Server Connection Issues...

Hi everybody! Short time lurker/player, first time caller.
I have recently started playing Arelith again, and have been having a blast. Still love the community like normal, and pretty happy about the small changes I have been finding and seeing, been loving my experience so far! So, a friend of mine became interested, has an uninstalled copy of NwN and all expansions, and wanted me to help get him playin'. He's not so computer savy, so I told him I would help with the install. Now I am to a point, on his laptop, where I can get NwN fired up with the NWNCX, and get to the realm listing, on 1.69, and jump in to servers. Only thing is, I can't get him logged on to Arelith, by realm listing with the NWNCX, or direct connect. I keep getting a the error "Attempting to find server" ... "Server found: attempting to log in" ... "Connection to server failed" ... "Connection to server timed out".
Where when I go to log on to other servers, for instance, Ravenloft or Cormyr, it just dumps me right in to the character vault at character customization. Then, after, promps me to download their .hak files. So I am not sure? Kinda stumped. The copy of the game is an official NwN Diamond edition, yada yada, everything seems fine. Singleplayer works, and I am connecting with other servers. What do you suppose I try?
I have downloaded the critical rebuild 1.69 and regular 1.69, downloaded nwncx, and I think thats it? Is there something I am missing? It's been several years since I have installed my current NwN copy that I play on, so I am not sure if I have missed something, or if there is a specific bug going on. What do ya think?
