Problem logging into server

[Atavax]

just recently installed eq secrets of faydwer and attempted to use this emulator... i followed the instructions given. i load EQ and it goes to the login screen, i use the username and password i made and press enter, and a window pops up saying "Logging in to the server. Please wait..." and it stays on that screen and never progresses. i double check eqhost.txt and im 100% sure there are no spaces and the name of the file is correct... dont know what else could be the problem...
