Need help making my own server.

I am not sure if it is supposed to be posted here(made an acc for this forums a long time ago, but kind of never used it).

But, I am trying to make my own V5165 server, hosting it on my desktop(W7 x64) computer at this moment(when everything is working and I added my own NPCs/features, I will host it on a dedicated server/VPS).

I got it as far as it being online and being able to create accounts.

When I try to log on the client turns black for about 5-10 seconds and then it says this:
[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]

Even though the client can see that the server is online:
[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]
When I turn of the server:
[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]
By this I assume the server is online, and the client is working.


Do you guys have any suggestions why I can't connect?

I am kind of new to the world of making my own Co Private server, so if more information is required, please tell!


#edit:

I cant seem to get the pictures show as image or hyperlink o.O

It's not able to connect to your server meaning your settings are incorrect as far as the loader is concerned.

Check the IP and port you're using as well as the sever itself.

Also, you should be posting this in the 5165 official FAQ thread instead but not an issue currently. A mod will move this for you.
