You haven't messed with 127.0.0.1 have you? Meaning you haven't set it in some hosts file.

My eqemu_config.xml reads like this;

                <!-- Only specify these two if you really think you need to.  (read: You dont) -->
                <address>192.168.1.100</address>
                <localaddress>127.0.0.1</localaddress>

                <!-- Loginserver information.  Defaults shown -->
                <loginserver>
                        <host>192.168.1.100</host>
                        <port>5999</port>
                        <account></account>
                        <password></password>
                </loginserver>

My Loginserver.ini

[LoginServer]
loginserver=127.0.0.1
loginport=5999
worldname=Phobos
worldaddress=192.168.1.100
locked=false
account=
password=

[WorldServer]
Defaultstatus=
Unavailzone=

[ChatChannelServer]
worldshortname=
chataddress=
chatport=

[LoginConfig]
ServerMode=Minilogin
ServerPort=5999

Works like a champ....
