Are the pc's your using: behind a network, behind a router, or have any type of firewall on them? Yes I kno someone is going to say "That doesnt matter, only the server needs to worry about that" well ive gotten a few people to connect by disabling things like firewalls and such. If your using BroadBand, I suggest you go into your eq directory and find the file called "DataRate.txt", open it and change the number in their to 8. <= for broadband users I find 8 seems to work out. Also if you could say what internet provider you have... why?..because for some odd reason my freind couldnt enter my zone server yet you could get to the char creation screen fine, when he used AT&T first for his internet provider. Maybe some internet providers dont like the transaction going on between the server and your pc. <= I dont think thats the case here but hey, if the problem is to be fixed then I think we'll need to kno all the info we can about the problem. Actualy if you look at the first user's post in this forum he said he DID get into the charactor create screen but got kicked when entering the world.... if he did not change his datrate to a higher setting than default if he's on broadband.. than the problem is probably that. A few of my freinds got booted when entering world until they uped their datarate.
