Problems starting

[Belgariod]

I got the game loaded, put in the files on this site to the Everquest folder, deleted the files mentioned. When I start the client it is trying to patch every time. And when it can't connect, it keeps saying, "Could not establish a connection. Please check your network connection or contact eqteck@soe.sony.com.

Doesn't this mean it is trying to hit the main servers for Sony?

Any help will be appreciated.
