Question - EQBCS VS DANNET??

[Sshanty]

that is the eqbc server which is required to have open for eqbc to communicate with (there is nothing wrong there). If you want to use eqbc you can see the overview/video > MQ2EQBC <

if you don't already have a preference to use eqbc, you should stick with the default mq2dannet

Concur, I'm loving dannet. I was all eqbc prior and similarly am just returning to eq again after a short hiatus.

going from this in eqbc

/noparse /bca //if (${Me.Class.ShortName.Equal[CLR]}) /sit

to this in dannet

/dge clr /sit

so much easier

and dannet just binds to your network (not sure if that is the correct terminology) so sending commands across the network is already setup in most cases. but changing that is super simple to. /dnet interface <actual interface name - ex "WI-FI"> then reload the plugin on all toons and your good to go.

I haven't used eqbcs in some time. I use to get random toons disconnecting. Switch to DanNet and never looked back. Can't say I have ever had a toon drop from DanNet. Took a little time to get use to the new commands, but well worth it.

Agree with @Cannonballdex I have not had issue since I switched to DanNet.
