I dunno what could be the problem then. You should be able to log into 0.7.0 servers without a problem with a fresh titanium install.

This is quite frustrating. I'm going to try installing it on my laptop tonight. I went through the setup for the client and all, and despite following the steps, have no had no luck on this computer. Normal everquest works fine when patching. There wasn't anything that I missed, such as a set of client files or a patcher or something that adds custom EQEmu content (ONLY, of course), was there? If there was, well then, I feel pretty dumb right now. Anyways, let's see if EQEmu just particularily HATES this computer, and maybe I can get somewhere from there...if not, then I've got a few more ideas up my sleeve still...I'm going to get my 20 bucks worth, dangit! =P

I don't understand all the message (i don't speak english very well)

Everquest titanium fresh patched work with the Real everquest (You suscribe one month).
but Everquest titanium without any patch don't work with Eqemu 0.7 server ?

have you follow this guide ? : http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka...akka=PlayGuide

I've followed that guide and done more. I know my computer and normal, paid, patched everquest itself get along fine. For whatever reason, my computer and EQEmu do NOT get along fine, despite a fresh install of Titanium with no patches. My Titanium version matches those of other people, and theirs works. My firewall is not the problem; I've turned it off completely and still could not run EQEmu. My antivirus is not the problem, either. I've turned it off, too. I am not behind some giant router of doom on a university campus; I am the network administrator on my home router, and I have also tried removing that firewall. Windows firewall is not up. My background program list does not seem to be the problem, as I have shut down all programs possible with no further results. My video card is fine; the game works perfectly when not playing EQEmu. I am running a Windows XP NTFS operating system, and that is a legit version of it, as well, so its not like it would be the OS.

Still stumped. Going to try a few more ideas. Don't know if anything will work, though...

And, I figure I should clarify now, not out of annoyance but rather because of past forum experiences for many games.... DON'T TELL ME TO LOOK AT THE GUIDE. I'VE DONE IT ALREADY, AND MY SITUATION IS UNIQUE AND UNFORTUNATE.

just curious post the contents of your hosts file.

Here's mine

# MXpie patch Revision: 2.9
# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.1.xxx game.242.ca #game.242.ca equals fqdn of externalip

Uhhh, does that matter? I am working on playing at this time, not making a server...that comes later. I'll check 'er out, though.

My hosts file on my laptop consists of only the localhost. It works fine. Will probably have to change to run a server, though...but I can do that later.

My laptop runs EQEmu fine with the same install CD. It had some visual problems, but that was because of the widescreen and was fixable by using a full screen mode instead of windowed mode. So, it is my computer. Gotta figure this out...

Oh, and I just checked out my hosts file. Same deal on my desktop computer (the one with the problem). I've got a few more ideas brewing. I'll say if I find anything out.

Be sure you've tried several different servers and can reproduce the problem on each of them. Sometimes the specific server is to blame.

As well, try the character creation with varying names, races, and classes. Maybe it's something with the specific race/class combo that's being a problem.
