I had :5998 after the login.eqemulator.net. in my eqhost.txt file. Should I delete that port?

no

Your eqhost.txt should look like this

[LoginServer]
Host=login.eqemulator.net:5998

Ok ya, still can't get in so I'll just wait. Thanks!

160.72.227.52:5998 worked for me in the hosts file.

I strongly advise against that, if it changes you won't be able to connect.

Using ...

[LoginServer]
Host=login.eqemulator.net:5998

Will allow you to connect should the ip change again in the future.

Correct, but login.eqemulator.net:5998 wasn't routing me to the correct IP, because the DNS wasn't updating properly. So. To connect, I had to connect directly to the *current* IP, and I'll change it later.

Let me introduce you to:

ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /flushdns

and if your DNS sucks set it to googles dns 8.8.8.8
