eqhost.txt issues

when I make the change to the eqhost.txt like the play guide says and try to say it I get a message about "C:/Program/Sony/Everquest/eqhost.txt does not exist"
I uninstalled and re installed the game and that didn't help.
Anyone know how to fix this problem?

Try opening a notepad window and then adding this text into the window:

Code:

@echo off

> eqhost.txt echo [LoginServer]

>> eqhost.txt echo Host=www.eqemulator.net:5998

Then, save that file to your EQ directory as "createhost.bat". To make sure you save it properly, in notepad, click "File", then "Save As...", then paste "createhost.bat" into the filename field. Then, it is very important to make sure that you set the "Save as type:" dropdown field to "All Files". Make sure you are in your EQ folder and then just click "Save". Then, you just need to find that file and double click it to run it. That will overwrite your existing eqhost.txt file if you have one, or create a new one if you do not have one already. It might be a bit more complex than the easy way of doing it, but following these instructions should get it working without any further problems.

it almost worked, when I try to save the file in the the EQ folder i get a messege reading "You do not have permission to save to this folder"

Are you running Vista or something? Is this a legal fresh installation of EQ Titanium? You can probably correct that problem by right clicking your Everquest folder and going to "Properties", then remove the check mark in the "Read Only" field if there is one.

Alternatively, you could just move the createhost.bat file to your desktop and run it there, then just copy the file it creates into your EQ folder.

omg, you got skills, ty so much!!
