Well the title basically says it. I cannot connect to my own server. Other people can though. Also, i can connect to other servers, just not mine. Here's my Loginserver.ini and Boot5zones.exe.

Here's my Loginserver.ini:
[LoginServer]
loginserver=eqlogin1.eqemu.net
loginserver2=eqlogin2.eqemu.net
loginport=5999
loginport2=5999
worldname=GolcesGood
worldaddress=*REAL IP*
locked=false
account=
password=

[WorldServer]
Defaultstatus=
Unavailzone=

[LoginConfig]
ServerMode=Standalone
ServerPort=5999
UplinkAddress=
UplinkPort=
UplinkAccount=
UplinkPassword=

and Boot5zones.exe:
if NOT exist spells_en.txt goto NOSPELL

start zone . *REAL IP* 7995 192.168.0.2
start zone . *REAL IP* 7996 192.168.0.2
start zone . *REAL IP* 7997 192.168.0.2
start zone . *REAL IP* 7998 192.168.0.2
start zone . *REAL IP* 7999 192.168.0.2
exit
cls

Does anyone know what's wrong?[/b]

do nat setup. If that doesn't work, put all internal IPs for boot5zones and the internal IP for loginserver.ini
NOTE - this makes it so ONLY YOU can play on your server!
and if that doesn't help, open up a few ports (zone ports and port 9000) or assign a dmz host

Do you have a firewall?
Most firewalls do not allow internal IPs to connect on their outside interface (e.g. Cisco PIX Firewall).
I have not found any way to solve this until now.
So its either only you or everyone else but you on your server :-)

start zone . *REAL IP* 7995 192.168.0.2
start zone . *REAL IP* 7996 192.168.0.2
start zone . *REAL IP* 7997 192.168.0.2
start zone . *REAL IP* 7998 192.168.0.2
start zone . *REAL IP* 7999 192.168.0.2

That should be REALIP PORT REALIP

When I do that though, no one can connect to my server, and my zone.exe's cannot connect to the server. I get a connection failed error in zone.exe, but it loads everything fine.

Both should technically work...

What is your computer set up, your computer hooked directly to a cable modem ?

I have a router, so it goes to router then to cable modem.
