I just installed Everquest and followed the steps to make it compatible with EQEmulator. When I try and login it just sit's at "Logging in to the server. Please wait.." Any ideas?

Which steps are you referring to ? We need links to the guide you are going by.

We are not mind readers, what exactly have you done ? Have you edited your eqhost.txt and if so, post that here.

Also you left out what client you are trying to work with (TIT, SOD, SOF, UF), etc...

Sorry, I thought http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka.php?wakka=PlayGuide would be obvious. I also followed the first steps in the Project1999 guide http://www.project1999.org/forums/showthread.php?t=2651 up until customizing it for look and feel. I have not edited the eqhost.ini file, only the eqhost.txt file.

That is the one I was referring to. Paste exactly what you have in the eqhost.txt file into this post. Also we still need to know which client.

Titanium client.

eqhost.txt:

[LoginServer]
Host=eqemulator.net:5998

Make sure nothing is blocking access to port 5998. Temporarily disable any firewalls.

Tried disabling my firewall and it still didn't work. I'm thinking maybe I have to allow access through my router. I typed in 5998 as the internal and external port yet it still doesn't work. Ps thanks for the help by the way.

If your hardwire firewall is blocking it, but I would doubt it, there is a disable somewhere. Most hardware firewalls block incoming, but not outgoing access.

Ok now I swear I have Titanium, but I decided to try port 5999 and for some reason it worked. Thanks for suggestions though, I appreciate it.
