"Host not Found!" error

[softflow]

I've recently re-installed EQ (original cd) and configured mysql to host from and run on my own computer following the detailed guide in the HowTo section. I've had no problems starting the server -- I don't receive any db errors. However, I'm unable to get past the connect within game because of the "Host not Found!" error. I've edited my eqhost file also to mirror my server address (behind a router, my ip is 192.168.1.100)

Is there a clear answer to this in the form of "you n00b, you have to..." or must I do more configuring? Would it even be wise to remove the router and go w/o an internet connection to try this out?

I'm running 0.5.6 w/ mySQL 4.0.18 with a completely new, unpatched everquest install.

Thanks for any assitance you may have!
