Keep joining official Servers help

[Kismet]

Hello. I started since yesterday, I want to host my own private server and followed this wonderful guide...
http://www.l2jserver.com/wiki/Setup_Server

I got the server stuff from this link;
http://www.l2jserver.com/nightly/

^ I saw it says the server files were for High Five, so I went to get the client here;
LINK REMOVED

I believe I have the Game Server and Login server working.

I changed my hostsfile to

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 l2authd.lineage2.com
66.240.255.107 nProtect.lineage2.com

So, the problem is. I'm still connecting to the official game servers only. My server isn't showing up in-game in the Lineage server list.

Anyone know what's wrong?

[Win7 64-bit]
[MySQL 5.5]
[MySQL Workbench 5.2]

i just wanted to ask something about the client ...
i downloaded the exact same setup as kismet above but when i run the shortcut i have an message error
the connection to the update server is terminated and as the guide says : http://trac.l2jserver.com/wiki/Client
When a New L2 Chronicle is released, is time to use L2.bin instead of LineageII.exe (this is located in "Lineage II\system\" directory) to run the game.
