A connection to the server could not be reached.

I don't know if this has anything to do with anything, but the most recent modified items in my everquest folder after I try to connect are the files:
eqhost.txt
UIErrors.txt
eqlsPlayerData.ini

I've already posted the eqhost.txt

the UIErrors.txt has

If you still can't connect after doing a full reinstall after deleting the complete EQ folder, then the problem is most likely a port issue. It sounds like port 5998 may be blocked on your network somehow.

Though, you might also want to see if you can connect without installing any of the custom files you installed after the installation.

Funny you should mention the last thing, because that was the latest thing I did, I did a complete fresh re install without adding the files from project 1999, I still get the same error.

I wonder how to get by a port issue if it's blocked by my ISP.

I am having the same issue here. I have contacted my ISP about it and they state they have no port forwarding or port blocking going on.

All of a sudden I just couldn't log in anymore.

I have tried everything disabling firewall, system restoring to earlier this month, reinstalling drivers for my cards.

At this point I think the only option left is to ask you guys to reboot your LS because I am pretty sure a hub that the connection was going through went down and your LS ip has not been reset to accont for a new path.

If you can reach this website, and you can ping www.eqemulator.org, then your route to the Login Server should be fine (they are on the same host). Have you tried rebooting your router/modem or resetting them to factory defaults and setting them back up again?

When you say you can't log in anymore, do you mean you get an account/password error, or that it times out, or that you don't see the server list? The more details, the better.

It times out without letting me get to the server select screen. I cannot reset anything other than the switch in the tent seeing as its satellite internet and the actual modem is unavailable. I have contacted the ISP to see if they started to block or port forward and they said nothing as changed since Tuesday of last week and they do not forward ports or block them.

The signal was interupted on tuesday do to heavy cloud cover so I am under the impression that the path has not been updated correctly after our hub went down which is why i was asking if you could restart the log in server to see if that fixes the problem.

SOE had this issues with live a few times where only a few people could not log in and it looks like they solved the problem by re booting the log in server.
