So I've got my server all setup; the SQL DB is working, everything compiled correctly and everything seems to connect and run smoothly.
With the exception of the client.
I'm using a no-ip redirect (derpro.servegame.com) to overcome the fact that my ISP doesn't issue users a static IP address.
All the necessary ports are open, I've set everything up in my *_confs as follows:

(And yes, the password fields are properly filled out, I just blanked them in this post.)
I'm using the client from 2012-04-10 properly diffed (with DNS support enabled and WITHOUT "read data folder first" and "read lua before lub"). Furthermore I've got everything packed away in a grf and my data.ini looks like this:
I know the client is reading the clientinfo.xml because it's displaying the <display /> and <balloon /> tags.
But it just doesn't seem to find the server. Or maybe the server just seems to be ignoring the client entirely as I don't even get a hint of connection on the login server.
The only thing I haven't checked this morning is if the packetver lines up... because I know it does from having checked it before compiling the server!
I'm stuck. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for any and all help and suggestions.
P.S.: I'll be gone for the next few days to a place without an internet connection, so sorry in advance if I don't reply for a while.

Edited by GacruxMore specifically the client in question is the one posted here:
