Sadly, Minilogin works one way or the other on Windows. It's just how the NT loopback (fake IP) 127.0.0.1/localhost works. EQ doesn't use the 198.x.x.x IP when connecting to a server on the same machine, it dumbly uses the banner shouting "LOCALHOST".
No way around it I suppose unless u manually edit HOSTS, which I dont recommand for newbies.
I have the same issue with Live EQ. I can't connect to Live if my Wireless is turned off. It barfs and hangs at the first network connection and doesn't bother trying others.
