• Hail, we're RedGuides. We want you to play six (yes, 6!) EverQuest characters at once. We have scripts and a friendly community to help, please join our playstyle and say hello! 👋
  • We've added LLM sections to our Terms & Rules and Resource Rules, for everyone's sanity & in-game safety.
    Read more
    a. Do not replace your voice with an LLM. This goes for your posts and your scripts. Drafting and editing with a tool is fine, but don't take you out of what you share.
    b. Do not replace your EQ character's voice with an LLM. We don't want scripts that speak over /ooc, /shout or other public channels. This has been an unwritten rule that's kept casino scripts off the site for decades, but we're now compelled to make it clear: keep automated communication private.

    Why Does RG Review Scripts?
    Nearly every LLM-written Lua script we see is making your character do impossible things, and rarely in a way that's beneficial to you. We've seen heavy server hammering, /target over impossible distances when /nav spawn would passively accomplish the same thing, a spawn search that fires 20+ times per second, and other pointless actions that are likely annoying GMs.

    You are welcome to use LLMs as a tool to structure, draft, and edit your work, but please read critically before hitting /lua run

Hi all.
Newbie here with a few questions if I may.
I will ask in separate threads.
Q. If I use MQ2 (running happily of my home network) and later shut down & reboot computer then the home network will not allow downloads or allow me to log onto EQ.
Yet if I change computer connection to hotspot off my phone there is no issue.
Any ideas what is happening here?
Regards and ty.

are you using some kind of vpn? or have your network settings to public instead of home? or your firewall blocking things it shouldnt?

What exactly is happening? When you say it won't let you... is it giving any type of error message? When you try to load EQ? When you try to download (from other locations on your network or from somewhere on teh intarwebz)?

Can you get to websites in a browser?

Could be firewall (windows based/router based), could be a DNS issue, could be antivirus.

We would need much more information to help troubleshoot this. ISP? Modem type? Router type? Connection type? Network diagram?

Just guessing from what you've provided I would suspect some issue with your router handing out your IP address via DHCP. What happens if you reboot a 2nd time?
 
There could be a myriad of reasons why. Need more information and what troubleshooting steps you have taken to remedy the problem. Do you control your home network? Or are you under someone else's supervision? Virus check? Can you pin or tracert the everquest servers?
 
Windows 11? Likely you have networks setup differently in Windows so one network is viewed as public and your hotspot listed as Private. You actually have 3 different firewall setups.
 
Thanks all for your responses.
I wil go through them and see if I can work it out from there.
Appreciated and I will get back when I work through some of the suggestions.
Cheers
