Config Issue, need some help :/

[monteros]

First of all, thank you to everyone that helped, and a special thanks to Tamian for really helping me dig in deep and figure this out Thanks.

Root Cause: Ultimately the issue was related to this server being hosted in a cloud, and being behind a routed firewall with a public IP that was then NATed to an internal address on this hosts private network.

FIX:Here is the final eqemu_config.xml that worked: (please note the code in bold and yellow in this file was added at Tamian's recommendation, it was not in the original file that came with the prebuilt server install.)

<?xml version="1.0">
<server>
	<world>
		
		<shortname>CV</shortname>
		<longname>![CV] Crypic Virtue: Luclin</longname>

		<address>10.70.1.10</address>
		<localaddress>10.70.1.10</localaddress>

		<loginserver1>
			<legacy>1</legacy>
			<host>login.eqemulator.net</host>
			<port>5998</port>
			<account>yourWorldServerAccountName</account>
			<password>yourPassword</password>
		</loginserver1>
		<loginserver2>
			<host>127.0.0.1</host>
			<port>5999</port>
			<account>Admin</account>
			<password>yourAdminPassword</password>
		</loginserver2>


		<tcp ip="127.0.0.1" port="9001"/>
		<telnet ip="0.0.0.0" port="9000" enabled="true"/>

		<key>WXhTCfGCjNAW2SwEW0FIiuaNVMhQHHQ</key>

		<http port="9080" enabled="true" mimefile="mime.types" />
	</world>

	<chatserver>
		<host>10.70.1.10</host>
		<port>7500</port>
	</chatserver>

	<mailserver>
		<host>10.70.1.10</host>
		<port>7500</port>
	</mailserver>

	<zones>
	<defaultstatus>0</defaultstatus>

	<ports low="7000" high="7400"/>
	</zones>

	<database>
	   <host>localhost</host>
	   <port>3306</port>
	   <username>root</username>
	   <password>eqemu</password>
	   <db>peq</db>
	</database>	

	<qsdatabase>
	   <host>localhost</host>
	   <port>3306</port>
	   <username>root</username>
	   <password>eqemu</password>
	   <db>peq</db>
	</qsdatabase>

	<webinterface>
		<port>9081</port>
	</webinterface>

	<launcher>
	</launcher>

	<files>
	</files>
	<directories>
	</directories>
</server>

I also made one small change and corrected the login.ini file entry for the local_network definition to the following to reflect the internal IP for the host:

local_network = 10.70.1.0

After the above changes were made, I started the server using the t_start_server_wlogin script and it worked perfectly!

Thanks again to everyone and Tamian!
