or maybe u have the wrong port on l2control, try this, close all open programs, leave only lineage open, log into server, then go to windows start menu, click on "run" command, type "cmd", in the black box type "netstat" this will show u current connections on your pc, it will show lineage connection, look into the ports (if ur pc name is videur it will show videur:2312 por example) look at the correct linege connection or ip adress, put that port on options in l2control, search in options for a number like 7777, and change it for the number u saw in "netstat" command, maybe this work for u. sorry my bad english! :)
