I used EVE through a ssh tunnel while i was at uni and the network was being weird, and this is how i did it:
Step 1:
Install PuTTy. PuTTy is a ssh client for windows. It has proxy features built in, which make it very useful for using as a ssh tunnel utility. PuTTy can be found at: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
Step 2:
Get yourself a shell account on a server somewhere. Ideally you'd run your own server to connect through like I do/did, but if that's not a possibility, ask around. Maybe someone you know has a server you could use to proxy through? If all fails, search the internet.
Step 3:
Run PuTTy through the command line (cmd.exe - if you don't know how to get to this, go to "Start" > "Run.." and type "cmd", then hit enter. It should pop up.) If you place PuTTy.exe in your windows, system, or system32 folder, you need only to refer to putty by name as i do, otherwise you will need to navigate to the path you put it in, or run it directly from the path.
In this example, putty is located on my hard drive at d:/stuff/putty.exe, and I am using port 8080 as my local proxy port. My username on the server i am using is Callista, and the server address is omgrawr.com
in the windows command line I type the following:
D:/stuff/putty -D 8080 -l callista omgrawr.com
I am then promted for a password, put in yoru shell account password now. PuTTy is now acting as a ssh tunnel, and running a local socks5 proxy on your machine which you can connect through.
Step 4:
Get and run SocksCap from http://www.socks.nec.com. SocksCap allows you to run any program through it, and it works by "capturing" tcp packets, and routing them through the proxy defined in your preferences. You can use it by simply dragging the eve .exe onto it, or by setting up an eve profile.
Set up your sockscap to use the proxy port you ran PuTTy with, in my case 8080.
So my socks5 proxy server is: localhost
and the port is: 8080
Step 5:
Run EVE through SocksCap, and all should work! It did for me anyway! :D
I hope this helps some people, and i hope i haven't missed anything important out.

Unfortunately all the free shell providers seem to be not taking on any more accounts, mores the pity. My proxy in work blocks eve, and being on the late shift it would be nice to have something to do when it's quiet.

Has the IP for the server changed? Or is it still 157 etc?

There is a simple way to do this:
1. Manage to have a SSH connection through were you are
I was using Bitvise WinSSHD and Tunnelier to create a SSH tunnel. I still use Tunnelier but now I have a full linux server with OpenSSH.
Bitevise website
PS: WinSSHD is not free, but Tunnelier is for private use.
2. After you have a connection, go in tunnelier under the C2S fwding tab and add a new entry with these setting:
Listen address: 127.0.0.1
Local Port: 26000
Remote address: 87.237.88.200 NEW CLUSTER IP
Remote Port: 26000
Comment: EVE
you will need to disconnect and reconnect to enable the port fowarding.
3. Start eve and click on the dropdown for the server. select the text and type 127.0.0.1 instead of "tranquility".
et voila! if you did it right, you will have the Motd and server status.
that work for me, maybe for you too.

I have the following problem:
I have 2 computers I use to play eve, on the first I play eve in 1900x1200 (native of my 24" LCD) and the second 1024x768 (videocard limitations...)
I want to copy the cache directory from the first to the second compu, so the second compu also has all the BMs in folders, but when I do, the second compu now also tries to start eve in 1900x1200.
I have tried to change the "desktopheight" and "desktopWidth" setting in prefs.ini to 1024x768, but thsi has no effect.
In conjunction to this I also tried different settings for "desktopSetup" (0,1 and 2) but eve keeps starting in 1900x1200 on the second machine.
Prefs.ini seems teo have no effect.
Any help?

buffersize
Default Setting: 80
Recommended Setting: Varies
buffersize is the trigger that tells EVE Online how much buffer to
store into your RAM. Put the setting to half of your physical RAM.
Note: Increases performance
What exactly is this default setting value referring to?
Is it a percentage of total RAM or is it an explicit value in kilobytes or megabytes?
At a guess it looks like it's specified in MB but a little clarification would be a big help.

I dont think it has anything to do with memory actually. Ive been playing with this buffer setting and it appears to be a time buffer. By that i mean it increases the amount of buffered information and the time latency to the servers so the game runs smoother for slower connections. I know this because i have 3gb of ram and when i set it to 1536 commands to the game took longer to respond, although the game was INCREDIBLY smooth with no engine line redraws like i normally get when initiating an action.

So here's one for you guys...where do you find your prefs.ini file if you're in Vista RC1, and in the EVE directory there is -no- cache directory, even after playing for a few hours

The reason there is no cache folder in Vista is because of this:
Vista makes a copy of any changed files in a administrator folder (ie the EVE directory) and makes the game think this folder is there. I dont know where it is, but just run the game as administrator (right click on the icon and go properties, you'll find it), and then the cache dir is there.

