Support::General SupportPost all topics here having to do with errors while trying to connect to an EQEMu server but not about the setup/running of the Server itself.
I think this post is probably in the worng forum. This should probably be in Support::General Support.
It sounds like you are getting to the server selection screen. I am pretty sure that port 5998 is only for the initial connection. If memory servers, the game itself uses several ports within a wide range of other ports and it picks those ports randomly every time.
