No servers on server select

[Kelsar]

So, for about a week now I've had no servers on my select screen. I've been playing emulators for years; since guildwars.

I've tried the following:
Restarting
flushing (tcpip /release & /renew)
calling provider to get a new IP
calling provide to reset optical box
resetting router to factory settings
port forwarding on 5998 (never had to before)
removing all firewall software, etc.

--- I'm convinced it's some sort of networking issue - my wife's computer is showing the same thing, no servers at the server select screen.

Does anyone have any ideas?

are you using the emu launcher, or is this happening from within the game?

You are not alone. So far there is no solution nor will there be one while this issue involves the minority.

"I can log into the Server Select screen, but when I get there, no servers are showing up. It is just a blank list.

This usually means there is a network problem. Either your network is blocking port 5998 or your router may just be having issues that need to be corrected. If you live in a dorm or are playing from a public network, it is probably going through a proxy and that means they are most likely blocking port 5998, so you won't be able to play. If you are playing from home and have control of your internet connection, then the problem is probably either with your router/modem or with your PC. First, make sure that you don't have a firewall or any other security programs running that might block your connectivity in any way. Next, make sure you aren't forwarding port 5998 to any PCs on your network (this includes port range forwarding that would include port 5998 in the range). If not, next you want to try powering down your modem and router. Then power up your modem and wait until it gets a connection. Next, power up your router and wait for it to connect. Last, reboot your PC and try connecting to EQEmu again. If that still isn't working, then there is a good chance that you need to reset your router or router/modem back to factory defaults. Most modems have a sunken in button that you can hold down to reset it to defaults. Check your product documentation for how to do it. Once that is done, set up your router again and try connecting to EQEmu again. It should be working now, but if not, there may be an issue with the routing from your ISP or your router may just be going bad."

Have done all of that except get a new router and investigate my ISP's routing.

Fat chance - impossible because i don't do it.

I had this problem for a while and it randomly started working again. Overall, raiding without competition has become dreadfully boring and even though I can connect fine now, I find myself losing interest in a neglected and shady server. It is a shame it does effect a few including some real life friends of mine who just discovered the project but have this exact same issue while never playing on the server before. Sadly, they are no longer interested either. Much better games out there now.

Got another router coming...

i also have this problem it has nothing to do with being banned because my brothers and i can connect at my girlfriends house under her DSL just fine. it doesnt seem to matter which account it is because any account that tries to connect from my T1 cannot seem to get into the game or even get the server list to show up. I have also tried removing the router and plugging directly into my modem... no help.
