Update:
I have now eliminated two possibilities:
Fresh install of the EQ client on old rig...unsuccessful & I have now done a fresh install on a completely different rig and my problem persists. I am rejected by world when attempting to authenticate. My issue is now narrowed down to MetroPCS tether / hotspot.
I am at a dead end here. The rig I have been gaming on since playing on P99 has never had any issues either directly connected from modem to PC or wireless. I cannot connect to P99 via USB tether from my MetroPCS phone. I am paying extra monthly for the ability to do so legitimately for the sole purpose of playing on P99 where I am located (very remote).
I believe the problem is that I have an open proxy (my phone between MetroPCS internet and my PC...obviously) and the server staff must have a setting that does not allow open proxy connections. With that being said, other people on P99 are playing via a tether so what makes their case different from mine? Does anyone know of a way to circumvent this? I have no intentions to dual box or break any server rules ... I simply want to play Everquest and am at my wits end with this.
I have IP exemptions on both of my accounts from where I previously lived (with my brother ... Infuriati) so that I could play my Shaman or Warrior when he was on his Monk. I hope there is a type of exemption in the realm of open proxy connections like mine (which I imagine is rare?).
Anyhow...I am going to keep digging. Any further tips or information provided by you all is very much appreciated...and I thank you.
