Ok, something really weird just happened. I changed both files to 5998, and as expected, it did not work, but I wanted to try it, so that I was reporting back valid info to you. So i did, it did not work, so i downed the server, changed both files back to 5999, and then for kicks and giggles tried to connect again with a UF client, and it worked.
I cannot explain why that happened.
EDIT: It looks like I did not change back the listening port in login.ini to 5999, but left it at 5998. Odd, as my LAN server has the listening port as 5999 and it works fine.....oh, wait a minute. I bet the scripted installer creates a firewall rule for 5998, but not for 5999. But it wouldn't matter on my LAN, since I have the local firewall turned off. I bet that is probably it.
Thanks for your help! Much appreciated!
EDIT:hmm,that is not the case. I just checked and the installer created a rule for both 5999, and 5998. Hunh, I can't really explain why that worked.
Decent network performance. I'm seeing an in game connection speed of 42ms. That is not too far off my LAN speed.
