I will try to explain in more detail specifically what I have done so it hopefully makes more sense.  Please let me know if additional information is needed.  Thanks again in advance for all your help 
 
on server number one (this is the default setup and works perfectly)I have a static ip of xxx.xxx.1.101 on this server I have ports  
telnet	port 9000 and forwarded to xxx.xxx.1.101  
chatserver and mailserver port 7778 and forwarded them to xxx.xxx.1.101 
database port 3306 and forwarded it to xxx.xxx.1.101  
zones ports 7000-7400 and forwarded to xxx.xxx.1.101 
 
on server number two (this is the sandbox server I'm trying to get up and running)I have a static ip of xxx.xxx.1.21 on this server in the server config file /server/eqemu_config.json I changed the following ports  
telnet	port 9000 changed to 8000 and forwarded to xxx.xxx.1.21 
chatserver and mailserver port 7778 changed to 6778 and forwarded them to xxx.xxx.1.21 
database port 3306 changed to 2306 and forwarded it to xxx.xxx.1.21 
zones ports 7000-7400 changed to 6000-6400 and forwarded to xxx.xxx.1.21 
on this server I also edited /server/login.json and changed the server port from 3306 to 2306 and then forwarded this port to xxx.xxx.1.21 
 
Yes the computer that i’m able to connect is on the same network as the server and has an ip of xxx.xxx.1.104  My buddy is not on the network and has his own external ip and can not connect.
