Type in the IP address of your router. It should be something like 192.168.x.x although it might be something different. Look on the sticker underneath your router, and it will say what the IP address is.
Login to your router, with name = admin, pass = your pass.
Once you are in look through the settings. First of all make sure you have UPnP setup because it helps with connectivity for online games. (Test to see if EQ works).
At this point you'll want to set up a static IP (google it)
If the problem remains, then the next step is to forward the specific ports EQ is using. These ports are (1024, 6000, 7000). Now, the tricky thing is that EQ can random use other ports. So its a good idea to find out which ports the server you're trying to connect to uses. You can find out the IP address of a server by doing a DNS lookup (some routers have this feature in a diagnostics tab, otherwise, look online). I found the ports of the server by looking in my dbg.txt in the Log folder of my EQ directory. It should be mentioned in the dbg.txt around about where your connection error occurs. To forward ports, you put in the port numbers and fill in the IP of your computer. The IP of your computer is selected by the router and will be similiar numbers to the router IP, like 192.168.0.x. You can find this IP on your router stats section, where is says what computers are attached to the router.
If port forwarding doesn't work, then set up a DMZ on your router. Look in router settings for the tab. Select an IP for your DMZ.
