Login Server Down?

[Aena]

Just to clarify.. when I say HOSTS file I dont mean eqhost.txt.. I mean the HOSTS file. I dont remember the actual path on windows or linux but you can easily find it by doing a file search and it shouldnt have any extension, should just be called HOSTS.

Also, something to look into if you are running a firewall is to make sure your firewall isnt blocking the loginserver address or the loginserver port. A friend of mine was running his eqemu server on Vista Business Edition and windows firewall was treating eqemulator as suspicious software and was blocking it, my friend had to open up windows firewall and set it to allow the connection.

theres actually a ton of ways that your pc can stop you from connecting to the loginserver. I suggest you make a list of all suggestions youve tried and start checking them off as you try them, soon or later you'll get it solved through trial and error heh.

hope you get it working, take care.

made a small error on my part concerning flush dns was typing fast and didnt check my typing.. command for windows should be

at c:\

type:

ipconfig /flushdns

if using Vista you will have to run as administrator. you can do so by clicking start menu then type cmd in search box. right click on cmd icon and click run as administrator, then cd.. until you get to the c:\ prompt. now type the ipconfig /flushdns command. dont use vista much sorry about my inaccuracy lol.
