Unrelated

Question is sorta unrelated but this is the only forum that anyone will have an idea of what I ask? What file in the Everquest directory specifies the port and IP that login to the servers. And if the port number is changed might this still work.?

Please consult the everquest official Tech section on http://eqlive.station.sony.com/support/tech_support/ts_network_support_firewall_proxy_info.jsp



Patch Application:
A TCP connection is initiated from the player's PC (using ports numbered >1023) to patch.everquest.com, port 7000. There are multiple IP addresses for the patch.everquest.com clusters, and they may change as the network demands, so check often using a DNS lookup tool if you provide a specific firewall rule for patching.

EverQuest client:
UDP datagrams are sent to/from the player's PC (using ports numbered >1023) from/to the EverQuest servers (using ports numbered >1023). Additionally, ICMP Unreachables (ICMP type 3) are sent to/from the player's PC from/to the EverQuest servers.

The EverQuest server IP addresses are on the subnets:
64.37.148.* , 64.37.149.* , 64.37.150.* , 64.37.151.* , 64.37.156.* , 64.37.157.* , 63.241.40.*, 63.241.41.*, 63.241.42.*, 63.241.43.*, 195.33.132.*, and 195.33.108.* These may be summarized as 64.37.148.0/22 , 64.37.156.0/23 , 63.241.40.0/22 , 195.33.132.0/24 , and 195.33.108.0/24

Please note that EverQuest opens a random UDP data port from the player's PC every time EverQuest is run. Thus, the need to have all ports >1023 available.


The file used to determine the INITIAL contact to the Everquest servers is eqhost.txt found in your EQ directory.
