That is the wiki guide you should be using. The eqhost.txt file is really simple. All you do is go to your everquest directory and look for a file called eqhost.txt. Then double click that file and it will open up in notepad. Then put in the following information:
[LoginServer]
Host=eqemulator.net:5998
Make sure that you remove everything else that is in that file. Then click "file" and then "save" in notepad (don't "save as"). This will automatically save the changes without having to worry about it adding another file extension onto it. That is all. You are making it too complicated. You don't have to have any other host files anywhere or edit any of your other host files.
The only thing that concerns me is that you said you right clicked on your eqemu shortcut icon and went to properties and it listed the eqhost.ini file in there??? That definitely shouldn't be there lol. The only things you need in there are:
Target:
"C:\Program Files\Everquest\eqgame.exe" patchme
Start in:
C:\Program Files\Everquest\
There shouldn't be anything about eqhost.ini in your shortcut.
