Considering ONLY the server is having issues connecting, nothing else is, I wouldn't say it's hardware (ram/hdd/etc), all other software works fine.
Software maybe? But how, that's the question. If it's software it has to be the eqemu software. But the crash remained even after completely wiping out the system minus the database and recompiling and redownloading everything. If it's the database itself, why is it only preventing connections from the eqemu software, and not tools, editors, websites, etc.
Firewall I could see being an issue if the server and database weren't on the same PC. I can connect to the database from external computers just fine.
