your friend is using LAN/loopback ips for his server / minlogin setup.
This means the server can be accessed using these adresses from his LAN, but not from your's, as you connect using his external adress.
When you connect to the minilogin server, it tells your eq client that server is running on '127.0.0.1' (from LoginServer.ini), where it means 'localhost' on server's point of view, but when EQ client tries to connect, it uses '127.0.0.1', which means localhost (your machine) for EQ client.
Solutions :
- if you are on same LAN (what i doubt), change 127.0.0.1 to the server's ip adress (192.168.x.x) everywhere, it should be a better start.
- if on seperate subnets, tell your friend use EQEMu Login servers. Your friend is shy and doesn't want to show up, well, then there are solutions using minilogin, but you'll get into painfull NAT issues.
i hope this helps.
