I am in the same situation here.
Select server
Hit the play everquest button
Screen goes black, then comes back to server select.
I get the following error

I am running the server on a LAN, but disabled the XP Firewall just incase. Didn't make any difference though.

Any advice appreciated.

That is what I'm getting with all of the servers when I try to join one.

I am getting the same error also...I finally gave up cause I couldn't figure out a solution and no one seems to post it here or don't know

I have posted the fixes about 15 times already. If all else fails, don't use XP. The fixes are all over the place.

a_Guest03, you may have posted what you think the fix is, but it is not working. Please don't presume that we haven't already read your posts. I for one have been through the posts in both General and Win32 forums looking for (and attempting) fixes. Telling us not to use WinXP if all else fails is not a valid solution to the problem.

This problem may only exist for WinXP users (and not all of them it seems), but it doesn't mean it isn't any less of a problem.

I did a search for your fixes...none of them worked. I am using windows xp on my laptop and I can get into eqemu fine and play.
just can't get in local. I downloaded and set eqemu for a local server on my desktop to..which is running win 98 and it gives me the same error also

[a_Guest03]

From what internet connection did you get your laptop patched, Parrin? Was it from your same home line? Also, did you try to patch them on different days?

[Parrin]

I have patched them both (desktop and laptop) diffrent days...I have patched the laptop from my work connection and from home...home is cox at home cable modem..and at work we have a t1.

Don't know for sure :? Try taking home PC to work on the weekend for a patch. :juggle:
