Their point is that you are trying to do something that is probably more advanced than you can handle. Many have done this before, so it does work when done properly and you already have a 3 page support thread on it so far.
Unless you will not have internet connectivity when you are playing, there is almost no reason to do a private server setup. Minilogin is terrible, and the EQEmuLoginServer can be a little tough to get setup properly. Making a public server that uses the public Login Server is far easier than either of the private solutions and you can still run it like a private server, just not offline.
This thread is getting long enough that anyone that hasn't already been following it from the start isn't going to want to get caught up on the whole story (myself included). If you really have to run a private server and want to get better support, you might want to try solving 1 issue per thread. Maybe make a new thread explaining your current issue and stuff without going over all of the stuff that may have already been resolved.
Most people just use a public server setup, at least initially. Since less people use private servers, it means there are less people with the right experience to help support you.
