I need a hand with 1 or 2 little problems

[h37lion]

Hello!
I have eqemu installed on a win32 platform.
I followed all directions completely, and got everything working except for this.. (im using minilogin)
What I ultimately am trying to do is be able to play on my own eqemu server, locally, while being even offline.

I go to load eqgame.exe patchme
eq loads up fine, everything is fine
until I login with EQEmu/EQEmu
when it gets to the serverlist, I see my server name but it is LOCKED!

It lets me connect to it anyhow, create characters, etc.. but no zones are available. I don't know what to do =[

I read up a bit and it says that you can use the EQAdmin tool to change zone starts and stuff, so I go to load EQAdmin tool and it just sits there for a while, then shows a little info about the characters i have on my server. I have no idea where to set values that would 'UNLOCK' my server, nor any other applicable properties.

I guess I'm to the point where I need to stop messing with things until I get a little better advice. Please, any help Id appreciate.
