[Nel] Login service of mtp-target

[yih]

get this when running the "Login_service" or mtp-target:

File: D:\mtp-target\login_service\login_service.cpp
Line: 192
Reason: mysql_query('update shard set NbPlayers=0, State='Offline',
InternalId=0') failed: 'Unknown column 'State' in 'field list''

can someone tell me briefly what does login_service do? i tried to connect
online with the compiled client downloaded from met-target & it works fine,
but it says:

Can't connect to TCP server
Connection refused to LS

do i need to run login_service in order to play online? but i didn't when
using the downloaded client.

thanks

yih
