While not directly related to the problem you are having, setting you EQEmu userid and password to the same as your EQLive userid/password is unwise.

This board was hacked a while back and the md5 password hashes compromised. There has since been a separation of the board/server accounts and passwords which makes things more secure, but you should still be cautious and use a different userid/password here than you do on EQLive ....
