LAN - Disconnect Post Char Selection

[Thonatos]

Good Morning,

I've scoured the forums/wiki etc, and find a few posts about similar situations, but nothing that matches my situation.

Outside world players - login and play on my server just fine.
LAN players - log in, char select (create toons etc..) but then get booted back to login after a short 'hang' period where one would assume the game is loading.

Most issues I had found are the opposite - port forwarding issues etc.. etc..

Local LAN ip addressing is 192.168.0 (1 is my router, 114 is my EQ server)
Public IP is correct, as listed in the eqemu_config.xml

I did a complete client re-install on my PC last night...
Firewalls and AV off...

Cannot connect to port 7004 on the server ?! I mean, it seems like it is trying to directly connect to the Gateway... this may be correct per say... but I would assume it should be going direct to the game server at .114 at this time.. ??

I'd appreciate your insight, thoughts, etc...
