EQEmulator Forums - Can't connect to my server

Ok, there are no errors at all in the outputs from world.exe or boot5zones.exe, not even when someone attempts to join. After clicking play everquest, the screen turns black like it was about to show the loading screen, but then they get kicked back to the login screen.

world.exe:

REM: ****Read this first!!!****

REM: This file requires your real IP in the place of "yourip" when you are connecting
REM: To the EQEmu Loginserver.

REM: When you are using minilogin, Replace all IP Addresses to say 127.0.0.1

REM: If you still get errors try using localhost instead of 127.0.0.1
