Login Server issue

[gxb3200]

I am having this same issue. I have built a new server from scratch and I can see my server UP locally in the server select screen, once I click PLAY EVERQUEST it comes back with an error "An unknown error occurred while trying to join the server". I wanted to see if the username and password get entered into the PEQ accounts database and I do not see it making it that far, accounts DB is empty still. I am local and not going through any firewall. I have the windows firewalls disabled on both server and client. Any ideas?

Are you able to connect using the 'player' accounts on Eqemulator.org ? Confirming first that everything works that way may help you establish if it's your login server or the server itself.
