Unable to see server list

Finding similarities is probably a good idea for issues like this. You might also want to add what OS everyone having this problem is running. Maybe it is an issue with some Vista security feature.

Also, note that problems like this might happen if you have P2P or Torrent programs running on any of the PCs in your house. If you have any of these types of programs running, try closing them and see if that helps.

OK, I was playing around with this issue and I came up with a very strange solution. I made a copy of my entire EQ directory and created a new shortcut to it. When I tried to log in using that directory I got a timeout error.

THEN... I tried running my original shortcut and suddenly I can see the servers on both machines! I'm now able to log in. Prior to copying the directory I was unable to see the servers on my machines.

Anyone have any idea what that means?

i had the same effect today, but i remembered that i had set up a port forwarding for ventrilo 2 days ago. Removed that from the router configuration and now the server list is back. Strange, that port shouldn't have to do anything with EQ.

After reading for several hours and having the same problem i have come to this conclusion. Most have At&t and windows vista. I have been able to log on at the local panera breads wifi and worked fine. This tells me its not anything with my install or laptop. It is the provider or modem. I have ran straight modem and with router on both laptop and computer. I believe it is people with at&t that is having this problem or maybe its just the modem they provide. Reguardless i believe its them since it works fine at the coffee shops wifi.
