The questions:
1.Version of Windows (including any service packs and exact version e.g Windows XP home edition SP 2):
Windows XP Pro SP2
2.Firewall in use. Did turning it off give any apparent effect at all:
I have tried with ZoneAlarm on and off
3.Router (If any) and firmware version:
Linksys Wireless B (BEFW11S4) Firmware Version: 1.52.02
Ports Fowarded: 5997, 9000, 7770-7794, 7950-8091
4.Type of graphics card/Driver version:
MSI Geforce 4 TI4800SE Driver verison: 8.4.2.1
5.Processor type and amount and type of computer memory (e.g. Athlon 3500+, DDR PC3200 2x512Meg):
AthlonXP 2800+ 1Gig DDR Ram, I forget the speed and brand, its been almost 4 years
6.Type of internet connection (if possible with ISP) and country:
Verizon DSL, Philadelphia PA
9. Does logging on at different times of the day reduce or increase the error:
I'll try later tonight. Update 3:45am: No difference.
10. Have you tried logging on on another computer in your location or elsewhere:
Not an option.
11. Any filesharing background programs running or installed (please include which):
None running.
12. How long have you had this problem:
Ever since I can remember. But now I can't log in at all.
13. Which steps have you taken to fix this:
Changing datarate.txt to 5.0 then 14.0.
Reran EQ patcher then installed SOD manual files.
I've tried the 5e error fixes without any success.
Resetted computer/router/modem.
Removing Router, and going straight through modem.
14. Other. Anything you've noticed or feel is relevant to the error.
I've just noticed using netpeeker that Eqgame.exe is changing the listening ports each time I press play. First time it was 1449 and 1450, then 1595 and 1596 then 2 others. None of which are on the forward ports list. I'm thinking maybe that me continuously hitting play might result in finally hitting one of my forwarded ports. I'm trying to set port forwarding on the ports listed, but its not working because each time I hit play I get new ports. Edit: nevermind set a range to cover new ports, no change.
I ran a speed test and currently its at 432kbps, my max is 1.5mbps, being close to holiday is alarming, but my friend can log on fine with 56k. Update: Full speed no difference.
Sometimes when I click play, I get kicked back to the SOE screen. Then when I log back in before server select screen I get the 1017 error.
There is no net activity when I try to connect to servers.
I had problems running the patcher so I tried the fixes without success. Then I installed using manual files, afterwards the patcher ran fine on its own.
Now paste you dbg.txt file to the end of the entry showing the part where the error is seen.
