Bringing back a (really) old server?

[Rooster2]

So I just found my (old) server, circa 2006-2007 based on file creation dates.. After tracking down some (hopefully proper) UO clients (uotd / uoml???) to point the server DataPath.cs at, this is my result:

Before I try any new compiling of code and possibly entertain a Frankenstein situation (new code, old save folder, that sort of thing) - What are you thoughts, is there anything I can do to get this 'old' server going? My kid and I used to play on it - He was like 9 then, 24 now rofl.. Be super cool to see our old toons once again Did try running the exe as admin, thinking maybe it wasn't allowed to access my IP address info or something.. This is a Windows 11 box - Other options could include running this on a VM of XP or 7 maybe?

Thanks and nice to see the community still around, if recently back in the game at that!

Hi,

You might be getting an IPv6 address or that .net 2.0 doesn't point correctly or something. Hard to say exact from that, but try to drop IPv6 settings from you NIC completely and optionally add your IP address into config files so it doesn't look for it.
