SERVER SELECTION ISSUES

[giobytes]

I start everquest.exe , it runs and checks the updates, it downloads the eqhost.txt and eqlclient as well after i modify them... so i re copy them in the eq directory, and then press play. I click on logon, type in my eqemu login and pass. brings me to the server selection.... now here is were i have the problem. when i select a server it either kicks me back to the login screeen or it gives me a run out time error . is there a fix >> i tried both eqhost logins. is there a seperate program i need to be running? any info will help ty ...PS if i try to run the game by using eqgame.exe it will pop up a message telling me to use everquest.exe...
and what does legit and non legit mean.
Sorry im new
