Question from a non-tech person - in slightly more detail, what exactly does this do? Releases your current IP and establishes a new one within the same domain? Does it just re-establish the same IP but shakes up some of the underlying values?

All that does is renew your local private I.P. Your globally known public I.P. is not going to change by issuing that command.

I had the same problem like oll other posters here. After reading the forums without finding any solution yesterday I simply restarted the computer. Technically its also a "renew IP" :-)

How came this renew-IP-thing in your mind mimixownzall and why just a few ppl faced the problem?

Well, I was getting this error on my main PC. I then tried logging in on my laptop and did so with no problems. They are both on the same router. I figured it was something screwed up with either my game or my connection to the router on my main PC.

I completely exited out of eq and tried logging back in, still had the unknown error. So then I renewed my IP. That happened to work.

Next step would have been restarting computer. Next step then would have been restarting router and modem. If those failed, I would have nerd raged and choked my neighbors' dog.

Also having the same issue. I've restarted. I'm already updated for the spells file as well as the v4changes. I logged in earlier today, no problem, havent been able to log in since. When I get to server select, it stays blank for a long period of time before finally giving Error- timeout error. If I use the 'Quick Connect' button at login, I get to character select, but none of my characters are there. Been like 4 hours, reset modem, restarted several times as I said. Any updates are appreciated.
