Server Connection Issues

[toad]

There is a good call!

from the dbg.txt file :

[Thu Dec 09 10:26:56 2010]00035:Networking: using port [61593].
[Thu Dec 09 10:26:56 2010]00036:Networking: Connection Established [1]
[Thu Dec 09 10:27:56 2010]00037:*** WorldAuthenticate. Error connecting to :9000 [clientisconnectReasonConnectFail,serverisconne ctReasonNone]

[Thu Dec 09 10:27:56 2010]00038:Networking: Connection Closed [0] with 0 pending bytes.
[Thu Dec 09 10:27:56 2010]00039:*** ERROR: WorldAuthenticate has failed after attempting to connect.


so it looks like when passing my creds to the world server (ie, the EQ DB) it said denied me access, which makes sense because i don't think i have an account on the EQ DB. Did i miss a step that tells me how to create an account on the EQ DB? I ran the player .sql import, but that was against the login server DB....

That Error: 1017 usually means you have a problem with the client and reinstalling usually fixes it. Do you have a dbg.txt in your C:\...\Everquest\Logs directory? What does it say (I'm not sure if one would be generated just at server select).
