Port 5998 may be blocked on your network there. If you open a command window (Start -> Run -> cmd) and type telnet eqemulator.net 5998 and it just sits there for a while trying to connect, it's probably blocked. If it goes blank and shows a blinking cursor then it's gotten a connection to the server on that port. (But will do nothing else since it doesn't actually work using the telnet protocol on the other end)

Revisiting this - if I get the cursor and blank window (meaning i connected to the server and the port is not blocked), but still can't connect to the login server, do you have any other ways of seeing if it's viable?

Edit: Adding error message.

This occurs when I hit the login screen and just try to "connect" or "quick connect."

"A connection to the server could not be reached. Please check your internet connection to make sure you are online.
