OK, well unless I'm retarded, which I probably am... I'm getting a "Cannot connect to server" error. I'm using the BNF repack. Then when I check in on the Server monitor, I see under recvmsg, the numbers 64, 72, and 73 being rotated.
Lol I just checked back and it says 8 users are online.
Here's what I've done:
1. Set up my ODBC services and made sure they're running. Data source tested and has a good connection.
2. Set up my SQL DB's and made sure that service is running.
3. Run 'XPT1855-HH-Edition-Beta1.exe'
4. Changed registry.
5. Changed Hotuk.ini (server-side) All IPs are now 127.0.0.1
6. Change ldata.bmp (client-side) All IPs are now 127.0.0.1
7. I even tried turning off firewalls and setting my LAN IP to DMZ mode (all ports forwarded) and these shouldn't even be necessary.
Also, my friend is having the exact same problem.
Edit: BTW, the database and everything is working properly. Characters can be edited, added, etc.
