Are you trying to connect to 5.7 or 5.8. Your EQhost file is there it just needs to be changed the contents of it are incorrect. If your connecting to 5.7 it should say
Code:
[LoginServer]
Host=eqemulator.net:5995
for 5.8 it should be
Code:
[LoginServer]
Host=eqemulator.net:5996
Also one of the most important parts is remember to remove any spaces after those lines it will not work if you do not delete spaces after them. And when you copy from this board it automaticaly adds them. Please check for those things one or the other should solve your problem. Either that you logged in at a bad time when server was down.
Theres also a post out there for using 2 login servers incase one is down i dont know the code off the top of my head but its pretty recent and you should be able to find it easy its optional as long as the server your playing on has taken the required steps to use both.[/code]
