So this is the friend. The router/Modem is a Netgear cg3000d. I believe the settings are already set up for a Dynamic IP. something that is also weird is when i go to check my ports at "Canyouseeme.org", No matter what port is put there it says it "Can NOT see me" even port 80. But I have been playing other online games on this machine as well.

@jimsox I have Titanium selected there is SOD and SOF in the list but no others

In order to get a success from can you see me you would have to be actually running a service on your PC. For example if you run an FTP server that is open to the public (default 21) and typed 21 as the port to check you would get a success result.

Find out if you can run DMZ on your PC. You will set up DMZ for a specific local network ip which is the IP you see when you go to a command prompt (Start-> cmd.exe) and type ipconfig, it will be listed as your IPv4. If you set DMZ on for your pc you will open all ports this is a good way to check if your router is blocking you. If you have a success after this then it is your router that is blocking you. Try that first.

Also, what Jimsox means is after you installed everquest did you run the everquest patcher? (don't do this)
If you do this and it starts to patch the game the files will be too up to date for the project 1999 server (and probably too corrupt for any other server)
