Timeout error in Debian/Lenny (wine 0.9.57)
 

Hello,

I'm able to run eqgame.exe just fine, but after I log in, no servers show up. Also, about every minute an error dialog pops up, "Error - A timeout occurred".

I've successfully played the game with the same account on a Windows XP box so it's not an account issue.

Has anyone else experienced the same issue? Any fixes/ideas?

Thanks

If you installed from a distro, you probably have a firewall up too. The first thing to do is check and see if those ports needed by EQ are open on the firewall. If you're behind a router, then usually the router has its own firewall (unless you set it to DMZ), You can disable software firewall all together.

ahh, that must be it. I'm trying to connect through the my college dorm's network. Good thing I work at the computer lab so I can connect there after hours :)
