Your not trying to rename the eqhost file to Host=eqemulator.net:5998 are you? if so thats why your getting  that error you can't name a file useing : ' etc. 
 
go to your eqhost file open the file (right clight then open or double left clicking) then change the line in the file to Host=eqemulator.net:5998 to play on PEQ server or the others or Host=127.0.0.1:5999 to play on your own server
