partial update...there were a number of configuration issues that were not spelled out. I don't think I fixed the problem, but I did manage to get a work around up and running =D (I hate c++)
1) there are about 3 tables that need to have server information
2) sometimes the password is encoded (don't think it's MD5...) and sometimes it's plain text (I only figured this out from reading the screen as it was crashing to see which was which)
3) the server configuration in eqemu_config for the World server needs to match on the short and long description entered into the DB for the login server
4) eqemu_config needs to have the localaddress set to your Login Server IP and the <login> section needs to have the username and password (unencrypted) for the Login Server (the one you need to enter into one of the server registration tables for the Login tables)
5) [My C++ workaround...] I recompiled the Login Server code and added a try-catch(char* e) statement to the Main method....this code might not actually be helping....but it worked in combination with everything else...so, if you're still stuck...try this. (The reason I hate C++ is that there is not CLR, and inorder to catch an exception, a specific and known exception must be in the catch statement...which leads me to believe this didn't work but was a coincidence, but I'm not looking this gift horse in the mouth)
I'll try to post again tonight with the specific tables; though, in the mean time, look at the names and columns for each of the Login Server and enter info with your best guess. If you read this before I update and find it didn't work, try to capture the error you're receiving and provide details on what you have done and what the error states =D
