Make sure you are patched to live... Then REMAKE a different account from the beginning... then delete your eqhost.txt file and hand type a new one (not copy and paste) to make sure there are NO spaces in it... then try again...

I can tell you whats wrong.

You have spaces after each line. Remove them.

Looks as though you are right, AND he has a blank line after also... Need to get rid of that...

[edit] Think I am going to add this to my "One Stop Error Guide" obviously this is a repeating problem... hehe.

No... Type this into your eqhost.txt file just as it appears (except when I tell you to hit a key or type NOSPACE...

Code:

[Loginserver]NOSPACEHitEnterNow

Host=eqemulater.net:5996NOSPACEDoNotHitEnter

Now save the program, you should see the blinking cursor RIGHT after the 5996 with NO spaces before you save... This will make it correct...

Okay do this:

Save this as eqhost.bat in your EQ Directory:

Code:
@echo off
echo Generating eqhost...
if exist eqhost.txt del eqhost.txt
if not exist eqhost.txt echo COULD NOT FIND EQHOST.TXT, but creating anyway...
echo [Loginserver]>eqhost.txt
echo Host=eqemulator.net:5996>>eqhost.txt
Echo Done.
pause
exit

Then go into your EverQuest directory where you saved this and run it. If it brings up Notepad, you didnt save it under the right name. If it brings up a dos window and says "Done" at the 2nd to last line, then hit enter and start EQ.

Yeesh.
