I would recommend not to do any port stuff on your router if you are just trying to play EQEmu. It isn't needed and has the potential to cause issues. If you used port forwarding to set it, that could very likely be your issue, since only Port Range Forwarding would work properly as far as I know and even that shouldn't be set.

Also, make 100% sure you did not patch EQ even for a second when you did the first install on that PC. If it did patch, it probably got a new eqgame.exe and the new eqgame.exe will definitely cause that exact problem. You can normally tell if the problem is because you patched, because it will wait a very long time before saying it timed out trying to connect. Normally if it can't reach the Login Server and is running the right version, it will only take 20 seconds or so before it says it timed out.
