I have done further testing following the setup guide(s) on another system. Using Private Login and r974 this time. Again getting a client disconnected (not in process) error when trying to enter world. Again, the IP:Port is showing up as <no ip>:Port. Still don't know what's going on with that.
An interesting thing I discovered though was that I couldn't bring up the EQ splash screen after clicking my server, it would boot me back to char select (with client disconnected/not in process error). In fact, it wouldn't bring me to char select until I tried 3-4 times. Again, with char select screen up and entering world, I rarely could enter the world without a client disconnect error. Resolution? I installed the KB hotfix for the 'dual/quad cpu core fix' found in another thread. Microsoft says this 'fixes a situation where your Windows-based system that supports processor power management features, and is equipped with multiple processors, may experience decreased performance'. Very interesting that this resolved most of my connection errors. Maybe this will help others too, hopefully.
