<localaddress>192.168.1.253</localaddress>

you have to be careful when using 127.0.0.1 , as that is the localhost IP for all clients. If I were to try and log in to your server from another machine , my machine might get confused and think 127.0.0.1 was for my own loaclhost.

Your server machine needs a unique ip and your client needs to be able to find it. I also have made up host files with names and ips

For example, this a client machine file;

127.0.0.1 drake drake.blackwater.dynip.com localhost localhost.localdomain drake.nahunta.org
192.168.2.102 drake drake.blackwater.dynip.com localhost localhost.localdomain drake.nahunta.org
204.225.44.3 altair.canweb.ca
192.168.2.100 marysol marysol.blackwater.dynip.com marysol.nahunta.org
204.225.44.10 discovery.dynip.com
204.225.44.134 dynip.com www.dynip.com
192.168.2.101 fortress fortress.blackwater.dynip.com
204.50.159.194 ns3.dynip.com
192.168.2.105 nahunta blackwater blackwater.dynip.com www.nahunta.org nahunta.org forums.nahunta.org

The 192.168.2.*.* ips are clients in the LAN and 192.168.2.105 is the server machine which includes the EqEmu server. Since I have assigned a dynamic DNS (blackwater.dynip.com), I can then have friends come in over the ineternet and play also. 'Drake' is the client machine with the host file, so I point all names to both local and static ip assigned (192.168.2.102).
My setting looks like this;

<server>
        <world>
                <shortname>classic</shortname>
                <longname>Angelox Classic 2008</longname>
                <!-- Only specify these two if you really think you need to. -->
		<address>blackwater.dynip.com</address>
		<localaddress>192.168.2.105</localaddress>

now, players in the net can play too, just need to point their eqhost.txt file to blackwater.dynip.com

but for the LAN play, Server will still see your IP as what ip you have in the LAN.
I have all my LAN on static IPs .

The MySql uses the localhost IP and should remain as so;

                 <!-- Database configuration, replaces db.ini. -->
        <database>
                <host>localhost</host>
                <port>3306</port>

You can edit your ACCOUNT table and set IP to whatever clent will be using that account. keep in mind, that's all Minilogin looks for, is the minilogin_ip. There are PHP scripts you can set up for setting passwords and user names if required.
