what exactly does middlemand do that fixes this that can't just be the default setting? this issue happens constantly.

Default Unable to connect.

Hello everyone,

Same for me.

I'm unable to log in to any of the three servers tonight. My internet connection is working perfectly, and I'm not experiencing any connectivity issues with anything else.

Regards.

Get the middlemand thing. You need to edit your eqhost.txt file per the instructions on github and run the exe before you start p99 then it will work.

Would still love to know what middlemand is actually doing and why it doesn't just work that way by default

The solution has been posted several times in this thread.

go here https://github.com/rm-you/p99-login-middlemand/releases

click the p99-login-middlemand.zip file and download it and extract the .exe from within and put it somewhere

do the steps in the Instructions: section of that page to modify your eqhosts.txt file

run p99-login-middlemand.exe that you extracted, you'll see a black box, ignore and minimize that

launch p99 as usual

Thank you all for your replies. I hadn't noticed that the solution had already been posted. Since English is not my native language, it didn't immediately stand out to me.

Best Regards.

Doesn't work for everyone. It's not a solid solution

Here is what worked for me on windows.

1 open a command prompt (type CMD in your start menu)

2 enter "ipconfig/release"

3 enter "ipconfig/flushdns"

4 enter "ipconfig/renew"

5 Now it's your world, do you!

commands should not include the quotation marks
