Funny thing :p
 

i have desperately been trying to set up a server behind a NAT and followed Magick's "book" to the point. I have added the proper ports in the nat configuration, and made sure routing works. also i get no errors when starting world and then Boot5zones.bat "zone" server also logins fine to loginserver, but when i connect using this eqhost file i cant see it, but i can connect and see a fe servers just not mine, ive even entered a few of them and run around, just to verify that there were no problems.
[LoginServer]
Host=eqemulator.net:5995
but this one
[Registration Servers]
{
"register.eqemulator.net:5999"
}
[Login Servers]
{
"eqlogin1.eqemulator.net:5997"
"eqlogin2.eqemulator.net:5997"
"eqlogin3.eqemulator.net:5997"
}
as specified here http://www.eqemulator.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=9649
