Private Login (Everquest not responding)

[BigBlueWizard]

I'm trying to play my server on the same computer as the client, and everything in the login and config files are set to 127.0.0.1 but whenever i launch the emulator, i am able to see my server by itself (like in Akka's guide), however it freezes and becomes not responsive once clicking play on the server. The login log shows that the client requested login and server but once i click play it shows client disconnected. I can try to post some logs in a bit. I'm away from my computer atm and typing this one my phone.

Btw, everything works fine when i use eqemulator host. Even when connected from a different computer in the same house.

Edit: everquest itself freezes i mean
