Thanks Mudman.

Same thing here
 

Im also having this problem, and yes im on a slow (noisy line) dial-up connection. Heres what i posted earlier in another post:

I too have been having this problem, i havnt bothered to try eqemu in a long time, and the other day i noticed roaming mobs are in and the net code has been fixed a bit so its a bit more stable for dial-up users, so i decided to install eq (Clean install), patch up, and have a play, unfortunately when i try to play on any server i have the same problem as you, no characters are listed (Even after someone was nice enough to create a character for me from thier comp) and i timout after about 30 seconds at char select/creation (and i cant get past char creation because it hangs at "submitting name for server approval" until it times out).

Wonder if many other ppl have experienced this, and if someone has managed to overcome it.

Anyway heres a bit of info about my setup:

Im just running the EQ client on this comp trying to connect to one of the pre-existing servers.
Im running on WinXP and am connectiong to the net though a Win98SE box which is set up to use Microsofts crappy internet connection sharing, EQ is fully patched up, and im trying to connect to a server running eqemu 0.4.1 -DR4 (Which im told works with latest patch), though i did try other servers with the same result.

Anyway, if anyone manages to find a fix for this please dont hesitate to tell me, as i too would like to play
