Not quite sure if this is the right forum, but I'm getting desperate.

I've followed all of the installation and set up guides to connect to the Project 1999 server, but when I try to connect, my client freezes until I shut it down.

What can I do to fix this? I'm running a fresh Titanium client, no patching.

Are you running from inside a firewall? Can you ping eqemulator.net? Are you getting to the server select screen? How long are you waiting to shut down? Can you connect to any other eqemu servers?

Okay, I've made some progress, now it doesn't say it's frozen after I connect, it just stares at the server list.

Not sure how to interpret this - you mean when you hit the Play Everquest button it freezes?

Please provide details on how you're connecting to the net, at school/work? Through a router?

What computer and OS? Multicore CPU?

Yes
I'm connecting through a wireless router at my home.

It's an HP, Vista, and its a dual core.

I also have no sound in the log in/server menu.

Did I eff up my install somehow?

Have a look at this thread and make sure you've set affinity to one core, might help.
