Public Server Only Works On Localhost

[Sikkun]

Ok so I moved my computer to an actual network just to see what would happen. I have the ports 7000-7100 and 9000 forwarded on the router and my Windows server lets people outside of the LAN connect.

Vmware Linux on the other hand...grrr

I have the vmware set to a bridged connection and I made my Ip (Windows) static.

if I do a ipconfig (Windows) I'm told my ip is: 192.168.2.150
if I do a ifconfig (Linux) I'm told my ip is: 192.168.2.5
whats my ip on both gives me: 70.126.158.125

my eqemuconfig:

<!-- DO NOT EDIT ANY LINES BETWEEN HERE AND THE DATABASE SECTION -->

		 <address>70.126.158.125</address>
		   <localaddress>192.168.2.5</localaddress> 

		<!-- Loginserver information.  DO NOT EDIT -->
		<loginserver>
			<host>eqemulator.net</host>
			<port>5998</port>
			<account></account>
			<password></password>
		</loginserver>

		<!-- Server status.  Default is unlocked DO NOT EDIT RIGHT NOW -->
		<!--<locked/>-->
		<!-- <unlocked/> -->

		<!-- Sets the ip/port for the tcp connections.  DO NOT EDIT -->
		<tcp ip="localhost" port="9000" telnet="disable"/>

		<!-- Sets the shared key used by zone/launcher to connect to world -->
		<key>somelongrandomstring12345</key>
		
		<!-- Enable and set the port for the HTTP service.  Defaults are shown -->
		<http port="9080" enabled="false" mimefile="mime.types" />

and so on. I can see the server listed from computers outside of the LAN but they just go back to the login screen after a minute of trying to connect.

Unless im missing what you are trying to get me to do completely, I believe vmware is blocking something...just have no clue how to get it to stop.
