It happened to me yesterday. I am on a router and did the steps above and it fixed it.

ok heres the deal, what you need to do is find rogeans post on the main page, download eqchangesv4blahblah.zip inside is 1 folder and two text files, paste the two text files into your main eq directory, and the stuff in resources folder, goes into the resources folder, make sure your os replaces the files and doesnt make a duplicate next to it... they have it set up so you cant login untill you have the proper files.. done if you've already done this, then shoot me

Negative. That had nothing to do with this problem, and it started working for almost everybody last night. If you haven't updated to v4 changes you will not see your characters.

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?

thanks [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

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.
