Default Timeout error

**updated, for anyone else in the future
I kept messing with different ideas and I finally solved it by right clicking the main Everquest.exe icon, to run as admin...not the shortcut, but still using the shortcut to log in.




Hello all, recently returning to EQEmu after 6 or 7 years. I had been running it on my old desktop, but have switched over to my MacBook for portability recently. So I’ve never had it running yet on this rig.

I have an issue with a timeout error which happens right after entering my user name and password, before I can get to the server selection. I have not gotten past this error so far. Following the setup guide to a T as well as checking all of the various “timeout” thread suggestions hasn’t yielded results.

Did a complete removal and reinstall of EQ after the third failure. I’m hoping there is an obvious error I’m missing that someone much smarter can flern from what I have below...

Using Secrets of Faydwer disks on the following:

2011 MacBook Pro
Running osSierra

Bootcamp Windows 8.1

Eqhost.txt:
[LoginServer]
Host=login.eqemulator.net:5998

Shortcut target “C\Program Files (x86)\Sony\Everquest\eqgame.exe” patchme



Any help or suggestions are appreciated.
