OK, lets try and find some similarities to fix this. I had his problem a few days ago, as mentioned above mine was caused by using no-ip.info to resolve my IP Address of my server, but no-ip.info wasn't auto-updating, i had to goto
www.no-ip.info, delete my old registration and re-create it again using my new IP address.. no-one using minilogin has this problem, so i am still convinced it's IP and name resolution... please ping your server by the name you have used in eqemu_config.xml .. and post your replies.. thanks
