no host was found! getting this message need help
 

I have set up my eqhost file to read

[Registration Servers]
{
"eqlogin.gotfrags.com:5997"
}
[Login Servers]
{
"eqlogin.gotfrags.com:5997"
}

I have also tried setting the port numbers to 5999 instead. I just got eqw up and running, it was giving me a hard time to now I am getting this error when I try to put in my username and password to get into the login server. Could someone please help me with this I am slowly getting this all together but I need help figuring out all these little errors.

This sounds just about exactly like the problem that I am having. I have set my eqhost file to just about exactly the same and I cant log in either :(

Same problem too...
 

I got the same errors, and I've try the two possible ways to connect (explained in the Readme.txt), and always the same errors...

Please someone, take a few minutes to help us, because you are the only ones that can help us.


Thanks in advance,
and sorry for my poor english :)

password=************These are the valid Gotfrags logins
worldaddress=192.168.0.6

And this works fine for me .......

Feel free to copy these setting as I can confirm they work

Gotfrags loginserver is 5999. use that in eqhost.txt and loginport=

A Way to Fix "No Host Error" eqhost.txt
 

I have noticed that there are many people that receive the following type of error(somthing that resembles the following):

No Host was Found! Please make sure eqhost.txt is in your Everquest Directory.....

Well I have found a way to fix this so far, though I cannot guarantee it will work for everyone...

In place of the whole [Registered User] and all that stuff in the readme setup for eqhost.txt....

just have the following(when using localhost/minilogin)

localhost
5999

This is because the original Everquest eqhost.txt looks like this:

chat.everquest.com
5999


This has appered to fix the problem and is a lot shorter than the whole 9 Line bit in the REadme file...its been working for me so far :)

This is a very old thread.

Always use the current eqhost.txt found at http://www.eqemu.net/eqhost.txt
