Newb question -stuck at Logging in to Server

[Digz Graavz]

Hey all,

Just DLed, installed, made all the mods, and everything seemed great.

I changed the resolution under the options and got the game to load to the login screen. After I type in my info, I get to "Logging in to Server - Please Wait", then nothing happens. My computer also slows right down as if a ton of resources are being used.

Here's the first part of my dxdiag:

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can't wait to get back to the oldschool EQ :)

Thanks!

Post your eqhost.ini, sounds like you're not seeing the login server. Are you behind a firewall or have a software firewall installed that might be blocking port 5998...

I have used a couple of online port-checkers, and they tell me that 5998 is closed. I disabled windows firewall and opened the ports on my wireless router, but I still get the message that it's blocked.

Oh - and here's my eqhost.txt:

[LoginServer]
Host=eqemulator.net:5998

Reinstalled and everything is working beautifully.

Thanks for the support.\

Whenever I change anything in the seperate options window I cannot log in at all. I found that if I reset the resolution back to minimum it lets me log in, then I can switch it to what I want in game.
