Ok well i keep getting the 1017 error cannot log in, update all patches blah blah, any suggestions? How would i check to see i have a firewall up and running? and last question Should it always say the servers <name> LOCKED? I have checked my .ini in the eqemu directory and it says =false. so i dunno.
