Cannot connect to Live server.

I went through and did everything word for word in the "how to" you have posted here. made the shortcut, put "patchme" at the end. made a shortcut, changed the eqhost file. registered ingame with the #setlsinfo command and it all went well. Now, when I clicked on the shortcut i created, all it does is pop up with a box that says, "Please run Everquest.exe" So just trying something out I go and click on the Everquest.exe (not the eqgame one) and THAT one just tells me "Cannot establish connect" Any suggestions on what to do or why this keeps happening? Thank you!

If I remember correctly the Run everquest.exe error can be caused by having the " in the wrong spot on the shortcut, you may want to double check.

Did you do this step after you created the LS accounts?

3. Change your eqhost.txt file to point to our Private Login Server.
To do so go to your Everquest directory (e.g. C:\Program Files\Everquest) and make a copy of the file eqhost.txt to eqhost.txt_backup. Then open the original eqhost.txt file and change it (depending on your client)
Titanium and SoF client to:

SoD and UF client to:

Host=login.thehiddenforest.org:5999
