WooHoo!
I got it working, finally.. After 3 days :P
Anyways, I thought I would explain what the problem was. I can't believe I overlooked it to be honest, it's not that big-a-problem, easily solvable.
The problem lay within the hosts file. I had put the hosts file to my external IP not my internal server IP.
And, that was it. Spotted the problem last night, changed it and was in first attempt.
Forest of Dreams roleplaying server is now live, should be interesting.
Going to start working on getting quests added as soon as I can.
Good luck to everyone else setting up a server
