MQ2 Installation help

Hello!

I'm a long time eqemu player and eq player since Kunark Release! I've recently decided to try and dive into the world of mq2 after re-starting up on this server and am having serious issues getting it to work.

I run the Underfoot client, and have tried the following, to no avail:
UF/Classic build (mqemulator.net)
UF/PEQ build (mqemulator.net)
UF source and EQBC source before downloading builds (mqemulator.net)
MQ2 Source from mq2 website and compiled using c++ compilers

With the builds simply nothing happens. I open the macroquest2.exe and the tray icon appears, and I open eqbc and the command prompt appears and endlessly states
"Waiting for connections on port: 2112..."
When I log in, however, no connections are made, and no mq2 chatbox is visible.

With the compiled source, I get an "Error in inject" when I try to open my THF client or when I try to reset injections using the tray icon. I have updated my .NET framework and my directx to no success.

I'm not looking for anything fancy, mostly just move and cast and positioning macros, as I only 4-5 box. (no raid boxing, at least, not until exploring and understanding mq2 :P)

Any help is greatly appreciated!

The order you launch matters: EQBCServer first, then MQ2, then WinEQ/ISBoxer (if applicable), then launch your instances.

Edit: I use UF/Classic from mqemulator, haven't compiled anything myself or modified anything contained within beyond writing macros.
