Default same problem

Yes I'm having same problem.
First, having trouble logging into character selection. Once there, I click server to connect to, screen goes black and it goes nowhere. Is this because I've patched EQ? I want to be able to play EverQuest on regular server and on Emu, can anyone explain how I would do that?

Looking at the date on the first post (2004), it seems that this tutorial was written in the days when this project was keeping up with Live. We no longer do so, and instead must use EQ Titanium. Nothing else will work.

Yes. You will need to uninstall EverQuest completely and reinstall a fresh copy of Titanium before you can begin the proper setup again. Sorry.

Yes. You will need to install your EQ Titanium to one directory, then make a whole other copy of it. You can use on EQ directory to play Live and one to play here on EQEmu. Just be sure you have entirely separate folders.

The most important step for getting EQEmu setup properly is to install it and then not patch it. This here is the short and sweet guide to getting set up. Good luck!

While trying to login, i get an error saying unable to establish connection with servers. Please check your connection to the internet.

I have tried putting a hardwire into my cable wire to bypass the router as well as disabled my windows firewall with no luck.

What is my next step of action to fix these problems?

Are you running EQ Titanium? Other versions won't work. The only other things you need to do are to set your eqhost.ini the way it shows in the Wiki tutorial and also create a shortcut to eqgame.exe with the patchme option in the shortcut as shown in the wiki. If you have all of those set, you shouldn't have issues getting connected. The only other reason you wouldn't be able to connect would be if the login server is down, which does happen. It was down for a long time yesterday. Normally it is fairly stable though.

If you have windows set not to show known file extensions (which is the default windows setting), it will only show the file name as eqhost. And there is a chance that you might have named it eqhost.txt.txt, which obviously wouldn't work.
