The <chatserver> and <mailserver> blocks need to be moved outside of the <world> block, i.e. move the chatserver and mailserver blocks after the </world> line, so it's like this:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<server>
<world>
<shortname>xxxxx</shortname>
<longname>xxxxxxxxxxxxx</longname>

<!-- Loginserver information. -->
<loginserver>
<host>eqemulator.net</host>
<port>5998</port>
<account>xxxxxx</account>
<password>xxxx</password>
</loginserver>

<!-- Sets the shared key used by zone/launcher to connect to world -->
<key>make up some random string of characters here</key>

<!-- Enable and set the port for the HTTP service -->
<http port="9080" enable="true" mimefile="mime.types"/>
</world>

<chatserver>
<host>68.xx.xx.xxx</host>
<port>3000</port>
</chatserver>

<mailserver>
<host>68.xx.xx.xxx.</host>
<port>3000</port>
</mailserver>

<!-- Database configuration, replaces db.ini -->
<database>
<host>127.0.0.1</host>
<port>xxxx</port>
<username>root</username>
<password>xxxxxxxx</password>
<db>peq</db>
</database>
</server>

What happens when you try and join a channel, e.g. /join general
Any error messages ?

You can enable enhanced logging from the chatserver.exe process by creating a log.ini file in the same directory as the .exe and adding:
Code:
UCS=on
and restarting your server.

Finally, if you see error messages in the chatserver.exe window about chat/mailkeys not matching, you may need to set this rule to false in your rules table:
Code:
Chat:EnableMailKeyIPVerification

Sounds like possibly networking issue then.

If you are hosting it on your home connection and it is purely for private use, you will want to specify your internal IP address in the chatserver/mailserver blocks, .e.g 192.168.x.x or whatever.

If you want to connect from your local LAN but want other players to connect from the Internet, you will need to specify a hostname (using dyndns if you have a dynamic external IP) for your server rather than it's IP address, and then in the c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file on the PCs on the same local LAN as the server, have an entry mapping the hostname to your internal IP address.

If people need to connect from the Internet you will have to forward port 7778 on your router to the internal IP address of your server.

in your host file
Code:
192.168.1.X    myname.dyndns.com
you may not actually have to do this depending on a number of networking setup possibilities. The point of it is that you want to be able to do a ping myname.dyndns.com from the computer you are playing on and have it resolve to the internal IP of your server.

in your eq config file change the address for the chatserver and mail server to myname.dyndns.com also.

here is how my server is setup
Code:
	<!-- Chatserver (channels) information.  Defaults shown -->
	<chatserver>
		<host>eq.daerma.com</host>
		<port>7778</port>
	</chatserver>

	<!-- Mailserver (in-game mail) information.  Defaults shown -->
	<mailserver>
		<host>eq.daerma.com</host>
		<port>7778</port>
	</mailserver>
here is my hosts file from my desktop that I play on.
Code:
10.253.1.23			eq.daerma.com
my server's ip is 10.253.1.23 if you do ping of eq.daerma.com you will get my public address, whatever it is at the moment.