Hi and thx for this usefull topic !
I have one question about this option
Quote:
port
Default Setting: 26000
Recommended Setting: 26000
port sets the port for EVE Online to connect through the internet. Useful if you are
behind a firewall.
ok here it is:
well im 16 soon 17 years old and i going in the upper secondary school (IT) and well from my school we gat a free laptop :D ... and we may install whatever we whant on it. and when it comes to games we are alowed to have it but not in lesons, only at reseses and after school, wich i think you can guess. and well ive installed eve on it, and it works grat! but the thing is that i cant connect to my acc in school because of the firewall ... ive tryed to change this "port" but it just dosnt work. as you saied "Useful if you are
behind a firewall" but why dosnt it work !? ????
Please tell me how im suposed to do!

 Well, Since it took me so darn long to find it myself I figured I would share for those who may be in the same boat... or may soon find themselves in the same boat.
I'm beta testing Microsfot Vista and naturally, no beta test would be complete without some gaming adventures.  Wanting to tweak my prefs.ini file I jumped to the typical location and discovered that it wasn't there. Heck, the whole cache folder didn't even exist!
So... diging around on the hard drive, I finally found where Vista likes to keep this folder/file.
 C:\Users\"Your user name here"\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\CCP\EVE\cache\prefs.ini
So... if you find yourself running vista in the near future and you want to edit your prefs.ini file... look for it in this deep dark dungeon that microsoft has created for us.

pfPenaly: Don't know, maybe the autopilot system sec status penalty option
rebootTime: Probably the timestamp for last client or server reboot
showintro: Should be the intro movie
texelalign: adjusting texture alignment, some graphics card disply textures aligned wrongly, mostly shows up as unreadable text. Adjusting this can fix it.
uiGain: probably sound level for ui related sounds (compare it with for example evevoiceGain and eveampGain)

Hell all,
I'm a newb playing Eve (the tutorial) on a trial. So far, very interesting.
Anyway, in my pref.ini file I do not have the "advancedDevice" entry listed.
I have the latest version of Eve, .25245
Anyone know why this entry is missing?
I really want to find the optimum graphics settings for my card, 9700pro, and system.
Thank you, in advanced.

Any specifics on the setup of this server that need to be adhered to? I'm not so much a Linux guru, but I can find my way around. Do I just need system with my own user account and remote SSH logins enabled?
Also, is it a big deal to run this entire production (the SSH link between the machine I'm playing on and the linux box that's acting as a proxy) over port 80? Stupid work firewall (WebSENSE sucks) blocks almost everything. It's amazingly comprehensive.
Thanks for any help/suggestions you guys can provide.

I think the firewall port thingy doodah is if you can only have set ports open on your network. You still need to tell the firewall / router to send incoming traffic from EVE on port 26000 to the port you have specified in your prefs.ini
I am probably wrong about this as I donÆt know networking that well.
I bet if you asked your IT manager at high school to allow this port, and tell him why, he would open it for you.
Would you æcouldÆ do is set up something that bounces all requests to your home pc on port 80 to eve on port 26000 and relays that back to your laptop at school via port 80, or any other open port on the school network.

I couldn't get the client to remember my password forever. Until I put advancedDevice=1 and savepasswords=1 and password=xXx at the very END of the prefs.ini file.
Might work for those of you having issues with this simple but helpful trick.

PREFS.INI changes don't stick, in my experience.
EVE seems to be starting up with default settings, no matter what I enter.
File I'm using is in the <Cache> folder, and the first change I made - PW options - worked fine the first two times I restarted EVE.
But now, even tho' the ini is still there w/ the changes I made, EVE boots with default settings every time I start it.
I did an uninstall, and re-install in a different directory. It's still doing the same thing.
I had this happen. You have to exit the game first or it gets overwritten when the game closes.

Hello guys,
I am relatively new to EVE, but I've edited .ini files before (for unreal tournament). I was reading about how to turn on anti-aliasing options etc in EVE and found this thread. I added the "advancedDevice" item to my prefs.ini at the top of the list like so...
advancedDevice:1
...but I don't see any AA options in the graphics pane. In fact, no additional objects seem to have appeared... and z-buffer was already there.
I also tried using the nvidia control panel to set a profile for EVE, first using the existing app profile, then when that didn't work by creating a new profile and browsing to eve.exe. Neither seems to do anything (I have 8xAA set in both profiles, amongst other things...)
Any ideas?
Thanks
Oh, and excellent guide. Very good idea.
