I found this on EQEmu:

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.

I'm not playing from a dorm, but I was going to do things during my lunch break or just before I begin work (since I get here way early). Probably not worth asking for an exception...I'll probably find a local wireless network close to my school to visit before i go to class.

For the record, I also tried 5999 (the port given for SoF users), and that yielded the same result.
