In the rules_values table there are options for how many logins per IP and per account. Default looked to be set as 1. Just need to change it. I have mine set to allow 6 toons per account and 30 per IP.

Thanks for the response Warking. I don't want to muddy up this thread too much with this topic so we can take it to PM if necessary, but I'll just say this: I set World:MaxClientsPerIP to 4 on ALL rulesets and that didn't work. I'm going to assume there's three or four other rules I need to adjust in conjunction with this one? I don't fully understand how they work together or if they even work together at all when you want to allow a 0 status character multi/account logins from the same IP; perhaps you can provide some guidance here?

In the meantime, I have a ghetto workaround where I just allow a single account to log on more than one toon by setting World:AccountSessionLimit to more than one. That's been working fine so far.

Well I figured out my external connection issue and I'll post it here in case anyone else has this problem. I have a Pace Plc 5031NV modem/router and upgrading the firmware from 9.8 to 10.5 resolved all external connection issues. I was pulling my hair out thinking this was a database/SQL issue.

If you are having any sort of external connection issues take a look at your modem/router or at least try a different one to rule out your router when nothing else makes sense.
