does your eqemulogin.ini have host= instead of loginserver= ? you gotta have some pointer as to where the login server is followed by the port?
i can't change the part under the DB section because my DB server is NOT local host, it is a seperate server. I could try the IP address, but since i am able to successfully login to the login server, i MUST be hitting the DB properly because i'm being authenticated.
edit : while root is my user name (no big surprise there) obscured is NOT my password
