I've actually followed this guide and installed ActivePerl-5.10.0.1005-MSWin32-x86-290470 and the only thing I can't seem to get functioning is connecting WAN clients. I'm not sure it has anything to do with Perl but just thought I'd throw that out there.

Hmmm....
I'm using
ActivePerl-5.10.0.1004-MSWin32-x86-287188.msi
EQEmu Server Rev884 w/Bots
I believe Rev 922....or 992 database, whichever is the most recent
and mysql-5.1.37-win32.msi

I'll try ActivePerl-5.10.0.1005-MSWin32-x86-290470 when I get home tonight and see if I can get that working.

If that gets it up I'll have a friend try to connect over WAN and see if I get the same result you got and let you know.

dang i wish the old guides were all still working back from 2007. I was able to make them work flawlessly.
