EQ F2P used for P99?

[Whopperfoo]

Hi,

I'm trying to play using the F2P download of EQ for live. I followed all the install instructions but when trying to log in I get: "Logging in to the server. Please wait..." which hangs indefinitely.

From what I can tell from the forums it's either my firewall or this install of EQ won't work.

Any help on this question while I try and figure out if it's my firewall and how to fix it?
