EQ cant connect to Server! (On Host computer!)

[Arctura000]

HI y'alls!

Thanks to awesome wikis and forum posts i was finally able to get my server kinda half running.

Problem is, i cant login to it, Not even on the server computer that is running the server itself!! =( I managed to get as far as the Server select screen, which showed the server successfully!, but when i double clicked to login it asked my Account name and PW, i would insert them correctly as usual, but it would say 'connection to server could not be reached'


I messed with accounts, created new accounts, tried fiddling with settings, and still nothing! None of the accounts will connect =(
(heres a screenshot of my Accounts table in PEQ database)


I went out and bought titanium just to get my own personal server running, came this far and am blocked by this lol. Is there something really simple im overlooking?

I have
Perl 5.8.7 build 813
MysQl 5.0 (because it supports the awesome NAVICAT!)
Navicat 7.2.12-trial
copied the 2 DLL files to System32 (were already there)

Running
EQEmu 7.0.845 (as per instructed in Kayot's awesome Minilogin emu wiki)
MiniLogin6.2.zip
the big 300meg Maps.tar.gz
PEQ Luclin Database and Quests

Heres what my Server console window thingies show... they do not appear to register the client trying to connect to the world.




Here's a copy of my config files.

it seems the zones dont boot or something? well only 5 dynamic ones boot. I wrote a quick Bat file to manually boot static zones, but they only stay open for like 5 seconds then Crash and perform illegal operation.
The manual zone-starting bat I only used once and it didnt help... it read
start zone.exe cshome
start zone.exe qeynos

etc.

Any ideas? I think i almost have it here, but im looking beyond some easy fix!!

Any help would be more than awesome, I have so many ideas for modifying the gameplay and customizing the EQ experience, just need to get the login crap settled
