Yesterday morning (14th) I was logging on and playing with no problems. (only 1 server was open but it's all good

) Last evening A could no longer login using username and pass getting error 1001, and I'm having the same problems today. Is the problem on my end or server side?
My Eqhost file looks like this:
[Registration Servers]
{
"eqlogin1.eqemu.net:5997"
}
[Login Servers]
{
"eqlogin1.eqemu.net:5997"
}
and I am patched up to live.
any help would be appreciated.
PS: I realize that there is another post asking about error 1001 right below this, however, no one has posted ANY help in that thread, and have just directed people to other threads that DO NOT help. So I HAVE searched for help already and couldn't find it. please don't post telling me to 'run a search' or direct me to another thread.
