returning player, cant connect! help!

[m22882]

so, i reinstalled eq after a year or so away, and for some reason i get an error message when i try to connect to the server select. i am using an EQ titanium ISO for my install, its own file directory [not under (x86)], downloaded the most recent P99 patch files (v45, i believe) and copied them to the EQ directory, added "patchme" to the shortcut, and launching with the "launch titanium" file. when i get to login i enter my info and hit enter and a window pops up saying that the server cant be reached and i may be d/c from the internet. as you can see, im not lol. has anyone had this problem or knows a workaround? thanks.
