i do a port checker for 3306 and it says its blocked... i have it port forwarded and allowed in windows firewall. still not sure what to do to get it working again
The port (3306) in Windows Firewall were likely tied to a different .exe location. Either way, it's typically best to just remove the rules and then implement them again. I've noticed for whatever reason (likely a corruption of Window$ DB), that this often helps regardless of the situation.

I say the above on the assumption that the computer you're attempting to get this working on is the same computer as EQEMU was working on before (somewhere up there you said "again" as Grumpy pointed out). And that said computer has the same static IP address it had before (because I further assume you're running at least a consumer grade "router"/NAT).

Then also, did you repeat the process of making a SQL account for the EoC/editor (assuming you aren't using root - which just isnt the best practice)?
