Try this. In windows, "localhost" usually resolves to the local IP (127.0.0.1), but I've read, in some flavours of linux, it may not. I always use the local IP anyways. Plus, not sure why you had dual login servers with same (external IP) ? Commonly it's used for emu public and a lan (or local). I'm not sure why you had an IP set for "zones" either. ?
