I've tried many names over 5 letters and gone as fast as possible and it hasnt done anything different but what i already described. I don't think this is coincidence. :(

If you're using a firewall, it could be a port issue. You'd have to read your manual to figure that out though. I know EQ requires all ports in a certain range to be open. Could be corrupted files or something, or maybe you're using a software modem instead of a hardware modem. I'm using a software modem but I'll be getting a hardware modem soon. I've been having some trouble that points to my modem.

Im using a linksys router through a hardware modem and im pretty sure i have all the ports forwarded. 5994 - 5998 1024 - 6000 9000 - 9000 ? Another thought here... could it be a UI problem? If i replace the UI would that change anything?

If you change the default ui, you must have problem of compatibility, try only default ui for create char.
But if you can't connect to server zone (this is after the char creation) this is i think a client compatibility problem.

You also might want to go into your Device Manager and look under Sound, Video and Game Controllers to see if any modem audio devices are enabled, like Unimodem. If so, try disabling it. It can conflict with the audio in game, even if you don't use the EQ audio.
