EQEmulator Forums - Can connect through public login server, but not private

I've seen a few threads about this, but no solution.

My world server has two login servers defined, the login.eqemulator.net as well as my private one on 127.0.0.1.

When I run my client on the same PC as the login server and world server everything works great. (everything is 127.0.0.1).

However, a client on public internet can connect to my private login server, see the world server, but can't connect to world server (error 1017).

A client on public internet can connect to the login.eqemulator.net login server, see my world server, and connect to it just fine which tells me I don't have any firewall rule issues (at least I don't think).

Any idea why a client on public internet can't make the jump from my private login server to my world server?
