Apparently I patched when I shouldn't have?

I'm new to this idea, but I'd really like to try this out. I've gone through all the posts I could find regarding my problem, but I can't find a fix. I'm coming up with the following error when checking my version:
-----

Problem! EQVerCheck was unable to find a recognized version of EverQuest to match with a loginserver. This could be for a few reasons:
-- You have patched to live which has an incompatible version with EQEMu.
-- You have an unpatched or too old version of EverQuest that this program recognizes.
-- An error has occured reading the verison information file.
-- This program is too outdated to match this version of EverQuest with a loginserver.
Please report this on the EQEmulator forums with your SEQ number ( SEQ0A167) and date you patched to live. ONLY report versions you KNOW to work with a version of EQEMulator.

I have my EQHost set to:
--
[LoginServer]
Host=eqemulator.net:5994
--

When I try and log in, I get stuck at the "Logging in to the server, please wait..." screen.

Is the Emulator server down? Have I done something wrong? I know how frustrating these simple questions can be, but any help would be appreciated. I have a craving to go check out Cabalis/CoM again.
