Hey all,

I am a returning member to P99. I recently moved and have not played in quite a while. I tried to reinstall Everquest p99 so that I could play again in my free time, but I'm having some difficulty. I have already tried the following to fix my problem:

1. Reinstalled Titanium and followed the instructions on the "getting started page" on p99 twice.

2. Followed all of the instructions on the FAQ including updating all of my drivers (especially my networking card).

3. Attempted changing the EQhost.txt to login2.eqemulator.net:5998 (as instructed in one of the other forum posts).

4. rebooted my computer, modem and router religiously.

5. Turned off my Avast BEFORE even starting the installation on titanium and kept it off.

6. Turned off my windows firewall (and kept it off throughout all of this).

7. Attempted using EQemulator, but I have the same problem (the emulator cannot even connect using the web browser).

8. Obviously tried adding patchme to the end of the target name in properties of the eqgame.exe shortcut as it is in the FAQ.

9. I am trying to run the game from my house and I'm 99% certain that my 5998 port is NOT closed.

10. I have tried running the EQgame.exe shortcut as both Administrator and not as Administrator.

Anyway, I'm really not sure what else I should try. Any help would be much appreciated.

The error message I'm receiving is, "A connection to the server could not be reached. Please check your internet connection to make sure you are online."

Thanks EQ Fans and wish me luck I really want to play again!
