EQEmuLoginServer uses an account/password scheme for logging onto the server, where Minilogin uses IP address verification. I agree with lerxst on this and you should be using the eqemulogin.
If you happen to download the rev2098.rar file, there was a file called ServerStart.bat, which starts all of the required programs.
If not, open Notepad (don't create a new text document and open it or you'll be stuck with a file called ServerStart.bat.txt, which won't work and is a pain to rename in Windows if you don't know how..) and copy this into it:
@echo off
Echo Starting EQEmuLoginServer
cd C:\eqemu
start eqemuloginserver.exe
echo
echo
cd C:\eqemu
start world.exe
echo waiting a bit for world to finish loading...
echo.
echo.
ping -n 10 127.0.0.1 > nul
echo starting zone
start eqlaunch.exe zone
exit
Now, click save and called it ServerStart.bat and that should work for your server starter.
As far as Navicat (or HeidiSQL), it is not required to make the server run. It's only there to make editing your database easier.
MySQL is your database server and is where your World and Login server's go to set and retrieve information. The name 'PEQ' is the name you gave to the particular database for use with this world server.
In Huppy's instructions where it say to create a new session, you are creating a Navicat-unique identifier called 'PEQLoginDB' which is only a tag that identifies this particular MySQL server.
When you log into Navicat (Navigate Catalogue, I presume) you will actually see four (4) databases: MySQL, PEQ, Test, and something else..I'm not on my server computer and can't get the exact names, but you get the gist.
When you set the database in the config files, that tells the server programs to use a particular database from your MySQL database server..and that happens to be 'PEQ.' All of the tables that you need will be under the PEQ tree.
I'll continue in a little bit, but want to get this post up first...
