Project 1999 - Server Not Responding Msg After Character Select

As stated in title, i can't get past the character select screen. I can create new characters but they can't enter the world. I have used Duxa's all in one installer so i am up to date with P99 files.

I didn't know much about routers two weeks ago. This has been driving me nuts, and now i know more than i could ever want to about routers lol.

So, i have forwarded all the standard EQ ports (1024,6000,7000). However, i know that EQ uses other random ports aswell. I also created a DMZ, but that didn't allow me to connect either, so i removed it (bcos it leaves me wide open). I was curious to know, does EQ use UPnP? I have it activated, and it is opening a port for EQ but i think it needs to open up more maybe, so, i'm not sure whether EQ is compatible with it.

When i look through my dbg.txt in the log files, this is the script around when i am in character select, and during the connect error:

After reading the dbg.txt file i obviously tried opening the ports mentioned (7042 and 33307) but i am still not having any luck.

Any help to get me on P99 is muchly appreciated :)
