As Chanus says, check your eqemu_config.xml
Code:
[Thu Dec 09 10:27:56 2010]00037:*** WorldAuthenticate. Error connecting to :9000 [clientDisconnectReasonConnectFail,serverDisconnectReasonNone]
I would expect to see your server IP address before the :9000, e.g. 'Error connecting to 192.168.254.20:9000'
