Error FFXI-3322 When trying to create character on own serve

[bluekirby0]

Okay it wans't the ZoneIP fix xD

I ran the command in Navicat:

UPDATE zone_settings SET zoneip = '1677830336';

Which is the IP for 192.168.1.100 and 256 rows were affected and still FFXI-3322. I'm gonna try installing the server software on a 32bit XP instead to see if the problem still persits.

Try "3232235876" for your ZoneIP.

How did you figure out 1677830336 makes 192.168.1.100? I've been trying to find the logic to it and can't quite grasp it. I'm trying to aim for something similar I just need to change the x.x.x.100 part to the servers number.

the method to calculate it is listed in the server building guide. It is as follows:
Take your IP address and reverse the groups:

192.168.1.100 becomes 100 1 168 192

then plug those values into this formula:

a + b*256 + c*256^2 + d*256^3

you end up with

100 + 1*256 + 168*256^2 + 192*256^3

which simplifies to

100 + 256 + 168 * 65536 + 192*16777216 = 100 + 256 + 11010048 + 3221225472 = 3232235876

So, as you can see, the correct value to use in his scenario would be '3232235876'

Thanks again Blue, so it is the conversion for an IP to an integer if I understand correctly.

Yes, though apparently you no longer have to reverse the IP address, so any online calculator that can do that conversion should work now.
