What do I do now?

<tcp ip="____MY IP____" port="9000" telnet="disable"/>

"____MY IP____" should be your exterior IP or if you got a dynamic DNS, better - by exterior, I mean what your ISP gave you.

here's exactly what i put in my hosts, and use the same order;
---------
192.168.2.100 blackwater.dynip.com
127.0.0.1 blackwater.dynip.com
127.0.0.1 localhost
---------

try this while I look at the rest of your post - use your own machine ip/dns though

<key>some long random string</key>

put a random string in here!

example: <key>122jsdhdefkflew676883ksjhs8is98s</key>

[Tsunamic_Tuna]

it still has the same error and everything after that... still clueless...

[Angelox]

Are you sure they are using Everquest Titanium?

[Tsunamic_Tuna]

yes. because they can connect to every other server in the server select just fine. just not mine for some reason... it boots them back to login screen

Let me see your eqemu_debug_zone log
