I can't see shit from this. But my first guess is to check if the port is right. You tried either 43595 and 43596?
Edit: also Luke is right with 0.0.0.0. it needs to be 127.0.0.1 or even "localhost" will work

i am having the very same exact issue for a week now of trying to get this damn client to connect from any other pc than the vps localhost. the client on the vps starts just fine and finds the webserver it keeps saying it is looking for when you start the client. i am using the 2006Redone from mr extreme (sorry if i got your name wrong).
now here is my problem.
1. i am 100% NEW to the runescape scene and was asked by a friend of mine to help get her 2006 server up and running since i have had a ton of experience with other games and running/building/programming them but this game is a strange duck for sure !!! so yes i know i am a noob with these files so no need to insult me like you did the OP and call me stupid for not knowing wtf is going on here cause i already know im dumb ... this week has proven that much since i have got my ass whipped by something i am SURE is a simple fix.
2. everything loads fine on my vps and yes all my ports are opened for the game to work and i can load the client and play. i do not want a local game though so i am trying to connect from several PCs with the same problem every single time. trying to connect to webserver ... failed to connect attemting again in blah blah blah ...
3. i have changed the ip to my vps ip, i have opened all ports, the cache is loading to the C:/users/mypc folder as it should and i still can not get this client to connect.
4. when i run my xampp i get the 127.0.0.1/80 and when its not running i get the 0.0.0.0/80 so idk wtf that is all about but anyway ... i have scoured the entire source MANY MANY times for 127.0.0.1, 0.0.0.0, localhost and anything that would point me to the place that i would need to change the ip for this invisible damn webserver ...
so far all i have seen when people have asked how to fix this is that they are stupid and should know already (if your new and you were too once than how the hell would that happen huh), its an easy fix figure it out or you shouldnt be using such and such this and that (well again sorry we noobs are not pros out of the box we cant all be great like you guys), or they flat out do not answer at all.
my guess is you just dont know he asnwers yourself and dont want to look stupid too so you choose to belittle the guy who needs genuine help.
now i ask for the love of all that is holy would SOMEONE PLEASE tell us noobs how to fix this stupid aggrevating recurring issue???
i will build a shrine to you and make you my god !!
edit: finally figured it out but it is probably not the correct way. i added the client source into my eclipse on my external PC and it loads the client and connects to the VPS. not sure why eclipse was needed to run the client when it comes with a Client.jar file which i assumed was what i needed to make this run on any PC without using eclipse.
Get yourself a static ip for the vps, export a new runnable jar of the client after you have changed the client to connect to the static ip. send the jar file to who ever and they should be able to connect.
It sounds like the Client.jar has the localhost ip built into it so thats why it would only connect on your vps/host machine..
