Hey guys,
Noob here..and I need your help. It took me 2 days but I was finally able to set up the database as well as the server. I'm currently situated in a LAN using one PC to run the database (SQL 2005 Express) and WMware running CentOS). I did exactly as the guide showed with the database and got all the Account, Cabal_managerdb, ect..all running fine with a database IP of 192.168.1.146 (which is also my LAN IP). At least that's what I assumed that is what my DB IP is. I even try to ping the CentOS using my windows and got a reply both way (192.168.1.146 windows can ping 192.168.1.148 CentOS and vice versa). So I went ahead to Cent0S and ran the server and I got this:

Looks good so far?
Here is my problem:
After merging all the GP client part together, I extracted the client to a folder then proceeded to extract the GP Cabal Patch login to the same folder. I went in that folder and edited the "internal.txt" file first with the CentOS IP (192.168.1.148) and I can't connect. After that, I tried every IP I could find and still can't connect. I even tried the Hamachi guide and still can't connect to the server. When I ran the "ifconfig" command, I get
[Only Registered and Activated Users Can See Links. Click Here To Register...].
Also, when I was following the database installation guide, I was told to create a user and make that user the dbo--which I did--what do I do with that user? Is that what I am suppose to use to log in the game server..assuming if I can get it to work? Do I need to input that user where it says MSSQL User name and password on CentOS?
It's obviously that I am a noob at this so if anyone want to give me live help, my yahoo msn id is *censured*]. I know it will get harder from here but I am willing to learn. Thank you in advance for any reply
