What operating system are you running this on? Do you have any firewalls running, including windows built in firewall? Do you have antivirus/spybot/adaware programs running? You might want to try shutting all of these down if so.

For the most part, you config looks ok to me. Though, you might want to remove the DNS server entries in your static IP config. If your ISP ever takes those DNS servers down (mine has done it before), you won't have any connectivity. I think it should still be able to pull DNS from whatever is entered on the router, which is acquired when it pulls a DHCP address.

I notice that you starred out some IPs, but you did all of the wrong ones. None of these IPs matter. People won't know your IP from this:
Code:
IPv4 address-192.168.1.*** (this is the static IP i created for my comp)
subnet mask-255.255.255.0
default gateway-192.168.1.1
DNS 1-68.87.71.***
DNS 2-68.87.73.***
This is the one you should have starred out if you wanted to hide anything. This is the IP that everyone sees your server as.
Code:
Internet IP address-76.119.242.12
The good thing is that this is probably a dynamic IP and if you shut your router off for 5 or 10 minutes and restart it, it will probably pull a new IP. Even if you don't, the IP will probably get changed automatically eventually.

The only other issue I notice is this section:
Code:
<!-- Loginserver information. Defaults shown -->
<loginserver>
<host>eqemulator.net</host>
<port>5998</port>
<account>*****</account>
<password>*****</password>
</loginserver>
You don't set the account/password for the login server anymore. This was how it used to be done when it was required to register a server and servername before being able to connect and be listed on the server list. This is no longer required. I would suggest setting it back to this:

Code:
<account></account>
<password></password>
Let me know if any of this helps. Hang in there, we should be able to get you working
