Ok, so, check this out. Got all the way to step 6. Error - A timeout has occurred.... Lets get some history. I've played EQ since it launched back in '99 sometime. Have a friend that plays here. My disks/downloads diddn't work here so I got the super shiny secrets of fadwyer disks from him(mind you, I have all the expansions including SOF... just downloaded, AND PAID FOR the recent ones) and had trouble with step 4 until I deleted the last extra spaces after all the text. Then I bashed my head into my monitor for a day searching this site and asking friends how to add patchme to the end of the text(just add a space dummy!) and now this. I've opened my firewall up to EQ Not sure how to goof with my proxy. Powered down my comp, router and modem, SEVERAL times, still I get: Error- a timeout has occurred... I enter my name and password and 2-3 seconds later the message pops up without fail. Dosn't matter if I double click the shortcut or right click and run as admin and click accept. (like I have to with the "offiial" servers) Anyone got any ideas or links that I might have missed? I feel like I'm beating a dead horse's great grandchildren, and I apologize for not being more computer savvy but this is the end of my rope. At least I still have enough to hang myself with it, LOL! Any help woud be greatly appreciated!
