Another dumb question have you tried making your loginserver.ini look something like this:
Code:
### --- This file tells world.exe what loginserver to connect to.
### --- Leave the account and password field BLANK.
### --- Public Login is un-supported as is LAN playing. We reccomend using the EQEmu.net Loginserver ALWAYS.
### --- NOTE: Starting 6-1-2002, you can no longer use the word "Server" in worldname.
### --- NOTE2: the word "Server" is added to each server automaticly.
# READ README.TXT
[LoginServer]
loginserver=eqemulator.net
loginport=5995
worldname=My Own Test Box
worldaddress=ExternalIP
locked=false
[WorldServer]
Defaultstatus=0
Unavailzone=
[LoginConfig]
ServerMode=Standalone
ServerPort=5999
UplinkAddress=
UplinkPort=
UplinkAccount=
UplinkPassword=
[ChatChannelServer]
server=localhost
Second, make certain you have no spaces at the end of the lines in loginserver.ini.
Third, have you tried pinging external IP addresses or verifying you have setup Networking similar to your other system.
If you have issues with your PC I'll PM my MSN instant messenger id or my cell # to you and walk through some general configuration of Windows if it'll help ya out.
