how to log onto live server???

[Prince]

ok so i decided i was gonna log onto live for shits and giggles but having a problem. i ran everquest.exe and it spent ~15 minutes patching to live. the problem is i can't login. when i initially open everquest it goes to the station login thing. i login there and it checks for patches etc, realizes its fully patched then goes to the EULA thing. I hit accept there and it opens the everquest game window login screen, but right off the bat I get a popup that says "Connection to the server could not be reached, check website for downtime etc."

I can't figure out how to fix this, checked eqhost file and idk wut else to look at.
