Help please

<p>I have been patching for 3 days now and I am still having 140 hours left, I checked the forums and I found someone that said:" </p><p>"check that your internet connection isn't going through your ISP's transparent proxy server"</p><p>so I called my ISP to check if that is the case (and I belive that this is the case) so they asked me the patcher's IP, and Since i don't have it I can't check if this is the problem, any suggestions what to do or can someone give me the patcher's IP?</p>

However, in an effort to assist you in configuring your systems on your own, we would like to provide the following information which may help you in setting up your firewall to work with EverQuest II. EverQuest II LaunchPad and Patch Servers A TCP connection is initiated from the LaunchPad client port > 1023 to patch.station.sony.com port 7000. A UDP connection is initiated from the LaunchPad client port > 1023 to sdlaunchpad1.station.sony.com and sdlaunchpad2.station.sony.com port range 3016-3021 and 9700-9703. EverQuest II Patch: A TCP connection is initiated from the EverQuest II client port > 1023 to patch.everquest2.com, ablpatch.everquest2.com, abepatch.everquest2.com, or rrpatch.everquest2.com at port 7010. EverQuest II Game Client: UDP connections are initiated from the EverQuest II client port >1023 to servers on UDP ports 9100, and UDP ports in the range 32800-33000. Additionally, ICMP messages type 0 (echo reply), 3 (unreachable), 8 (echo request) and 11 (expired) should be permitted bi-directionally between the client PC and the EverQuest II servers. EverQuest II Servers Subnets: There are multiple IP addresses for the Patch and LaunchPad 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 these services. The EverQuest II server IP addresses are currently in these subnets: 64.37.158.*, 199.108.2.*, 199.108.12.*, 199.108.202.*, 199.108.203.*, 195.33.135.*
