Host=eqemulator.net:5996

and when i go to login it says error a time out has acorred how do i fix this did i put it in wrong or what please help

p.s. now do i need to download a file or something or what

Code:

[LoginServer]

Host=eqemulator.net:5995

or for the 5.8-DR1 use 5996.

now a new problem when i go to login it still says a timeout has acerred

plus when i go to double check to see if eqhost is the same and bam it adds this

[LoginServer] ]
Host=eqemulator.net:5996

[LoginServer]

thats all you need.

then why is it still saying a timeout has acoured

When it says "A timeout has occurred" have you been in the server select screen for a while or is it right after you click "login" after putting in your password? The only times I've ever seen that error is when I login to the server select and go get a soda or something....staying in that screen too long times you out.

Having the exact same problem as both of you.
I set it to read only

[LoginServer]
Host=eqemulator.net:5996

tryed to log in once again and it says "error - a time out has occured"

Your problem lies in your typing I would imagine.. You need a ":" (colon) after net but before 5996

@Skitterb123 and Valex

Make sure you followed these instructions to the "T" check them again just to make sure..:

Quote:

1 - Reset Authorization
First you will need to reset your "authorization". You'll need to do this only once, unless eqlive changes the key they use in the client or if you want to change your password. Point your browser to the following age to reset it.
http://www.eqemulator.net/eqresetauthrequest.php

The login/password you enter here is what you would normally enter on the loginserver. It is not your forum account name and password.

Notice it has your IP listed. This is only needed in resetting your authorization. Once your authorization is updated, you can log in to the login server from any IP (see below).

2 - Login to EQ
First, change your eqhost.txt to:
Code:
[LoginServer]
Host=eqemulator.net:5996

Also go into your eqhost.txt file and make sure there are no spaces after the ] on the first line and after 5996, AND make sure there is NO blank line after this. This MAY not make a difference, but sometimes, depending on what text editor you are using it will insert a /n (newline) character after that and could be misinterpreted....
