Oki.. found something out.. please someone respond to this :
My firewall logs this :
EQEmuPatcher v1 N 2003-03-06 14:24:52
And it is trying to access this :
patchdata.foreverhacking.net - 80 180 284 - http TCP GET
http://patchdata.foreverhacking.net/patch.dat
Now.. a quick dns lookup at my house gives me this :
[root@dns root]# dig
www.foreverhacking.net
; <<>> DiG 9.1.3 <<>>
www.foreverhacking.net
;; global options: printcmd
;; Got answer:

And a same for patchdata :
[root@dns root]# dig patchdata.foreverhacking.net
; <<>> DiG 9.1.3 <<>> patchdata.foreverhacking.net

As you can see.. the patchdata "subdomain" of foreverhacking.net is non excistant. Anyone give me the current IP adress to connect to, i would be happy to do it. I tried to directly download "patch.dat" from
www.foreverhacking.net , but no avail.
So.. there is apparently nothing wrong with the patcher itself and the error message with patchsrv.dat, but rather a fault at connecting to the actual site where the files reside. Either the files have been stopped (illegal copied versions of .exe files or similar), or foreverhacking.net have just removed it due to bandwith or whatnot.
So.. can ANYONE at all verify that they are able to actually patch now? ie. Remove any "patch.dat", "Patchsrv.dat" or "patchedtemp" files residing in eq folder, and run the patch.exe again.
Please..
