    I restarted my pc, turned firewall on and off, still doesn't work.

    My internet connection is fine, can browse with Firefox, download music, etc.

    I too am experiencing this, no socket error, just unable to connect to the Vox server.
  5. Zhutuak Augur

    I should have posted also that the help link the pop up box offers goes to a currently dead page. I have had no issues prior to today, any updates?
  6. Gontak New Member

    Having the exact same issue as original poster, neither account works, SOE webpage is some gold farming now. Is it possible EQ got hacked? better check yo debit/credit cards yall
  7. Zellic Elder

    Do they at least have reasonable prices? I only get regular boring old everquest.com!
  8. Wayylon Augur

    Ya its on the front page now, login issue affecting all SOE games.
  9. Zellic Elder

    Was able to log on two toons just now

    No idea if it sticks though
  10. Philphans Lorekeeper

    Do you have the eq ip address In
    Your hosts file ?
  11. Zhutuak Augur

    If someone figures out how to get in, a detailed explanation as to hwo would be nice...
  12. Zellic Elder

    I did ipconfig /flushdns

    No idea if that did it, but I seem to be able to play now.
  13. Zhutuak Augur

    I am computer illiterate, no idea what that means.
  14. Trilo New Member

    Flushing the DNS cache for me like that (ipconfig /flushdns) did not work for me.

    Still cannot get in.
  15. Zellic Elder

    Start->All Programs->Accessories->Command Prompt
    Type in:
    ipconfig /flushdns
    Hit enter

    Edit: www.everquest.com stopped working after I did it, cant connect to it at all now. But game still works, for some reason.

    Edit2: Nope, not working again. Was able to log on 4 toons and do a quick houses of thex run, but now I can't log on bard and will probably get disconnected if I try to zone out from where I am atm.

    We are currently investigating the reported connection issues for SOE games, forums, and websites. Thanks for your patience! [Dexella]

    Lol there is nothing to investigate. They didn't renew their domains before they expired . Network solutions changed where the domains pint to at that point . So now we wait til the domains are set to the right server ip's.

    "They didn't renew their domains before they expired ." Isn't that supposed to be automatic? I'm sure they don't have somebody with a yellow sticky on their monitor going, OHH!!... That's what I forgot to do today!
