first thing i noticed is in the eqemu_config.xml file this should be set to your pc address and port 5999
Code:
<!-- Loginserver information. -->
<loginserver>
<host>eqemulator.net</host>
<port>5998</port> <account>
</account> <password></password>
</loginserver>
should be like this
Code:
<loginserver>
<host>127.0.0.1</host>
<port>5999</port>
<account></account>
<password></password>
</loginserver>
for the starting and stopping check your launcher table and see if the name in there is zones or zone, it needs to match this in your start.bat file
Code:
start eqlaunch.exe zone
