connection error? hmm help help ^_^

[Legendary]

ok all.. currently playing A3SG with a lvl 155 holy knight but well the economy there has been bad recently so I thought I'll do up a Private server for me and my guildmates for some fun.

Ok.. I've got installed A3 v1.2 Server and have the 1.2 client file.

hmm I've done pretty much what most of the guild says.. Installing SQL server..
then creating the databases. Followed by the creating of System DSNs linking to each of the four respective databases (DBs).

All the nine components managed to boot up correctly without errors..
ASD7770, >>Running
ASD8880, >>Running
ASD9990, >>Running
LOGINSERVER,
LOGINAGENT,
ZONEAGENT,
MAINSERVER,
ACCOUNTSERVER,
ZONESERVER

I haven't really edited the ini files.. the manual says to leave 127.0.0.1 IPs as it is.. so I left (am I supposed to do anything to them?) it.. I've hexed the A3client.exe, all 4 IPs to 127.0.0.1 as I was testing it on the same computer. The updater was bypassed to so it remained at v1.2. Althought the server was operational, after running A3client.exe, I was unable to connect. It just showed a message:

Connecting...

Then it just stayed there and after a few minutes a dialog appeared: Disconnected from Server. Press ok to exit program.

Hmm.. could anyone pls help? (I do not know why it is unable to connect.) Many thanks ^_^
