I don't use minilogin, but maybe this thread can help, GeorgeS:

Otherwise, I would maybe suggest trying to use EQEmuLoginServer or even setting your server to Public if that is an option for you. The EQEmuLoginServer can be a bit rough to get configured properly at first, but once you get it, it is way better than Minilogin.
