5998

160.72.227.52:5998 worked for me in the hosts file.

-.-.-.-:5998 worked for me in the hosts file.

I strongly advise against that, if it changes you won't be able to connect.

Using ...
[LoginServer]
Host=login.eqemulator.net:5998

Will allow you to connect should the ip change again in the future.

Correct, but login.eqemulator.net:5998 wasn't routing me to the correct IP, because the DNS wasn't updating properly. So. To connect, I had to connect directly to the *current* IP, and I'll change it later.

Let me introduce you to:

ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /flushdns

and if your DNS sucks set it to googles dns 8.8.8.8
