OK..I just went through all this a few weeks ago so I think I can answer your
question..
First you must realize that the emulator is not live compatible at the moment
so you may be out of luck if you have just installed the game. You need a compatible version wich means you must have installed the game and patched before May11..Its not possible to just install the game and not patch either.
If you think you may have the right version then follow the instructions
here...

Except that the eqhost text file should say...
[LoginServer]
Host=eqemulator.net:5998
Thats it! LOL!
Remember that the shortcut is to eqgame.exe.. So if you try to start the game from your new shortcut and the game tries to patch you created a shortcut to the wrong .exe
If you try to start the game and it say something like "Please run Everquest.exe then you forgot to add the patchme argument to the properties of the shortcut.(leave a space after the last quotation)
Its not enough to be registered at the forums..You must register as a user in order to log into the game..
If all is well you should be able to see the servers on the list. Pick PEQ The grand creation and see if you can create a character. If you get something like error 1017 then you are not compatible most likely. You will have to wait or in a pinch use Win XP system restore if had the game installed and patched sometime in late April or Early May..If the game just hangs there and does nothing you probably are not compatible either.
I hope I helped you.
