    Launche can't seem to make a connection and am getting the error message "unable to establish a connection"

    My internet is fine and I have tried disabling my anti virus and fire wall.

    Is there a problem at the moment?

    to clarify after reading the socket error post

    i don't have bloatware or malware. eq2 launcher runs fine. I tried the reset steps in he stickied post and launcher still won't connect

    I'm glad this isn't just me. I was in game a few hours ago, then my client froze and crashed. Tried logging back in and I couldn't connect. Strangely enough, then the everquest and SOE website wouldn't work either. What is stranger though, is that when I took my phone off the wifi, the EQ website works (that's how I'm toying this), but when I go back on the wifi or try to access the site from my computer, I get some weird (obviously non official) everquest gold selling type site at everquest.com.

    As my internet works fine otherwise, I was thinking maybe it was a problem on my ISP's end accessing everquest. But seeing everyone else's troubles seems like there's something very wrong on Sonys end.
