By default, the rules for GM IP Restricting is disabled, so if you haven't enabled that yourself in your rules, then it isn't the problem. Here are the 2 related rules:
World:MinGMAntiHackStatus
World:GMAccountIPList
Unless you enabled those 2, then the IP problem I had is not the same problem you are having.
Some things you can try are:
1. Check your EQ dbg.txt file located in your Everquest /logs folder. See if the logs near the bottom are of any help, and maybe post the contents of that file (maybe in a new thread).
2. Check your account_ip table and see what IP(s) are showing as connecting from your GM account.
3. Check the FAQ in my sig to see if it helps with anything. I think you would specifically want to check the parts related to port range forwarding. You may need to make sure that you are not forwarding port 5998, as that may cause some issues.
4. Have you ever been able to connect to your own server fully? If not, then you probably have some other issue. Check your server log files (probably the world ones) to see if you are getting any errors. If you have connected to your own server, exactly when did you start having this new problem, and did you change anything on your end before it started?
5. You may also want to check your hosts file that I think should be in your windows/system32/drivers/etc/ folder. Make sure you don't have any custom host settings in there.
Normally, the problem you are describing occurs when there is a port range forwarding issue, so it is probably most important that you make sure you have that setup correctly.
