Ok after further investigation I think I found the problem, but I don't know how to fix it.
Here's the outplog of my EQ Client - (well the end where it broke off the connection)
2008-06-19 08:48:07 Zone Connect -- 0 -- Received MSG_ZONE_ADDRESS

It looks like the client is able to connect to the server, but is not able to connect to the zoneserver. I have checked my config, but everything lines up and I have the correct ports forward. Would a antivirus program interfere with the connection perchance?
Im running Windows Vista (where my server is) with Symantec Endpoint, and I can connect to the server just fine when behind my router. Im forwarding Ports 7000-7100, 9000, 9080, 5998-5999 and a few others too I think just to be safe.
Any suggestions?
