blank server screen, timeouts, errors abound

Have you tried resetting your router or modem? This fixed my problem. If that fails, you should try opening your port for the game. I am going to make the assumption you know how to do this, but which port is being used for the server access, look in your eq folder for eqhost.txt and find the number. It is probably 5998. This is just some tips I gleaned from the eqemulator site.

My port is 5998, i'm not sure what you mean by "Try opening it"

I've powered down my modem/router several times. My router is brand new.

The game worked fine 2/3 days ago prior to the patch.

How do I open this magical port?
