P.S. I hope 5598 was your typo.

Currently, I am only setting it up for myself on my own computer, so yes I am using localhost to set up the server. I checked and double checked again that 5598 is indeed not a typo. I am running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit edition. I have set up my own private server once before on an older computer and had no problems whatsoever, but it was on a very old build on a crashed hard drive so I cannot just go back to that one and update it unfortunately. Also that computer, I used minilogin, so my setup from that one to the current is slightly different.
I guess where to start, I will detail all the steps I have taken. FIrst, I went through all of the steps on the February 2013 version here:

At the end, it pointed to a post regarding setting up a private individual computer server here:

I went through each of these steps once, then twice once the first setup failed to connect, and it all was a no-go. Next, I read through the entire thread regarding this specific 2013 install with no luck in all the tips mentioned within. After that all failed, I went to another post and tried to mix-and-match different install ideas from here:
http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka...rverSetupGuide
When all my tweaks failed, I started over from scratch again. I tried instead a setup I found on the Github site found here:
https://github.com/EQEmu/Server/wiki...up-using-XAMPP
I have gone through this setup twice as well and it still fails to function for me. I am far from a newbie when it comes to computers and have exhausted a week and a half of troubleshooting trying to get this to function. I am sure if I work on it long enough, I can get it, but why frustrate myself if I can get any pointers where something is going awry?
Although one thing that did just come to my mind...due to my schooling, I have the full professional version of Visual Studio 2012 and have been using that to handle my compiling. I have received no errors in my compiling and everything seems to have worked fine. That being said, is there anything in the code which would not compile in 2012 as opposed to 2013? I have coded a lot in both 2010 and 2012, but since I graduated in May have yet to play around with coding in 2013.
