Only when I make a F.A.Q. bigger than yours!

[gotrocks]

i would <3 that. the more info on here the better, period!

Not to argue with either side, but I have the blank server issue only when visiting my parents, and have tried everything listed, plus suggestions by nilbog in PM, and have never had it solved at this location. It works elsewhere, and at this location I can even use the Sleeper server, just not eqemu servers. And I've never used the launcher. On-going problem for the better part of a year. Even tried getting with the phone company, new routers etc etc, the whole nine. I've yet to ever find a working solution.

Only thing different I have done was windows update.

Did you try system restore to a date prior to updates to rule that out?

Have you ensured that port 5998 is open on your parent's wifi/network?

I can log into the Server Select screen, but when I get there, no servers are showing up. It is just a blank list.
This usually means there is a network problem. Either your network is blocking port 5998 or your router may just be having issues that need to be corrected. If you live in a dorm or are playing from a public network, it is probably going through a proxy and that means they are most likely blocking port 5998, so you won't be able to play. If you are playing from home and have control of your internet connection, then the problem is probably either with your router/modem or with your PC. First, make sure that you don't have a firewall or any other security programs running that might block your connectivity in any way. Next, make sure you aren't forwarding port 5998 to any PCs on your network (this includes port range forwarding that would include port 5998 in the range). If not, next you want to try powering down your modem and router. Then power up your modem and wait until it gets a connection. Next, power up your router and wait for it to connect. Last, reboot your PC and try connecting to EQEmu again. If that still isn't working, then there is a good chance that you need to reset your router or router/modem back to factory defaults. Most modems have a sunken in button that you can hold down to reset it to defaults. Check your product documentation for how to do it. Once that is done, set up your router again and try connecting to EQEmu again. It should be working now, but if not, there may be an issue with the routing from your ISP or your router may just be going bad.

PS: Gotrocks add http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka.php?wakka=EQEmuFAQ to your FAQ if its not there already. I just discovered this (credit: P99 forum search found a Lyra post with the link).

Yep, done all that. It's the exact same router I used before I moved to Ohio and it worked properly there. And the epicemu server list, unless I am wrong, also uses 5998. And I can play there just fine. I'm not sweatin it anymore, was just pointing it out, it's been ongoing since Sept. of 2011 when I moved here, but I can play anywhere else fine so a small break between semesters is no biggie.

[falkun]

Sounds like your ISP might be blocking it, but you say you've already phoned them about that possibility.

[Silverain]

Yeah, went thru all that. Imagine two identical setups, the only diff is the provider. The second one is the one it didn't work at. So I assumed it was them, however I moved near campus shortly after and it was the same provider as the non-working location, yet it works there. But too many other variables at the house near campus to say. I just find it interesting the eqemu servers wont work, but the epicemu ones will, and they run through the same port. But, I survive, just wanted to share my exp with it and that I've yet to find a solution after this long.
