If anything, this will help narrow down your FAQ's and maybe get some stuff done so you won't have to adress it in the future.

Still no go with the new server and client, same troubles, so lets try some troubleshooting.

Which service pack are you running under Win2K? NOt sure if this would affect it or not, but lets be thorough.

Which version of .net are you running?

When are you executing the server and client. DO you execute the server and then load eq, or do it after eq is up, also, when do you execute the client.

Lastly, and this may be what my problem is, has anyone gotten the ready made Bin's to work or is it possible we need to compile them on our machines for our machines? I had trouble like this with maggot boy's sniffer. I used one a friend compiled, but no luck, but after i compiled my own, it worked awsomely.

could any of these be the trouble?

Sincerely,
