Are you running Windows Vista? Or, maybe you have your folder options set to not display known file types? Make sure that when you save the file, you save it as eqhost.txt using notepad and when you do, make sure that you set the "Save as type:" field to "All Files" so it doesn't add an extra .txt to the end of it. Also, make 100% sure that you don't have any extra spaces or carriage returns in your eqhost.txt file. Even if there is an extra space at the end of either line or if there is a return after the last line, it will cause it to break.
