Hello!
I followed the Feb 2013 setup guide, and have got everything running, (at least everything starts with no errors!!.
The issue I have is that no-one, either from LAN or WAN, can connect to the server. All everyone gets is the "A connection to the server could not be made" etc.

I am running the server on a Win 2k8 R2 Dell, and since it gives no errors whilst its running, I imagine its my eqconfig, login ini's that are all messed up??, Please help me!.

this is my login ini :-
[database]
host = 127.0.0.1
port = 3306
db = login
user = xxx
password = xxxxx
subsystem = MySQL

[options]
unregistered_allowed = TRUE
reject_duplicate_servers = FALSE
trace = TRUE
world_trace = FALSE
dump_packets_in = TRUE
dump_packets_out = TRUE
DatabaseServerName=127.0.0.1
DatabaseCatalogName=login
DatabaseUserName=xxxxxx
DatabaseUserPassword=xxxxxxxx
listen_port = 5998
local_network = 192.168.1.

[security]
plugin = EQEmuAuthCrypto
mode = 5

[Titanium]
port = 5998
opcodes = login_opcodes.conf

[SoD]
port = 5999
opcodes = login_opcodes_sod.conf

[schema]
account_table = tblLoginServerAccounts
world_registration_table = tblWorldServerRegistration
world_admin_registration_table = tblServerAdminRegistration
world_server_type_table = tblServerListType

I do have an admin account set in the DB.

and this is my eqemu_config :-

<?xml version="1.0">

my firewalls are configured, and the router IS forwarding the required ports.
I am at a total loss, and have searched the forums for 4 days now without any clue. If anyone could point me at anything to help I would be very very grateful.
Many Thanks
