EQEmulator Forums - Same account problem

Hosting my own server on a windows machine with minilogin.
So I am having the same issue as the guy here:
http://www.eqemulator.org/forums/showthread.php?t=16402
except mine can't be solved by updating the server, since i have the latest version

Having a few problems
(tested with 10 of my friends)
no matter who logs in, with what account, it takes everyone to the same character screen. Everyone see's the same character. It crashes anyone currently in game when another person trys to login because they are using the same account, even know they are all using different account name/pass

Update:
ok so this is weird:
me, cas, dead, kryo

me and cas see cas's character
dead and kryo see dead's character

?!?!?!

I read something about a minilogin file something like miniloginaccounts.ini
I don't have that file, should I? what should the code inside look like?

Also my game sits the black screen after selecting server if i use anything else for my ip except 127.0.0.1, and it gives this error:
"ID is 0. Is this server connected to minilogin? could not find a minilogin account, verify ip address logging into minilogin is the same that is in your account table."
should i be using 127.0.0.1 or my lan 192.168.1.7, cuz i have both people from lan and internet trying to connect, all lan connections that don't use 127.0.0.1 sit at the black screen with that error.

mine only works with eqhost set to 127.0.0.1 and minilogin_ip set to 127.0.0.1 or i get black screen
the 192.168.1.6 pc eqhost is currently 192.168.1.7 and minilogin_ip set to 192.168.1.6 and it gets black screen(also tried setting eqhost to "grimshad.doesntexist.com")
