"You are currently logging in. Please wait a moment."
and thats it..

You are not even hitting your loginserver if it's stuck at "You are currently logging in." Below are a couple of reasons why you are stuck at that screen.
1) You didn't configure loginserver.properties with the right Internalhostname/Externalhostname IP.
2) You don't have the right HOSTS file IP for l2authd.lineage2.com or you mispelled L2AUTHD.LINEAGE2.COM on the client PC.
3) You didn't forward loginserver port 2106 to your Internalhostname IP in your router.
4) Double check your loginserver and gameserver properties file and make sure you USED the same IP (whether it's internal or external) in both loginserver and gameserver config files.
5) Double check your HOSTS file for mispelling or wrong IP address.
6) Disable your firewall temporarily if you are still having connection issue. If the firewall is the culprit, you'll know right away.
While back my ISP made me change my Internet Protocol Properties from automatically to Manual..
Same with Preferred DNS server and Alt server. Would this affect anything?
Shouldn't have anything to do with your current problem. I do believe your problem is user error in the configuration of your server. It really shouldn't be this hard to set up a L2J server. The documentation is fairly well written and I had numerous friends who had limited PC/networking background and they were able to get their own test server up and running on the first try. Follow the directions, if you believe you had done it correctly, DOUBLE CHECK your steps because you obviously missed something if it's not working.
