Cannot get past server select screen (black screen no servers)

[The_DarkSavant]

I tried logging in and i can get past the connect screen but when i get to the server select screen its completely blank. No servers show up at all. I didnt change any files in my directory either. The last time i was on P1999 server everything worked fine and now blank server select screen. No idea on what to do now.

created shortcut from directory. Target path is C:\EQLite\eqgame.exe patchme

[LoginServer]
Host=eqemulator.net:5998

Tried resetting router/modem. Internet works fine. Firewall off.

When you say the server select screen is blank/black is the ENTIRE screen this way, or can you actually see the box where servers SHOULD be?

Also,

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.

And last but not least, you can potentially change the host file to connect directly to the IP address of the server, as opposed to what you have it set to now.

I ran into that on initial install and found that I had some old EQ files that weren't wiping with the uninstall I did previously. I uninstalled again and manually deleted allt he leftovers. After reinstall, it was fine.
