titanium client

[Rogean]

Post your EQHost.txt contents please

[Rogean]

Also do a DNS Flush:

Start -> Run (Or type): cmd <enter> -> ipconfig /flushdns

[PartVI]

[LoginServer]
Host=login.eqemulator.net:5998

Is what I have

[Rogean]

Open a command prompt and ping login.eqemulator.net, tell me what IP address it gives you.

[dianamel]

[LoginServer]
Host=login.eqemulator.net:5998

67.23.190.71

[canker]

the ipconfig flushdns looks like it fixed it for me. thanks brogean

[Velerin]

ipflush worked here, thanks!

[PartVI]

Pings to 67.23.190.71 and times out, no packets returned. Thanks by the way.

No luck with the flush here.

[slouth]

I get 67.23.190.71

[Rogean]

Last Resort. This should only be a temporary fix. You should undo these changes after a day or two.

Go to C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc

Open the file "hosts" in notepad.

Add a line to the bottom of the file:

108.61.129.166 login.eqemulator.net


If you have trouble with these steps you should probably wait it out and keep trying to flushdns.

[dianamel]

how exactly do you flush dns? i typed in what you posted but it didnt work, i dont know if i did it right

[Rogean]

If you're having problems with my instructions then you can probably find a video on youtube to help you.

[runlvlzero]

/pras rogean for teaching nerd shit to these newbz

[Rogean]

flush didn't work, but the IP i get is 108.61.129.166

And you can't login? Can you ping it?

[Rogean]

yeah it lets me ping it, just doesn't let me log in

Your eqhost.txt file DOES say login.eqemulator.net right?

[Rogean]

i haven't changed it since i started playing here in 2010, unless it was specified within a patch between then and now

Stop assuming and open it up and look.

[dianamel]

ok I flushed dns, but still can't log in, hrmm

[PartVI]

how exactly do you flush dns? i typed in what you posted but it didnt work, i dont know if i did it right

With a windows command prompt... Run > Cmd or CMD in Windows 7 Start menu bar you type "ipconfig/flushdns" and see if that works. Minus the quotes of course.

[PartVI]

By the way, the last resort fix worked for me. I had to copy the hosts file out of the specified folder, edit it, then paste it over the old one.

Thanks Rogean!

[dianamel]

anyone get anything to work if flushdns didnt?

[reborn649]

67.23.190.71 when i ping login.eqemulator.net and times out.

If i ping 108.61.129.166 it will receive a reply.

I have tried the "last resort" fix and still cannot get logged in. The "hosts" file is in the Systems32>Drivers>Etc if that makes any difference? Should i move the hosts file elsewhere? This is how i have it posted at the bottom of the hosts file "
# 108.61.129.166 login.eqemulator.net" I have also flushed the DNS probably 20x now with no luck.

Anyone find a workaround yet if they are having similar issue still?

[PartVI]

Reborn, I didn't put the # in front of what he said to enter. Literally just placed it at the bottom of the file

[reborn649]

Aaaand that did the trick! Thx buddy

[Wizerud]

The # mark basically REM's out that line i.e. says, ignore this line.

[theguyy]

Flush DNS instantly fixed this issue for me, thanks a ton Rogean!

[Isic]

What's the new DNS name for the server itself Rogean?

[sakanz]

You probably can't ping 67.23.190.71 anymore cause that's the old IP.
Looks like 108.61.129.166 is the new IP for login.eqemulator.net so if you're still pinging the old IP for login.eqemulator.net you either need to flush the DNS or force your computer to use the correct IP in the host file.
