Got server up running, now how do i log in?

Hey again,
I finally got the server up and running after a lot of experimenting, now it seems i am missing something very obvious as i can not for the life of me figure out how to actually play on it...
I've read everything i could find but I am simply not sure what I am overlooking.. I would greatly appreciate any pointers in the right direction! :)

I followed this guide: http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka.php?wakka=Windows (the svn guide didnt work for me, this one did however).
As far as i know everything is configured correctly, i can add them for view here if needed.

At the end it says:

Quote:

That should be all that is needed to play, fire up your ServerStart batch file, wait a little bit, and then start the shortcut you made to the eq client to log in.

When i start the eq shortcut i get to the login screen, i type in user name and password but i only get ''A connection to the server could not be reached. etc''.

So what probable obvious thing that would make me want to 'facepalm' am i missing?

What am i missing/doing wrong? Help is greatly appreciated! :)

Hmm... I can't for the life of me find an edit button for my posts here so third post then... :/

I got some progress, the client now connects to the server (apparently i used my modem's ip and not the computer's ip... :facepalm:) However it never goes past:

Quote:

Logging into the server. Please wait...

Screenshot: http://img821.imageshack.us/f/eqserverlogin1.jpg/

I've looked all over the place but the only vague part i found was that it would happen if the client has been patched, it has not it's a fresh download from Steam (SOD) so it should not have patched as i never launched it (unless steam does that without my consent? if so, how do i sort that?)
Anyone know what's wrong?

Would greatly appreciate some assistance if anyone could spare a little time :)

Still not getting past the ''logging in, please wait'' part and i've tried every single combination of things i could possibly think of.... :/

Can someone please help me?

I have a working example of the config files and a complete database on my site. You're welcome to download the .rar and see how I got the minilogin server working
